What's you cable box's video output settings? Go into the settings menu and
look around for the picture controls or the output formats. It sounds like
the cable box is set to a 16:9 output when your TV is 4:3. Or it may be
your DVD is set to 16:9 output. Try tinkering with the settings and switch
between them. I know I had a problem with my Cox box the first time because
it was set to 4:3 and I had a 16:9 TV so everything was "squished." I
believe on the Cox remote its "Settings> More Settings> Output Formats>
Format." Hope this helped.
