format of the DCX3300 for all programs (when the 4:3 Override setting is set
Off or Stretch) or for all widescreen programs (when the 4:3 Override is set to
480i or 480p). Options include 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i, and Native. By
default, the 1080i option is selected.
The options are used as follows:
• 1080i — The DCX3300 will present programs in the High-Definition 1080i
format (1920 x 1080 pixels with interlaced scanning at 30 frames per
second).

format (1280 x 720 pixels with progressive scanning at 60 frames per
second).
• 480p — The DCX3300 will present programs in the Enhanced-Definition
480p format (720 x 480 pixels with progressive scanning at 60 frames per

format (720 x 480 pixels with interlaced scanning at 30 frames per second).

closely matches their native format according to the compatible formats
selected from the “My TV Supports The Following Formats” list (see below).
1080p 24/30 will be presented natively.
Notes:
• Some televisions may only support certain video formats. Please consult the
television’s user manual for more information on video format compatibility.
• The DCX3300 can detect when the HDMI connection is in use. If you are not
using the HDMI connection on the DCX3300, the “HDMI/YPbPr Output”
setting will display as “YPbPr Output” in the User Settings Menu.
4:3 Override The 4:3 Override setting allows you to specify the video output format of the
DCX3300 when it is tuned to a Standard-Definition program or playing back a
Standard-Definition program from the DVR. Options include 480i, 480p,
Stretch, and Off. By default, the 480i option is selected.
The options are used as follows:
• 480i — The DCX3300 will present Standard-Definition programs in the
Standard-Definition 480i format (720 x 480 pixels).
• 480p — The DCX3300 will present Standard-Definition programs in the
Enhanced-Definition 480p format (720 x 480 pixels).
• Stretch — The DCX3300 will automatically stretch all Standard-Definition
programs to a widescreen aspect ratio and present the video in the format
designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting. Note that the Stretch option
is only available when the TV Type setting is 16:9.
• Off — The DCX3300 will create a widescreen version of a Standard-Definition
program by adding black bars to the left and the right of the picture and
present the video in the format designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting.
Notes:
• Some televisions may only support certain video formats. Please consult
your television’s user manual for more information on format compatibility.
If the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting is set to either 480i or Native, the 4:3
Override feature is disabled and is no longer selectable in the menu. The 4:3
Override feature is available when the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting is 1080i,
720p, or 480p.
