In Reply to: Sony 36XBR400 "16:9" mode & DVD in 16:9 don't work posted by Elizabeth on January 26, 2001 at 08:16:44:

If it's getting "double squeezed", then it's not set correctly at the DVD player, and being down converted to letterbox mode first(in the DVD player), in all likliehood. Re-check your setting in the DVD player; it should be set to 16X9 enhanced, or "anamorhpic" (used to have a Panasonic as a secondary player, but don't remember the nomenclature they use). If your XBR squeezes the picture vertically, than with 16X9 (at the dvd player)(Not LBX- LBX is downconversion mode) you should be OK.
