Benq PE 8700 installation questions

243 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  Alan Gouger
I am using a 58x104 HDTV format screen. When I use the test pattern, the pattern fills the screen exactly. But when I switch to a HD channel on dish, I get black bars on the sides(about 1.5 inches wide on each side).

I am feeding it a 720P signal through the progressive component input and the projector is set to anamorphic mode.


Also, if I set the projector to pass through mode, I get a sideways squished picture in the middle of the screen.


Similarly, when use my bravo d1 player, if I play an anamorphic disc, I get black bars on the side(about 1 inch wide).

The player is set to output 720p and the projector is set to wide mode. Passthrough mode again gives a horizontally squished picture.


I would appreciate any help in resolving these issues.

Ive had the same thing happen using Direct with other projectors ( I do not have the b q) and found I had to re set to a different refresh in the menu. I dont think the dish receiver gives you that option.

I wonder if its related to the same thing.
