1.85:1 is full screen, so you're not supposed to have black bars. You're fine, but you should really read some stuff about aspect ratios to get an idea.

I have the same TV and picture does and should be full screen with no bars. I have a feeling you're LCD settings are wrong, maybe you have 4:3 on and that why you have bars. Trust me if it fills the screen then you're Sony is fine.

Saving Private Ryan is 1.85:1 and has tiny black bars at the top and bottom according to others. However on my set it fills the screen. When I go to "display position" in the tv settings and switch it from "normal" to "+1" I can see the tv is over scanning. But there seems to be nothing I can do about it. Am I missing something, can someone explain what's up?

Default Sony KDS 55A2000

Hy guys,

i am from austria and so sorry for my bad english.

Yesterday, I was in the TVM Service Menu from the KDS; you know

"Power On+Display+5+Vol + + Vol - + Power On" or something like that!

And ther was a register about the TV Model or Info.

AEP 00

My question is what is the standard setting
AEP 00
or
AEP 01

I don't know any more because I pressed one time 3 and then it changes the value.

Now I have the seeting with AEP 00!

Will they be changes when it is on 00 or 01, I wean Display changes?!

I know that my Tv is not the AEP Version!

Greetings from Austria and thank you!

Can someone tell me the standard service menue settings?
