Hi everyone.
I have this JVC model set up as a loop-through system, sky plus to L2 (set to sat RGB), DVD L1 to TV AV1 (set to RGB).
The JVC being in the middle of the daisy chain like this appears to affect the auto and widescreen switching from the sky box. For example I can no longer press SKY to 'jog' the TV into switching to AV1. Also the signal received by the DVDR is always 4x3 anamorphic ie the flag is not picked up by the DVD R as it would be if connected directly to TV. So any watching of sky or recording of sky via the box is in this format. I have to manually toggle through the TVs widescreen settings to set it to 16x9 then of course switch to a 4x3 broadcast and have to switch back! Playback from the HDD is the same too, so I assume there is no W/S flag recorded and therefore none will transfer to DVD if dubbed. I think all my box settings are ok ie TV is set to 16:9 auto on both units etc.
Does anyone have a similar set up and are there any workarounds or am I stuck with continually manually selecting channels and adjusting the aspect ratio?
Thanks
Chris
