722k SD video on HDTV problem

[lohengrin42]

Hi All,

I just upgraded from a 625 to a 722k in order to get HD channels. We have an HDTV (720p). I notice with the new receiver SD channels are displayed slightly squished so that people look a little tall and thin. With the 625 we didn't have that problem. It seems like the 722 is not using enough horizontal pixels for SD channels. HD channels are working fine, it's only when the 722 is converting and SD channel for output on the HD TV. Is this just me, or is this a common issue?

Some relevant info:
TV1: 16x9 720p
Video connected with component video through our amplifier
I assume it has the latest firmware since I just got this yesterday.

Use the format button on the bottom of your remote aka * button

Also make sure your receiver is set to 780p in the HDTV setup menu
