Adjust the Resolution on My TV

Adjusting the resolution can solve issues with the picture display on your television. IdeaTek broadcasts in 1080i, and often times a television is factory set to receive broadcasts in a lower resolution. To adjust the resolution to the proper setting, follow the instructions below.

 Short Cut Keys for Adjusting the Resolution
On your IdeaTek remote there are a series of colored buttons: Red, Green, Yellow, and sometimes Blue. Locate the GREEN button.

 

Choose Your Model and Follow the Directions:

2721W(X)
  • Press the STB button
  • Press the GREEN button on your remote.
  • Press the corresponding number for the desired resolution
                        Number                Resolution
                            1                            480i
                            2                            480p
                            3                            720p
                            4                            1080i

Repeat this process to switch between the different options until you get the best picture. You will most likely receive the best picture if you are set on 1080i. If your TV will not set to 1080i, then try the next lowest setting, which would be 720p. Continue to work your way from biggest to smallest to find the desired resolution for your television.
