Does it play in 4:3 aspect ratio?? I can't find the setting to change it! I have an old tube tv.

Yes, at the opening screen of the DVD620, select setup, then at the next screen select "Display". You will see two 4:3 choices at the top . Just check the box that looks best on your set. Hope that helps.Frankhypernez

Go into Resolution Setup screen and check the 490i or 480P then go back to Display and the 480 format boxes will be darkened.

I really can't answer that question as I bought the machine as a gift for someone else.

You can go into the settings and select the aspect ratio. Make sure it's updated to the most current firmware.

I have no idea. But I would suggest not grttra blu-ray player if you don't have a high def TV. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I don't know. I have used it frequently, but all of the DVD's I played on it were the new 16:9 aspect ratio, and that is what my new LG TV handles well. HOWEVER, I expect that your Blu-Ray player will play the 4:3 ratio. Just check your manual for instructions.. Usually the players automatically sense the format of the disc it is playing. I do know that it plays older DVD's [not only Blu-ray]. Thus, it must be able to adjust the format to 4:3 when necessary.

Go to page 27 in the downloaded .pdf owners manual. Go to the setup menu, select display, select tv aspect ratio, then select 4:3 Letter Box.

That I'm not really sure about. I've just been using it for its mp3 capability. I think you can also use it for a dvd, but I'm not sure of the screen aspect ratio.

I've found that with upconverting machines, if you are playing back in the 720P/1080I/1080P modes the 4:3/letterboxed image will be "stretched". You need to reset the playback to 480i or 480p for these images. I have four such machines of different manufacturers and they all work this way. My HD-DVD and Blu-ray machines, though, do play 4:3/letterboxed images in the correct ratio format, even when I'm set to the hi-def modes. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes it does. Some channels only have the regular tv format. If the channel you are watching only broadcasts in that format then it con only be shown that way. Push the picture button on the remote then push the picture size to 16.9 aspect ration arrow up 2 postitons then left or right cursor.

I wish I could give you an answer on how to adjust, but I was so disappointed with the wobbly stand and POOR picture, I sent my TV back for a refund within 24 hours of hooking it up! Best of luck.

I checked the manual for you to be sure. The Blu-Ray player has at least 3 settings affecting aspect ratio. TV Type lets you select 16:9 or 4:3 depending on the physical design of your TV. Screen Format is the one you are most interested in, which has Full and Normal options. Normal will adjust the output to the original format, while Full will stretch a 4:3 image to fill a 16:9 display. Then there is DVD Aspect Ratio which is similar to the Zoom function on many HDTVs (letter box vs. zoom in which will cut off the sides).

Yes, you just switch it to 2d on your tv, looks amazing in 2d as well, was watching this yesterday and tested it.

Yes it will stretch 4:3 ratio to fill the entire screen. I still have to watch all my old T.V. shows on my Panasonic DVD Player because of this. Many are hoping that Toshiba will issue a firmware upgrade to resolve this problem, but none has been forthcoming that I'm aware of.

I have a Sony DVD player and this happened to me on a DVD I made from an old film - I solved the problem by NOT upscaling the picture to 16:9 but keeping it at the original 4:3 format.I isolated the problem to my player when I watched the DVD on my PC - it never got out of sync there...

Check the aspect ratio of your computer. If its too high, the tv won't recognize it. My tv will say "unsupported" if its above 1280x768. If ur usings windows (I currently have windows 7), go into the start menu then control panel. Under appearance and temems on right side of screen click on "adjust screen resolution." Change it to 1280x768 or below. I hope this helps.

There are picture "mode" settings under the main menu. Some of the choices (from memory) are automatic, 16:9, cinema, and 4:3. Just change it to what looks best for each input or select automatic.

A solution is available when viewing DVDs through Sony's upscaling DVD player, which permits you to set normal aspect ratio for a 1080 signal. But I hadn't thought about the problem with a cable company's set-top box. This set limits you to Wide mode and 3 settings: Zoom, wide zoom (less drastic), and full. An e-mail to Sony produced the generic response and reference to a general blurb about HD and aspect ratio. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it an apparent bummer.

Doesn't the TV have a setting for a 3D signal that must be selected first? I haven't played a 3D disc through my player to the TV, but have played 3D videos from my cable provider and had to change some setting or else I'd get two screens side by side. Try this:On the TV remote-MenuPicture(arrow down thru settings to)3D3D Auto View- and set to on.

Try the second button under the volume control that reads Format. Most HD channels are in the 16:9 format, so you will have lines above and below the picture. Sometimes you will have lines on each side when commercials are on. A lot of commercials are still in the 4:3 format. As you click on the Format button you can decide on which side you prefer. I usually have mine set on Full, but sometimes I have to set it to Zoom or Fill, depending on the movie. I hope this helps.

Mine plays any type DVD I've put in it. I didn't have to change any thing. Perhaps you screwed something up by changing to PAL. Did it come with instructions? I'd advise reading them. I had no problem, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and it's been working ever since. I've played region 2, 3 and others without having to change any settings or do anything.

Our picture quality is from edge to edge except when on 4.3 format. Sounds like you may have a defective tv. We have had our tv for 2 months and no issues. Hope this helps...
