Native Mode?

[lenjack]

I had an H20-100 and and an AT9 installed yesterday. All is well. What exactly is native mode on the H20? The so called manual is not much help. My TV is a new HD 16:9 Sharp 32" lcd. Is there a setting that will automatically provide the best quality without fiddling around?

Native sends out the signal to your display in the same format of the program.

So if the program is 720p it will auto to that; if it 1080i then that, if 480p then that. If you can live with the "stretch" of 4x3 programs, then you could set the receiver to always output 720p or 1080i; whichever you think looks best on your display. Just experiment with the output setting to determine what you like best.

Native

I keep mine set at 1080 with screen bars for 4:3 content. Reason being, when you keep it in Native, it takes several seconds to switch between HD and SD content.

I must have fast channel switching!
