First off I have to say the picture from this thing is awesome. I do have a question which I hope you can help me out with though.


I have my RP-91 DVD player set to 16:9 screen and to LCD projector. I'm using and tried "both" interlaced and progressive component connection; however, it looks as if the image is being window boxed. You can clearly tell that the projector is sending out an image (like the black bars on a 2.35:1 wide screen movie that extends 7-8" beyond the boundary of a 16:9 image ALL AROUND.


Anyhow I did'nt have a whole lot of time to play around with it last night. Visual Apex told me to check it out when I got it to make sure everything is working properly, so that was my main purpose of last nights viewing.


Any help here would be great. I know the picture from the movie should be extended all the way to the edge on a 16:9 aspect movie like toy story or monsters inc but like I said its leaving 6-8" of black projected boarder all around the movie image.


Please read my most current post to this thread reagarding the Bravo before responding. Thanks.

Have you set the projector to 16-9 mode or s16-9 ? S16-9 leaves a black boardes all around the movie ( i dont now why ) but if you have it in 16-9 mode it will fill your screen !

So try to play a little with the aspect button on your remote

I thought I had gone through the aspects but I may have just stopped on the first 16:9 ratio I came across. I'll check it out tonight and let you know it that helps. Thanks for the help is very much appreciated.

Hi,



I have the PT-L300u and it sounds like you have yours set to S16:9 aspect setting. It should be set to just plain 16:9.






Enjoy!

Thanks guys. You were right, I had it on 16:9s after switching to 16:9 it was perfect and made watching a movie much more pleasurable.

Okay, here we go again. Now I have a Bravo D1 and I'm encountering the same issue the catch is that while using the Bravo with DVI you cannot change the aspect through the projector. So while watching a 16:9 movie I still get a 2" border outside of my screen area. Is this normal? If not do you have a recommended fix?

 

[whphel]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention. I have updeted the firmware and punched in the values for 768 and the projector shows that it is in fact 768.

Totally off topic, but how is the picture quality using the D1 vs. the RP91? I have an RP91 and thought the picture quality was fairly poor with my 300u and ended up using an HTPC. Just wondering if the D1 looks significantly better?

whphel,

make sure that you're also setting the bravo at 16x9. some dvds will still have the borders but that's because of how they were made (aspect ratio).

eg: spiderman is 1.85:1, lotr is 2.35:1. otherwise you're good to go as long as both bravo and l300u is set to 16x9.
