...recorder in SD in 4:3 format. Thanks. I recently recorded a few hockey games that I wanted to keep on a DVD. Unfortunately I chose the HD channel instead of just recording the SD channel which usually records fine.

Now when I hook up the DVD recorded to the cable box through red-white-yellow cables I am able to record but the problem is that it is in extreme widescreen format so the picture only takes up about 1/2 of the screen.

Does anyone know how I could adjust the settings so my recording could fill the whole screen like a regular 4:3 DVD recording would. Thanks.
I also tried going playing the program on the cable box through the TV and use the output on my TV to go through to the DVD recorder. The only problem is that I can't get any video to show up on the DVD recorder, just audio.


I have a Panasonic TH42-PZ77 TV and a Philips DVD Recorder 3545
