This may seem like a beginner question but I'm new to this HD stuff and I need help. I Can't make my Mitsubishi 52525 HDTV give me an aspect ratio format that matches my DVD player (Toshiba SD-5970 HDMI). The player upconverts to 720p, 1080i and 1024p. I know that the last is unavailable in DVD format but when I try to use the settings other that 480p on my player they stretch the picture. My TV has formats available that could maybe adjust for this but only allows 2 formats for the upconverted resolutions.
My questions are:
1. should my DVD player be formatting the picture differently or is this normal?
2. if it's normal, is there firmware or some other way that I can make the TV give me the other options at those resolutions.
3. Are the DVD's I'm using (standard) causing the problem - do I need to wait for HD DVD?
Any info about these resolutions and how they should be rendered on screen or how DVD's apply to the whole fiasco would be appreciated. I guess I need toutoring. Thanks.
