On my remote, it's called "Pic Size". You might also look for something called Aspect Ratio. Do you have cats? You might try them to see if they know.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If controls were switched -- the cats must have done it in the middle of the night.

I can find absolutely nothing that appears to change the aspect ratio -- however, the tv appears to be trying to self-correct.
So frustrating.

What's the model of the tv?

It's a Zenith. I don't know more about it, because it was my father's. My brother took it when he died (in '95) and then gave it to me when he got a new tv. So, it's more than 10 years old. It's doomed, isn't it?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Your Zenith may have seen its nadir.

I'll see if I can find my TV repair link, it might give us some idea of how big of a job it is.
Try turning it off and unplugging it for a few minutes.
Can't hurt.

Well, that appears to have worked . . . but I think I better be pricing out tvs when I'm out in the general shopping area.
(I unplugged it for 5 minutes, then plugged it back in -- still not fullscreen, so I turned it off and turned it on again and it was back. Whew.)

Yeah, that's typically one of the signs of a TV tube about to give up the ghost.
