Adjust the aspect ratio of your television/projector/display. You are likely zoomed in causing the edges of the image from the DMP-BD70V to be pushed off screen. If you test this against other sources, e.g. cable/satellite television, or computer, you should notice graphics close to the edges of the display being cut off. If other sources display correctly consult the DMP-BD70V manual for aspect ratio settings. Look for "Aspect", "Zoom", "Normal", "Letterbox", "16:9", "4:3" keyword when researching this issue further. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any additional information concerning the issue. Thanks Adjust the aspect ratio of your television/projector/display.

Like others have mentioned, it may be a firmware issue if you have never updated. The manual explains two ways to update it. Hope this helps.

Maybe un plug for a while and then start it up from scratch again! Then update on line from Panasonic. May also be a glitch from settings, so might have to be reset to factory settings! Let me what happens!

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

This is a major oversight. Unless there is a firmware update available, this means that anyone using an HDMI or DVI signal from a set top box will not be able to see undistorted, (unstretched), SD. I don't know how this could pass Sony QA.

Hi Nicole, its been a while since I looked into this but my recollection was this was basically the same unit. However, I must say I am totally disappointed in the unit. The sound isn't great, coming from 4 small plastic speakers. And worse, after a few months the screen on my tv went into shades of purple, and then within a few days went completely purple. When I switched source to the bluray player, the screen wasn't purple anymore...it went blue! The sound came through but couldn't see the picture. I disconnected the system and all went back to normal. Beware!

I have a Panasonic Blue Ray dmp-br601 playera and a 40" BRAVIA Pro Display KDL40S5100/9 TV. I just purchased the Panasonic. The BR601 will play back a Blue Ray disc properly both video and audio wise. When I play a non Blue Ray disc the audio will drop out every 5 or 10 minutes throughout the entire program. It will then fade in about 30 to 45 seconds later. Very annoying. There seems to be a little bit of audio noise just before the audio drops out. The non Blue Ray disc video will continue to play with no noticable degradation. Hopefully it's just a simple paramater selection in setup? Anybody have any ideas. Thanks.

Are you trying to replace the display or the whole thing. If you are trying to replace the player email me at skydart82@yahoo.com I have this and no longer use it

it was plug and play for me, no issues at all for the last 6months+. I'd say just keep exchanging the unit, or look for different seller with a different batch; and also make sure that your LCD cable is really securely connected to the panel, and that it hasn't been damaged from disassembling in the first place.

I won't be of much help. I inherited the DVD/VCR sans remote because a roommate couldn't pay rent and I wanted to stay seated while I enjoyed his stuff. I just sat on Google until I found what I hoped would work. It was a total fingers-crossed transaction.

Thanks Richard! I called Panasonic and they walked me through a re-set. All I had to do then was log in and all was fine! Don't you HATE it when your electronics don't work?

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can get the menu to display (the DMPort menu), but no video or pictures.Interested in any feedback from anyone who has tried this.

I suggest you contact Amazon right away! Inform them of your problem & they should refund your full purchase. They did for me & told me to just keep the product or throw it out.If you still want to convert your old videos, I'd suggest checking the Honestech VHS to DVD package. I eventually went with it from Amazon. Unfortunately you just missed a Gold Box deal a few days ago, but it's the best & easiest to use that I could find. Even at regular price it;s still a good deal. Good Luck & repost when you succeed. Mike

You can use a hacked firmware from http://www.pioneerfaq.info/english/dv400.php?player=DV-400V&question=Firmwares -- it will possibly invalidate your warranty, but I'm watching a British DVD (R2) on mine at the moment with the hacked firmware.
