We have an tx 28 pl 10 panasonic tv, and the picture size is all wrong, it is zoomed so we can only see half the people or text on screen, an I cannot get it back to the right size ??

Adjust the aspect ratio of the picture. Refer its user manual for more details. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Hi

First make sure your Panasonic has 16:9 TV mode selected within its menu. Then try chainging the picture size on your TV. You didn't say what model TV you have. On my Samsung you would press the menu key then select picture, scroll down and select picture size. From hear you can select 16:9, wide zoom, zoom, 4:3. Try looking for picture size and selecting 16:9 on your TV.

Change the aspect ratio on the remote. If this does not fix, change the aspect ratio on your cable or sat box.

Hi,

The most likely cause of this is that you have accidentally changed the screen aspect ratio. There should be a button on the Panasonic remote marked "ASPECT". With the TV switched on, try pressing the "ASPECT" button repeatedly until the picture either returns to the correct size or you are unsuccessful and cycle back to the original picture size.

You will probably find that you are currently on one of the "ZOOM" settings. The correct setting should either be "AUTO" or "16:9".

If this does not solve your problem, please post back for further assistance. If you are using another receiving device, e.g. a Sky / FreeSat or Freeview box, it is also possible that you need to change the ratio setting of the receiving equipment. Please let me know the details of any additional receiving equipment you are using if/when replying.

The main coupling capacitor feeding the frame scan coils has failed or the output stage on the frame stage has failed due to dry capacitors or dry joints.
Fault finding and components are not a problem and yes it is very repairable. Any technician that knows how television works can repair this standard frame output stage.
I hope you find a good technician.

Hello,

what was pressed on the remote is "Zoom" button, that's why the picture size is large.

So try to identify the Zoom button on your remote by pressing every button on your remote in order to get the zoom button function.

I hope you understand my message.

Good luck.

You can try and reset the tv. Look at

Hi.

Try looking in the menu under PICTURE. see if there is picture size adjustment for picture size eg 16 x 9 4 x 3 normal wide.

Dear RyanVa21;
Try changing the picture size with your set's remote, press the aspect ratio button. The remote must be the original Panasonic remote.
Please let me know if that did it.

Thanks!
Richard

Can you go into menu and turn off autoformat?
