Hi all

have just bought new wide screen set, so new to this. When playing DVD in
different ratios ie 16-9, 1.85 and 2.35 is it possible to lose black bars
top and bottom. the menu lets me set @ 4-3, auto, 16-9 and cinema but none
of these fill screen am I doing something wrong.

thanks for any helpful advice.

Oh dear. If the movie is wider than 16:9 eg 2.35:1 you will get black bars
and they are supposed to be there! If you stretch the screen to lose them
the aspect ratio will be wrong.

Regards,
Gary
