Not absolutely sure, but I think your XBR400 is the USA equivelant of my Sony 36FS70. If this is the case, you can set each of the inputs to automatically detect whether the incoming signal is widescreen (16x9) or 4x3. I use this with both DVD and SAT for convienience. If its the same its on the fourth menu down, go to the scart input setup and you can spec whether it is fully automatic mode select or not. Another tip, that you may or may not be using, is to set AV2 to RGB and use the RGB output from your DVD. This makes a real improvement to pic quality. Its without doubt the best CRT set I've ever seen.
Dan, my best friend has the 36" Panasonic, and the picture is not in the same class IMHO.

The Sony XBR400 doesn't have what must be a nice feature!,no RGB inputs settings. and the menus don't "stick" to each input, unfortunately!

  Thats a real pity. IMHO the Sony 36FS70 is the best CRT I have ever seen. Obviously its not HDTV but transmissions for that probably won't start here for another 10 years so I'm not worried.
  The RGB on Sat and DVD is stunning, and the set features a nice line doubling feature that dummies up the res on 525 PAL. I'm very happy needless to say!
