On widescreen recordings I make on my Panasonic-EH85 from things like HBO HD, Starz HD, or HDnet, I get a wide screen recording, but when I play it back on a widescreen tv, I have a border all around and have to zoom. I've tried various settings, but nothing seems to work.
Is the problem my setup? I have an old 4x3 Sony 36" HD CRT set in the living room currently that my cable STB and dvd recorder are hooked to. Is the problem that my STB is set to a 4x3 tv? If set to 16x9 would this border on widescreen playback go away? What would that then do to my 4x3 picture. My bedroom tv is a 26" widescreen.
I know, I need to ditch the sony 36" CRT.
