Hi
Just set up the toshiba 50 hdx82. very happy with it - excellent PQ, except for standard analog cable which looks kind of pixelly. HD (cable) is amazing, DirectV is great.
My question is: how do I get a widescreen signal to actually fit on the entire screen (ie without having to select a stretch mode on the TV)? I have the Starwars Episode II: Widescreen edition (anamorphic 2:35:1). When I play it in "Natural" screen on toshiba, I get a 4:3 looking signal with side bars, and a widescreen movie within that.
Also, when I play a Widescreen LBX directv PPV movie, with the TV st to the "natual" screen setting, again I get a 4:3 screen with sidebars (which the manual recommends for 16:9). My directv rca ird picture size is set to16:9.
With both for of these examples, I have to pick "Wide Screen 1" setting, which stretches the letterbox picture out, defeating the purpose.
thanks
