![]() I then went to universal remote settings - new device - home theater - search for the brand: i typed "Edifier" - click "view more brands" - "Edifier" appears - click on "Edifier" - click on "Optical" - "Power Test" - this time clicked "No", now you have 3 more times to make the Power Test - clicked second time "Power Test" and pushed the volume buttons on the remote. But, still no volume control.Ģ) With the speakers connected through optical cable directly to the tv and powered on, I changed the sound source to optical. Also, with every press of the volume button there is a lag. Here is what I did:ġ) Exactly what the guy in the video did and the only difference was that now + and - symbols appear above the word optical. At the same time, I had the satellite box connected through hdmi to tv. You will need to refer to its instruction manual to correct the issue.I followed the guide you posted. If neither is these were changed, even by accident, it is possible the aspect ratio was changed through the TV's menu. If black bars only appear at the top & bottom of the screen, you are most likely watching an SD show and you either changed your Shaw Direct receiver's Video Settings or pressed the Aspect button on your Shaw Direct remote and the image is now Stretched.When this channel starts broadcasting an HD show again, the black bars will automatically disappear and the image will once again fill the screen. ![]() The image will no longer fill the screen and black bars will appear around the image for the remainder of the show. This is due to watching a channel that normally features HD programming but happens to broadcast an SD show.Why do I get black bars on the top & bottom / all sides of the image on my TV? If you made such changes in the TV's menu, you will need to refer to its instruction manual to revert them. If during one of these SD shows you change the aspect ratio using your remote or through Video Settings, you need to remember to revert these changes to return to normal once an HD program is shown.If you are watching a channel that normally features HD programming but happens to broadcast an SD show, the image will no longer fill the screen and black bars will appear around the image for the remainder of the show.Although most channels now feature HD programming, sometimes channels with play shows that were recorded at a time where HD either did not exist or was simply unavailable so these shows were shot in SD with a 4:3 aspect ratio, which was the norm at the time, compared to recent HD shows shot in the now standard 16:9 aspect ratio.Why does the picture size change on some channels or TV programs? Please refer to your TV manual for the best viewing experience. Due to the image's squarish nature and the TV's screen being rectangular, small sections of the top and bottom of the image are lost but the black bars are no longer visible.īear in mind that most HDTVs also have different options to adjust the picture size. SD Program: the image's width and height increases proportionally until the left and right sides reach the side of the screen.HD program: all sides of the image bleeds out of the frame.Height remains the same and black bars are still visible above and below the image. SD Program: the image's width increases until both sides reach the side of the screen.HD program: the image's width increases (with the left and right sides now offscreen) but its height remains the same.Stretch effectively stretches the image horizontally.SD Program: the 4:3 image appears in an almost square area surrounded by black borders.HD program: the image fits the 16:9 format of your HDTV.More on that subject in the next section below.ĭepending if you are watching an SD program or an HD program, cycling through the Aspect ratio modes will yield the following results (HDTV example shown here): If you do not have either of these buttons on your remote, these settings can also be modified under Video Settings in your Shaw Direct receiver's Preferences. You can use the " ASPECT" or " B" button on your Shaw Direct remote control to cycle from Normal to Stretch or Zoom the picture on your screen.
