SVR-HDT1000 and recorded aspect ratio

Morning all, I have the HDT1000 although this applies equally to the hdt500.

I record several older programmes that were originally aired in 4:3 such as Frasier. My previous recorder displays this on a 16:9 tv perfectly well, albeit stretched. I am sure that all TVs have done this for quite a few years as broadcasters changed from std to wide screen.

When I play back the recording from the sony box it's in 4:3 ratio.

How can I change this?

Hi, it is preset to display pillar box so bars left and right of a 4:3 image, this is the normal set up, so change to a FULL image go to , System Menu, AV Settings, Display Format and change to Full.
