Poor HDTV picture from DVD player

08 Aug 2007

What happens when you bought a brand new HDTV set, you plug it in, you sit down to watch a DVD, and the picture is far from perfect?

First of all, make sure you’ve gone into your Pioneer DVD player’s set-up menu to select “16:9″ for your TV Screen shape (the set-up menu option on the Pioneer player should be called something like “Initial settings… Video output… TV screen”). If you don’t do this, then your DVD player may still think your TV is the old 4:3 roughly square shape and widescreen DVDs will not play back in their correct aspect ratio.
