aspect ratio

11 years ago

We have 2009 insignia LCD. Am using Comcast mini hd tuner which only has hdmi, no component connections. The aspect ratio menu on tv has the "auto" selection greyed out. We can select the zoom, cinema, 4:3, modes only. Was told to try a diff tuner with component connections? I have tried 2 diff Comcast mini dta tuners. The mini tuner has no user accessible settings. I think the full fledged Comcast tuner does. I think this is a cable co tuner setting issue?

If you think it's a cable company setting, have you contacted them with your question?

It does seem like a cable company setting. From the looks of it , it is highly unlikely to be a compatibility issue. It could either be that the hdmi cable is defective or tuner settings/limitations.

I do not have the remote for tv. Been told it has a zoom button. I set up my DVD player using component cables and the auto mode selection is still non-selectable.

You'll find it's easy to find a "universal" remote to buy that will operate your TV.

Some people buy them even when they have the multiple remotes for their various pieces of equipment, because many can be used as one remote to operate all the devices you have.
