Z KAI Bluray question

Post by LeprikanGT » Fri May 21, 2010 12:08 pm

When I put the bluray in my PS3 and go to play it, the picture doesnt even take up all the of the screen. Theres a large ammount of black around all 4 side of the screen and its the same way on both flat screen tvs in my house. Is there some setting I have to change? It doesnt do that with any other blurays I have watched before.

Is this happeneing to anyone else?

While the movie is playing, bring up the menu screen with all the little icons. Look for AV Settings, there should be something along the lines of Screen Size. Put it either to "Normal" or "Full" and that should fix the problem (I'm not near my PS3 at the moment, but I think that should help.)

I think Tom Dubois of "The Boondocks" said it best for me when FUNimation announced the release of the domestic Dragonbox, after buying all of the Season Sets: "MOTHERFUCK!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT, PRICKS, SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIT!"

yeah I tried those on the small tv but the only one that helped was wide screen and everything was distorted, I guess Ill just have to settle for watching it on the other tv and having to move the PS3 around.

It really sucks for all that hastle, I bought the Bluray for better picture and I end up with a smaller one.

Well, is your TV 16:9 or 4:3?

If your TV is 16:9 go to your PS3 settings, go to display settings, and make sure the display is set to 16:9.

Then, there will only be black bars at the left and right (there has to be, because the footage is 4:3 and shouldn't be stretched).

If your TV is 4:3, make sure your PS3 display settings are 4:3, then play the video and while you're watching, press Triangle on the PS3 and it'll bring up a menu. Click on display settings and click "Zoom" which will make it fill up the screen.

Hope this helps.

I'll try that. Not sure which my TV is though. I'm not super savvy with all the aspect ratios, but I know I haven't messed with the PS3 setting yet so it may help. It's the same on both TVs, but I'm not sure if both are the same aspect ratio or not.

Thanks.
