I have a Samsung LN S3241D LCD TV connected to Cox Cable through a Samsung
DVD VR330 DVD/VCR Combo Recorder and have two issues I need help with.

The first is minor abd if I don't get a solution I can live with it. I
don't seem to be able to make the TV's remote control the DVD/VCR. If I
read the TV's manual correctly, I should be able to do this. Has anyone
succesfully accomplished this?

And

The second is much more important. I have no HD channels here so I am
running on standard definition channels. If I have the TV's Picture Size
set to 16:9, I get a nice picture except that it is stretched horizontally -
circles are horizontal ovals. If I change the aspect ratio to 4:3, the
circles become slightly vertical ovals. Someone suggested I might need a
4:3 overide from Cox. I called them and the lady I talked to knew nothing
about such a thing. I know even less.

Is there anyway I can get rid of this distortion in the 4:3 mode. Zoom will
set circles correctly but then I loose a portion of the picture

Can someone help me out here?

Thank you.
