Image cropping on widescreen TV - help!
Hi. I have a Sony 28" widescreen TV and Sony DVD735 DVD player. I have noticed, in comparison to playback on my computer, that some left and right cropping of movies reproduced in 2.35:1 aspect ratio is present when viewing through my TV/DVD setup. I contacted the supplier of my DVD player and he assured me this was not a player problem. Instead, he said that many TV`s crop images in this way and that I should contact Sony about the TV. I have never heard of this before. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or can anybody give me some advice before I approach Sony?
Cheers,
Nick

Sounds like you need to go into the service menu on youtr TV (or get an engineer out to do it for you if you`re not confident) and adjust a few settings. More and more TVs seem to need this sort of tweaking until you get a perfect picture. How bad is the cropping?

Hi Rich,
Cropping is not excessive but annoying. How do I enter the service menu on my TV?

Bear might be able to help you on this one - he`s got a Sony.

Cheers mate - I`m new to the Forum - how do I get in touch with Bear?

post a new topic and put in the header `question for Bear or anyone who owns a Sony TV` might get his attention!

OK will do so, thanks for the advice.
Rich, do you know how to access the service menu?

how to get into the service menu depends on the model of the Sony tv

Its a Sony KV-28DS20. Rich informs me my remote needs a "teletext off" button to enable the correct combination (see seperate thread "Message for Bear or anyone else with a Sony TV). Unfortunately, the one supplied with it (RM 888) doesn`t have one!

I`ve got a Sony KV-28FS20. What aspect ratio do you have the TV on when you notice this cropping - "WIDE"?
Widescreen doesn`t behave as I want it to unless I tell my DVD player I have a 16:9 TV.
