I've run into my first problem with my Hitachi 5500. I want to take advantage of the two RBG inputs. I have been running my Dish 6000 and AccessDTV at 1080i, component. I've tried hooking both to the 5500 RGB ports and specifying 1080i, RGB. In both cases, a 4:3 image which should have the vertical black bars on the sides is stretched out to fill the 16:9 screen. The bars are there as they should be fine in component mode. I can also overcome the problem by setting the 6000 and the AccessDTV to 720p, RGB, but I'd rather not do that.


Any ideas?

Have you tried changing the aspect ratio? (1st menu, bottom row)?

Vas - Yes, I tried all three. When viewing a station that is not broadcasting HD 16:9, just digital, 4:3, there should be black vertical bars regardless of the aspect ratio setting. They're missing with 1080i, RGB and there with all other resolutions and component. I've got a call into Projector People. They're trying to contact Hitachi. Is there any 5500 owner out there with AccessDTV or a Dish 6000 who has 1080i, RGB working properly?

I have a Dish 6000 and 1080i and RGB works fine. Make sure you have selected 16:9 on the Dish 6000 HDTV setup menu.
