Video output 

The PHD-205LE Digital HDTV Tuner is able to 
receive broadcasts in any of the resolutions 
mentioned above. It can also display programs on 
TVs capable of displaying any of those resolutions. 
To set up your PHD-205LE to handle the 
combinations of incoming video formats and TV 
display capabilities, you simply set the Resolution 
Switch on the rear panel to match the highest 
resolution your TV is capable of displaying. (If you’re 
not sure about your TV’s resolution, see your TV’s 
manual for this specification.) 
PHD-205LE will then do the appropriate conversion 
from input signal format to display format.

Aspect ratio 

In addition to resolution and interlacing, HDTV is also 
defined by the aspect ratio of its broadcasts. 
Aspect ratio means the shape of the screen as 
defined by the ratio of the screen’s width to its height. 
For analog TV and SDTV, the aspect ratio is 4 units 
wide by 3 units high (usually written 4:3). 
This is familiar shape of conventional TVs----slightly 
wider than they are tall.   
For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ratio is 16:9 (nearly 
twice as wide as it is tall). 
This is, not coincidentally, more like the shape of 
movies shown in theaters. 
This makes HDTV an ideal format for broadcasting 
and viewing movies on a TV. 
But what happens if you are watching a nearly 
square-shaped 4:3 broadcast on a rectangular 16:9 
TV. The PHD-205LE Digital HDTV Tuner allows you 
to choose from a variety of screen formats to help 
you dealing with those scenarios. 
 
 
 

Screen formats 

To deal with the mismatches that can occur between 
the shapes of TVs and the aspect ratios of program 
broadcasts, the Digital HDTV Tuner provides you with 
a set of screen format controls. 
These controls allows you to pick a format to use for 
both 4:3 TVs showing 16:9 programs, and for 16:9 
TVs showing 4:3 programs. 
Here is an explanation of the options. (Details for 
setting this preference are included in page 18).
