When I view 4:3 material in the 16:9 mode I have a small grey-black strip (1 to 1.5" on my 56" TV) just to the right of the 4:3 material but before the 16:9 "columns" start. It seems to be there on all of my 4:3 disks but is more obvious on some than others.
I am watching in RP-91 in progressive mode and my TV is a Toshiba 16:9 and I have it in full. The RP-91 is in auto mode for selecting so it scales the 4:3 to a 16:9 by adding the "columns" on both sides.
I have tried to fix using the shift function by holding the joystick on the remote to the right and hitting the buttons on the player. However, the entire image including the "columns" shifts to the right and the 1-1.5" strip moves but stays the same size.
I acutally downloaded the latest 236 firmware that you can get to from one of this forums threads - burned the image using nero and updated my player. No difference - the strip is still there.
If I set the player to 4:3 and then use the aspect ratio control on the TV - I do not get the strip. However, this could just be due to the overscan that I have on my TV.
As a side note, when I'm in progressive mode, in the same location where you set the mode to N,S,C, or U. There is a shift adjustment. I have not been able to get that shift function to do anything - It always stays at 0 (zero). I can't figure out the key strokes to change it and even if I did manage to change it - I don't know if this would fix the issue - aka shift the 4:3 image with in the 16:9 "collums" to get rid of the strip.
(Edit - I checked the manual [Gasp] and the shift is a vertical shift that only works when in progressive and watching a leterbox film in zoom mode. The shift is there so you can move the picture up to see the subtitles. So - a red herring on my part...)
1. Anyone else see this?
2. Anyone know how to fix it?
3. Anyone know what the shift function does in the progressive section where you set N,S,C,U? (Edit - Answered Above.)
BTW - I did a search and turned up nothing. Not to say it isn't in the forum somewhere - just that I didn't find it......
