Panasonic TH 42PX50U Question Can't Post

WinkHowdy folks, Ima noobie to this forum. My wife just bought me a Panasonic 42X50U. Picture is absolutely stunning. But I cannot change the aspect ratio of the system. My old HDTV(RCA), I could adjust about anyway possible. Im on COX digital HDTV system. Does the COX system cause the Panasonic aspect ratios to become non adjustable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks, Dump

NOPE! all the non-changeable channel's ratios are set by the stations. when your COX digital hdtv system ( Im assuming> a media receiver ) is able to bypass the aspect ratio, then It will fill your screen. Like most MOTOROLLA receivers.

You should be able to go into your Cable HDTV box and change the ratio.

I have the same TV and the same cable provider.

As far as using the tv's adjustments "full", "just", etc., Cox will not let you. You can only use their adjustment--"stretch", "zoom", and normal

Yea its preety lame--but havent found any remedies

I havent found any way to adjust the cable box so you can use the tv's settings. If you find out how to use the tv's settings with cox service LET ME KNOW!


However, if you use the internal tuner and not the cable box you may be able to use the tv's adjustments. But you need to have a HDTV card--I havent used one.

Thanks for the replies folks. I sincerely appreciate it. I haven't found a way to beat the Cox cable box yet. Also according to Cox, you can't use the cable card feature on the TV without loosing something the interactive program guide, etc. Since my wife lives for QVC, the program guide is a God send.
