4:3 Standard Format

I play back a DVD that is in a standard format not widescreen, but the tv will not adjust to the proper screen size so everything looks wider. I checked the Manuel and tried everything to get the tv in the correct format! My VCR that has a standard for mat tape will play correctly on the same tv. Would you know what I may not being correct? Thank you for your time. mike

I would recommend contacting Sony Support to see if they can troubleshoot this for you. Your TV may need to be serviced, but they may be able to resolve this, and if not, they'll be able to advise you what is necessary.
