Set DEL2320DL to widescreen - LG RZ-20LA70 20 in. LCD Television

Ensure that the HDTV portion of the setup is 'enabled'.

On the DVD recorder remote: press function menu button: enter setup screen - scroll down to connection - TV aspect - select either 16:9 / 4:3 Letterbox / 4:3 Pan&scan. If you are using an older TV which is not a widescreen, set the aspect to '4:3 Letterbox'.

You should now be able to view your DVD movies from this machine through a 4:3 standard TV in letterbox format. (some DVDs do not allow pan&scan so letterbox or widescreen is recommended). Very rare that a DVD title is not compatible with 4:3 TVs. I assume your deck is set to output 16:9 aspect by default.

I find this is the cheapest and easiest solution and can save lots of dollars in service call-outs. You can always reset the unit back to shipping condition later if you need to, or in the rare case of digital channels disappearing from your tuner memory.

Set it in program mode. Set sharpness and color to vivid. The movie mode is quite good on this unit with good mono audio. Color quality in movie mode is quite nice. Set it for 16X9 widescreen if you have a widescreen television. I advise shooting in widescreen all videos anyway. You can find pics from this camera on http://www.kelsci5.blogspot.com.

Keep in mind that not all programs and show are in widescreen format. When set to normal, you will get those black bars on the sides because the program is sized for the older TV's. Some TV's will have a zoom option, but that will cut off some of the top and the bottom of your picture.

Until everything goes widescreen, you are stuck in normal with those black bars or widescreen with the fat people.

I hate distortion in my TV image, so I am perfectly fine with my TV on normal.

Good luck.

If the image is tall and thin, then you've likely got your TV set to widescreen mode when it's not a widescreen TV. In your TV's menu, there should be an option to change between widescreen and normal, or one called "Aspect Ratio" and it'll give options like 16:9 and 4:3, change that to 4:3 if that's the option it gives you.

have you set the dvd to widescreen? i know some change automatically when there is widescreen input but some need to be changed manually. This should be in system settings. hope this helps

VP6320 is not a wide screen projector. It is formatted for 4X3. If you send 16X9, it will crop part of the picture.

Unfortunately, a cinema screen is even wider than a widescreen TV. Because of this (in order to keep the original aspect ratio), even with a widescreen TV you still end up with the black bars top and bottom.

Check the aspect ratio of the DVD (Should be printed on the back of the case somewhere).

Unless it says 1.85:1 or 16:9 Anamorphic, you will get the black bars. (Many films on DVD are 2.35:1 or even wider!)

Have you got any different picture modes on your TV. I've got a Toshiba and it has something called 'cinema mode' which does eliminate the bars. Unfortunately it does it by zooming in on the picture slightly, so you loose a bit off the side of the picture and the image does get a little grainier.

Hope this helps.

THERE IS REALLY NOTHING YOU CAN DO as your settings conflict with each unit connected

I have the same problem. Go to the set up menu and go to display and select another display setting then set it back then exit menu. It should work then
