How do I reset the 52" TV to original settings. Screen is on Widescreen permanently

Tries tv and Bose audio system unplug,replug it back like an hour later.Both systems now,should be resetting itself back to the factory setting.Should work normal now.If still have the same problems.The tv Tuner signal board is having problems and dying.

This set uses a lamp ( not picture tubes ) The part # is TS-CL110U. Almost certainly it is bad. They are easily obtainable and you can easily change it yourself.

Do you still have the original remote? If so there is a button that says "Pix shape" that will change your aspect ratio for you. If you are watching something in HD it should say "full". If it is analog it will say "normal" in 4x3 format. If you want it stretch hit it till it says "zoom 1" or "zoom 2". If you don't have the original remote I am not sure how you would change it. You can find them on ebay if you need one. Hope this helps.

If you have the following symptoms check the site www.TvRepairKits.com . They have a repair kit for this problem. 


Screen shrinks and expands - may or may not correct itself after the TV warms up.

After a few days, weeks, or months of having the shrinking/expanding problem you may loose all audio/video but the power light will remain lit!

I think what you're talking about is the feature of the TV that auto-adjusts the screen for different pictures. What is does is tries to auto-fill the screen in case there are black bars on top (because of widescreen content) or on the side (regular tv content). It does it mistakenly if it notices too much black anywhere... happens a lot to me when credits are rolling. You can turn this off in your TV settings... I think you just set it to a specific type (widescreen, etc) instead of "auto".

Use the menu key on the set it has a size selection in the menu set it on widescreen or 16:9 I suggest buying a new original remote as even a new RCA universal remote may not have the ZOOM or aspect control on them.

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.

the original image size was probably recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio...meaning your widescreen is a 16:9 ratio size screen and is stretching it outwards to fill the whole screen. If you want the image to look normal.. ie. not short and fat people.... you need to change the picture size in the settings from widescreen 16:9 to normal 4:3 tv in the settings menu most likely...Also most remotes will/should have a button for that.

I suspect you originally had an intermittent solder connection on the convergence circuit board. This may have damaged the convergence IC's on that board by now if repairing those connections doesn't fix the set.
