Question about Hitachi 55HDT51 55 in. HD-Ready Plasma Television
I have a Hitachi 55HDT51 that I recently moved. After hooking up the cable box, of the 55 inches of screen, the picture is only about 42 inches. I have tried every type of cable from box to AVC unit, I have set the settings properly on the cable box. I have taken the AVC for repair and they assure me nothing is wrong. When I unplugged everything and started again, I momentarily had almost a full screen with about 4 inches on right side of screen that had blue, red, pink lines; however, no sound! After trying to go through settings, the TV "switched" back to the smaller screen version. I have tried every aspect, etc. I have a suspicion I am missing something simple, but have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions? (Oh, the cable box DOES have DVR, is this possible issue?)
Try connecting just the cable to the TV and bypass the cable box. If you get a full screen and the "ASPECT" button on the remote gives you full operation then either you need to change the output on the cable box to 16:9 output at 1080i resolution (because it sounds like the box is putting out a 4:3 screen size)or in your customer menus on the TV, I believe there is a "AUTO ASPECT" selection? If there is and it is activated then turn hat off. Having DVR won't effect the screen size. It just means the cable box has a hard drive built in to it.
