Formating My remote is broken how would I change the format without it?

What do you mean by format?

You can't do it without its remote control.

Its picture settings should be adjusted. Now it is set to 'wide' format I assumes. If you want to get full screen, the display format should be chaged. Without a remote control, it is not possible.

How did this start? you need the remote to change the settings in the first place, somebody used it to change the settings! Have you tried using the dish remote, did you change the format on dish? there is a place on the remote that changes the format from the sat signal also, should be a yellow bar below the live TV button. This is the way mine is set up but on other remotes there is still a button to change the format, look on the dish remote for this.

This formatting issue can commonly be corrected by simply pressing the (*) button on your remote this button is also known as the format button and is located in the bottom left corner of the remote, which is also to the left of the zero button. You can change the formatting of the tv picture by pressing the star/format button until the format is corrected. I hope this helps!

If your projection TV has some hard buttons on it, then you should be able to get into the menus using the hard buttons, and that MAY allow you to change the picture format, but in all honesty it sounds like you'll want to find a remote for that TV in order to quickly change the format.

Set the screen format using your TV's menu. Do not set the format of the screen using your provider's receiver. I had this prob with a few channels with a dish provider when I set the format with the remote from the dish provider. I picked up the TV's remote, went into the menu, set the format, problem fixed.

You are going to need an original Mitsubishi remote--I do not think in the main menu there is a way to do this without the remote: PART NUMBER FOR THIS REMOTE IS: 290P111010


Almost any Mitsubishi remote that has the FORMAT button on it will work.

Unfortunately, most of these projection TV's require a remote. You CAN purchase an aftermarket remote. I would look for one that has all the features you need, PIP, screen format etc.... I have found that the Sony RM-VL600 works real well with my Mitsubishi TV... kids thrashed the remotes more than once...
This particular unit has system control PROGRAMABLE buttons on the bottom row. I've been able to program them for formatting the screen, setting audio and video... Solved my issue of needing a factory remote... KEN

there is a button on the remote labeled FORMAT it is on the bottom half of the remote. it will change picture size i.e. STRECH STANDARD WIDE WIDE ZOOM etc.
