Anybody own this set? I've had it for about a year, and I really like the picture. However...I've tried playing a progressive-scan DVD through the set's component inputs, and all I get is a vertically "squashed" picture, something like a severe letterbox. The aspect ratio control on the set doesn't work in this mode, only when you input composite video.
I've also tried running the signal from a DVDO iScan Pro through the set--same results.
I had a local RCA service technician come out and look at the set. He contacted the factory, who were absolutely no help (any surprise there?). He tried replacing one of the circuit boards, thinking that it might be defective, but no help. Luckily all of this was covered under warranty.
Right now, all I can do is run composite video into the set's composite video input, which is then line-doubled internally. But since the set has no 3-to-2 cinema pulldown, the resulting image has a lot of "jaggies." Short of buying a $3000 video scaler, are there any suggestions on how to solve this?
Follow Ups:
Does your DVDp know you're using a 16:9 display? Squished on preogressive usually means an error in the set-up slection on the player.
This set should work fine with p-scan DVD- if you still have problem after shecking set up, go post at avsforum.com or hometheater.com - someone at one of those sites will find a cure I'm sure.
Harmonia may be on to something, is your dvd player set to output 16:9 or 4:3? That may be the problem
None of the settings in the set-up menus seems to make a difference, and I've tried them all many times. Even the RCA tech couldn't get it to work!But I will definitely check out those forums. Thanks!
I've got the 38310 and am using a Toshiba SD9200 and the component inputs and have no problems. Good luck
Thanks for the reply! So you're saying that you run a progressive scan signal into the RCA and you are able to watch letterboxed DVDs in the proper aspect ration, without any vertical squashing?
YES!!! I've never had any vertical squashing. I wish I could help you out or at least come see what's going on with your TV. Good Luck
