Well if your telly is a widescreen yes set it for 16:9, but if not I would not have thought you would need to be touching any settings, any adjustments should happen automatically, but I may be wrong | |||

Not sure if it is a bug as I have never seen anything reported before, how is the DM connected to the tv firstly. What resolution of input is the TV expecting? Is the TV set to upscale. The DM can only output SD perhaps it is the TV that is not sensing the output correctly. What is the DM like on another TV? What else have you got connected to the TV and is that working OK? | ||
