Setting Auto Pillarbox
If your TV is a 16:9 TV that does not automatically detect 4:3 transmissions (and therefore does not add black
bars to the sides of the picture), then 4:3 transmissions
may
display “stretched” to fit the 16:9 screen. If you
do not want this effect, you can set your set-top to add black bars to the 4:3 picture, so that it is transmitted to
your TV at a 16:9 aspect ratio. See the example below.
Changing the Auto Pillarbox setting
If you have not done so already, put your set-top into User Settings mode, as described on page 15.
1. Press the
U
or
D
button on your remote control until the front panel shows “PiLL”.
On the PACE USER SETTINGS menu, Auto Pillarbox is highlighted when “PiLL” is on the front panel.
2. Press the
R
button.
The Auto Pillarbox menu appears on your TV screen. The current Auto Pillarbox setting (“YeS” = switched
on, or “no” = switched off) is displayed on the front panel.
3. If you want to change the setting, press
U
or
D
. Press the
OK/Select
button to confirm your choice and
change to the new setting.
4. Press the
L
button. The front panel shows “PiLL” again and the PACE USER SETTINGS menu reappears.
To continue making the settings, see the next section.
NOTE
16:9 picture in a 4:3 transmission
Sometimes, 4:3 transmissions may contain a 16:9 picture, with black borders at the top and bottom. On a
16:9 TV, this may display with black borders all the way around the picture. To remove these borders, you
can use the “Zoom function” button on your remote control (could be labeled ZOOM or ASPECT).
See the example below. For more information about using “Zoom”, see page 13.
