How do i change my audiovox tv into full screen?

Question

I just got the HD box for my HD tv. Now when i got to the regular channels its not full screen it has those black bars on the side. Will the HD have to do something with it.

Answer 1

The black bars on the side are either non-HD channels or HD channels broadcasting in standard (non-HD) definition.  In order to remove the black bars:

1. Make sure that you are on the HD version of the chanel you want to watch.

2. You can usually use the zoom or format feature on the tv to zoom in on or reformat the picture.  This may cut off some of the tops and bottoms of the picture or make people look wider.  It's not perfect but that's the way it works.
