Referencing my new Panasonic HT-50XX60U Plasma set...
My picture on HD channels seems to have streched horizontally a bit. Yesterday, when i first set it up, i could see the HDNet and Discovery HD logos in the lower right corner in their proper place and fully visible and all images appeared to be in their proper aspect ratios. The same could be said for earlier today.Well, all of a sudden tonight while viewing the screen seemed to stretch out a bit. This occurs in all modes, specifically in the FULL Aspect mode, which should be the proper ARatio for channels such as HDNet and DiscHD. The faces appear stretched and the clincher was when i saw the logos appear again in the lower right hand corner. This time 1/2 to 1/3 of the logo is off of the screen. I tried all ARatios and i get the same "stretchy" effect. Is this my cable provider screwing up(Charter) or is it something with the set?
Follow Ups:
Try setting your Panny's setting to "normal" and adjust your cable box's remote's aspect ratio button and see if one of the setting there will bring back the correct aspect ratio.
Late last night right after posting i went in and messed with the Video Source button and a button that nas no text on it that is right next to it and suddenly the picture corrected itself. I was to sleepy to figure what i did so i need to do that after i wake up here. I read on another forum that the SA8300HD remote has a Zoom button. Maybe that's what the blank button was?
OK, something new...
When i access the cable box menu via remote the aspect ratio in the background on plasma corrects itself. I went into tew cable box menu with remote. When the cable box menu is up, whcih covers about 1/3 of screen, the picture on plasma actually goes back to normal aspect ratio. I know becuase i see all of the HDNet logo. And it turns out a am missing about 1/2 the logo when ARatio is off. Then when i exit the cable box menu it stretches back out.
is the Picture Mode setting, or whatever, where the options are Vivid, Cinema and Normal.
I am not aware of my cable box having those options. Seems like it shoud, but they told me to keep uing the same remote i was using for the SD cable box.
My Motorola cable box has its own menu for format settings that caused me some conflict problems on my Pioneer hdtv until I discovered it. On the Motorola, its accessed by pressing "menu" on the remote with the box OFF and the tv ON with the box input selected.
