You want to change the aspect ratio  on your DX-L42-10A for viewing.  Someone probably hit the MENU button and since Picture comes up first in the top row...pressed a few more arrows and buttons and not you have lost the full picture.
  • So with your remote, select MENU. At the top of the screen you will see 4 boxes. Picture, Audio, Setup and Channel. 
  • Select picture by using the > and then the UP arrow to highlight
  • Go down to Advanced video (below sharpness) and highlight that row and press ENTER on your remote
  • This will open the Advanced Video where you will see zoom modes.  When Aspect Ratio is set to Auto Zoom ON (it's probably OFF now) the TV will automatically select the correct aspect ratio.
  •  NORMAL = correct aspect ration to match the source image
  • WIDE = shows a full screen picture
  • ZOOM = enlarges a screen picture but might actually crop the picture as well so that you lose the top and bottom
  • CINEMA = stretches the sides but maintains a good center screen aspect ration
  • The choice is yours.
  • So highlight AUTO ZOOM with the arrow and that submenu will open. 
  • Make your selection and press ENTER on the remote.
  • You can then leave this menu area by either pressing MENU on the remote to back out or by pressing EXIT to close the menu
