I have read multiple threads concerning the 16:9 mode on 4:3 tv's. I am in possession of a Panny PT-51HX42 HDTV, and a Sony DVP-C670D DVD Player (Not Prog. Scan). I have it connected to the TV via a Component Video Cable. For some reason I can not select the 16:9 mode on the TV, and my question is as follows:
Do I have to have a Progressive Scan DVD player to use the 16:9 mode on the TV?
As it is right now, the DVD Player, in the set-up menu has 3 modes: 4:3 Letter, 4:3 P&S, 16:9/4:3 Wide Mode. When I select the 16:9 Mode in DVD Player, I get the stretched looking image, but the TV does not allow me to switch the Aspect Ratio to the 16:9 setting. It just displays the entire image over 4:3 screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
