4:3 aspect programmes in 16:9 after adverts

[Mike_V]

Have KDL-40HX723 & KDL-24EX320 both bought 2012. Neither returns to 4:3 format after adverts, have to reset aspect manually each time.

Screen format options available are: Wide Zoom, Normal, Full, Zoom, 14:9, Captions.

I have to set them to Normal to use 4:3 (either film or old TV prog), during adverts it goes to Full, then flicks to Wide Zoom on return to programme.

Also have an old Bravia which recognises 4:3 perfectly and goes to 4/3 setting in Screen Format options. Don't the new versions cater for 4:3?

Can anyone help?

Hi there

1 - Press the blue HOME button on remote control

2 - Scroll across and find the "Settings" option

3 - Scroll up and find "Display" and click OK on the remote control

4 - Scroll down and find "Screen" and click OK on the remote control

5 - Set the following

Target Inputs = Common

Screen Format = Full

Auto Format = On

4:3 Default = Normal

Display Area = Normal

6 - Repeat for Target Inputs = Current

7 - Once done, return back to TV to test.

It works for me on my NX723.

Hope it works for you too.

Good Luck

Sorry - should have said "correct answer". Thanks Quinnicus, brilliant and clear instructions - I'd missed the settings for "Common". Wish I had your attention to detail!
