Geometry problem
I just rented a DVD from Netflix with a peculiar problem. It filled the
screen of my 4:3 TV set, but all the actors were tall and skinny. The circular logo was an ellipse. IOW everything was squeezed horizontally. I have 3 DVD players and the above description fit the newest 2. On my original DVD player, 6 years old, the picture displayed properly at a 16:9 ratio with small bars above and below. What can I do to get the newer players to display properly? Thanks, Norm Strong |

In your player setup menu, ensure that TV Type is set to 4:3 Letterbox. However, if you've never seen this problem before, it may be that the disc is missing the flag to tell your player that it is anamorphic. In which case, you're a bit stuck!

Re: Geometry problem
YOu have a 4:3 set, make sure teh dvd players are configured for 4:3LB, and
not 4:3P&S or 16:9... You're a long long time poster here, this is DVD players 101, why the rookie question? <> wrote in message news:YYGdnb_g4NU_KgTenZ2dnUVZ_v-... > I just rented a DVD from Netflix with a peculiar problem.
