Can this remote change the aspect ratio on a TV? My kids lost our native remotes and we are not able to change the aspect ratio without them.

I haven't tried aspect yet on my remote but I have found that this remote covers all commands that I need. I do enter Settings with this so I assume it does what you want. Jeff

There is a button that says aspect. It would largely depend on the programing of the remote.

yes you can adjust it by going into your menu and adjusting the screen size. I will try and right down exact details of how to do it tomorrow when I can give you exact details on how. If not just play around and do some adjusting and fixing. if something does not work change it back. you need to play with it a little in order to understand it and get things the way you want them.

I found that orientation of the buttons was upside down from my old remote. Once I changed it, it worked

You have probably done this by now. On your remote go to the "Format" button just below and to the right of the power button. Once you press the format button you will see four options. I like the wide screen. Zoom is pretty cool too.

I am not sure about that, but the remote worked better than my original remote that came with the tv. I would ask the seller that question. It may even show in the details section of the product or call vizio. Good luck

ATT cable box - under settings menu, there is an option to change the aspect ratio, try if that helps.

I have a 6 series tv and the soundbar remote works for the tv, but not the other way around, so I just use the soundbar remote bc it can change channels and volume (for both soundbar and tv) plus view tv channel info and has a previous channel shortcut button. I really like the soundbar remote because it has a MUCH better range, even using it to change tv channels, then the Samsung TV remote. Oh, my soundbar is hooked up via optical.

I would definitely advise against it. I bought this unit and immediately returned it. My TV is the same size as yours. I would suggest the Convenience Concepts R5-123. I get that as a replacement and it is a far superior unit.

whatever was on my computer monitor is how it showed on the tv (55 inch led). there is a format button on my remote that allows me to change the ratio on the tv though. but hasn't been needed using this.

I don't know...why not call VIZIO? I have a 60 inch and I do love the remote!

Jennifer D.: In case you still have this problem, below are the steps of a workaround that worked for me, and hopefully will work for you too. It appears that the key step is to temporarily configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. I found this after trying to debug a similar very frustrating problem with my Toshiba DR430 DVD recorder and Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. 1. Disconnect the HDMI cable from the DVR to the TV. (Note that the only way my Scientific Atlanta DVR would enter the standard-definition setup wizard in step 2 below was with this cable disconnected. Originally, I did not disconnect this cable, and I suspect that as long as the DVR thought it was outputting a picture to an HDTV that it would override other configuration settings that I made.) 2. Configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. (As per the user manual for my Scientific Atlanta DVR, start this process by simultaneously pressing the "INFO" and "GUIDE" buttons on the DVR while it is turned off. This was pretty easy to change and then undo later.) 3. In the DVR "Settings," set the "Picture Size" option to "Auto Fit." (It is also possible to quickly set this by repeatedly pressing the "#" key on the remote control.) 4. At this point, the aspect ratio in the DVD recorder was FINALLY correct and there were no bordering black bars. Hurray! Record shows onto DVDs as desired. 5. When I play a recorded DVD on the Toshiba unit the aspect ratio is correct and there are no bordering black bars. However, when I play a DVD on my Panasonic Blu-ray player, I have to set the aspect ratio on my Panasonic TC-P50VT20 Plasma HDTV to "JUST" to horizontally stretch the picture, but this is a very simple adjustment that is easy to change. Hopefully you can perform similar steps to workaround this annoying problem. Ron

Whether you can even do this will depend on whether or not your television and original remote support this function. If they do, then you must train your Sony by its learning function to do this. If either the television or the remote DO NOT support this function you WILL NOT be able to do this.

I am surprised anyone is asking about this unit- I purchased mine many years ago and presumed this is no longer sold. But to try to answer your question, I have not used mine in years and it is packed away in some unknown place. Memory will not serve here, but I did find the manual. It states that you can set the tv aspect to 4:3 letterbox, 4:3 pan and scan or 16:9 wide. So it appears it will set to widescreen mode without stretching or letterboxing. If you want to double check with the manufacturer, the hotline number they list on the manual is 1-888-PHILIPS (1-888-744-5477). Good luck.

I gave the unit to a friend last Christmas. As I recall, there was a button on the remote (aspect ratio maybe??) that changed how the picture filled the screen. May have to hit it several times to get proper proportions.

hi okay what I notice is you cannot change channels and both TVs what I did was I bought a pyramid which allows me to point the remote control to the receiver without it being in the room and it will change channels I have in my master bedroom the sender And In my kitchen I have the receiver those are the two small boxes that come In the transmitter packageso the signal is coming from My master bedroom to the kitchen television the pyramid connects To the satellite or cable box the pyramid expand the range of the remote control

It depends upon the signal, or seems to. There is an option for it, but it does not seem to work well, or at all, on some shows. It will not make every 2D show into a 3D one.

Yes, you just change it to the one that you want. This remote actually works better than the one that came with my system!
