Toshiba 56HM195 - "Auto Aspect Ratio" feature (1 Viewer)

[Greg Lovern]

I've just picked up a used Toshiba 56HM195. It has a "Auto Aspect Ratio" feature (page 74 of the owner's manual), which when enabled should display windowboxed (black bars on all four sides) 4:3 images in "TheaterWide 2" display mode, which zooms in to eliminate the windowboxing.

We have some SD recordings on our TivoHD. The Tivo is connected to a Component switcher, and the switcher is connected to one of the sets of Component inputs on the TV.

Enabling the TV's "Auto Aspect Ratio" feature does *not* make the windowboxed Tivo 4:3 images display in "TheaterWide 2" (zoomed) mode. Instead it still displays in "Natural" mode and so is still windowboxed.

Any idea what the problem is?


Thanks,

Greg

Is the signal 480i? The manual says that that's the only input signal type that works on non-HDMI.

Ah, thanks. I see that now.
