Component ... Input# 5 .. Actualy im using a non prog-scan jvc right now , tried using a cheapo prog scan with same problem , either tv uses strech modes or there are still small black bars top and bottom
The great majority of movies on DVD are recorded in a 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio, so they are not the same aspect ratio as your 1.78:1 (16x9) display. About the only 1.78:1 material you are going to get is from HDTV, which is transmitted in 16x9.When the DVDs refer to being Enhanced for 16x9 Displays , they really mean that the DVDs are anamorphic -- not 1.78:1.
However, since 1.85:1 movies are pretty close to 1.78:1, your Sony should have a mode that slightly zooms the picture to make it fill the screen. You'll lose a bit off the sides, but not too much.
On my 51" Hi Def wide screen SONY RPTV:1. The "zoom" mode is used for letterboxed laserdiscs and nan-
anamoprphic DVDs.2. The "full" mode is used for ananmorphic DVDs.
3. I use "normal" for 1.33 movies and broadcasts.
4. I have no use for "wide zoom".
Thanks for the info .. great help
