Help! How do I change Moto 6412 output to 720p ?

gdog2004 · 07-09-06, 03:57 PM

After searching pages of threads I cant seem to find this info. I have a RCN morotola 6412 Phase 3 dvr box. I want to change the output from 1080i to 720p.
How exactly do I do this ? My lcdtv has a native resolution of 720p. Any help would be appreciated.

With your remote turn the box off. Press the menu button. Change your output to 720P. turn the box back on.

How can I change my setting back to regular 480 standard? I just have a regular Sony SDTV and while playing around with the video output settings on my RCN box, I made it 1080i and now I can't see any of the menus. I can see the video from the channels, but I can't see anything else (like info, guide, menu).

BTW, when I press menu or even select twice after turning off my box, I don't get anything on the screen (which is probably because the display setting is wrong for my tv)

OR an even better solution for me would be to put it back how it used to be, where I can see the menus fine on all of the SD channels, but on the HD channels I can't see the menus, but I could see the video - with black bars on the bottom on top, that is how it works now - but with the 480 standard setting it would be stretched (or zoomed?) to fit my tv

Never mind, I figured it out.

I used the information here: en [dot] wikibooks [dot] org/wiki/How_to_use_a_Motorola_DVR/Setup to find out that I can access the different options of the box's menu. But since I have RCN I had to press menu twice after turning off the power to access the menu - when I did access it I saw that it said 16:9, then when I pressed down (on the box itself) it said like YPbPr out, and by pressing the right button I was able to select 480i and then the menu showed up (and everything else worked fine). I also selected 4:3 letterbox on the first menu item (TV Type) so that the HDTV channels show up in letterbox format instead of zoomed in on my tv.
