Widescreen TV aspect nightmares

I have just bought a new Panasonic widesceen tv (Model No: TX-76PW60A) and connect a SD set top box. The problem I have is that when I watch tv or a DVD (through my Xbox) the aspect changes automatically from 16:9 to letterbox. Should I set the aspect through the tv or the STB?? I understand that when you watch tv not all things, mainly ads are recorded in widescreen but when i watch a DVD it changes automatically, as you can image this is reeally anoying.
 
Most, not all, dvds are now anamorphic wide screen. If the xbox has the option in the user menu, make sure that it is set to 16:9 wide mode and if you are connected up right. RGB.
In the user settings of the set top box, if it is sky digital or digital cable, you should also be able to set that to 16;9 wide mode and RGB.
ONce you hae done this, set the tv to auto aspect if it has it or if you can leave it on wide mode(by setting the tv manualy on the remote or front panel) hope fully this will sort out your problem.
