On my parents Sony HD tube (direct-view CRT), you can scale (stretch)
the picture on SD cable channels, since they don't fill the whole
screen. But on HD channels, the screen is locked into Full mode and
processes the signal in the correct resolution. This is using the HDMI
port on the TV (DVI -> HDMI cable). Be sure you have an HD receiver
box.
If you scale the SD to HD things look stretched right.. faces don't
look proportional.. ?
Just to clarify what I meant. If you watch an HD channel (CBS HD for
example), and they are showing SD content, then you can't zoom the
picture (which would stretch the faces), the display is locked to full
screen (with black bars on SD content).
Sounds like the cable installer used component video cables with audio
cables attached (5 total RCA plugs/cables). If you get audio (out of
your TV) from your DVD output right now, you probably have just the
composite video being fed into the TV. You could get better picture
quality using an S-video cable rather than the composite (yellow RCA),
or if you have a second component input on the TV, you could run
another set of component cables w/audio (5 cables again) to get the
best picture from the DVD (especially if you have a progressive scan
DVD player).
