Setting up Explorer HD boxes to support a variety of picture formats allows you to toggle among the settings you have chosen while watching TV. You can also
select the setting that provides the best picture quality for the format currently being broadcast.

There are three ways you can select picture formats for your HDTV. The Explorer HD Setup Wizard guides you through each one:

? The Quick Setup method, which automatically selects a setting according to the screen type:
- For a standard-screen (4:3) HDTV, the Wizard selects 480i.
- For a wide-screen (16:9) HDTV, the Wizard selects 1080i.
? The Standard Setup method, which selects the settings 480i and 1080i.
You can then toggle between these two settings while watching TV.
? The Custom Setup method, which allows you to select any combination of
the following picture formats that the 8000HD supports:
- 480p (wide and standard)
- 480i (wide and standard)
- 720p (wide only)
- 1080i (wide only)
