TV Picture Stretched...?

Hey guys my TV recently messed up (Don't know why) and the picture stretched. The image on the screen is too far out to the side, therefore some things like the start and end of subtitles will be cut off at both ends of the screen.



What's going on here? How can I fix it?



*Note* changing aspect ratio does nothingTV Picture Stretched...?Check on your remote if you have a menu with settings for brightness, hue, etc.



If you do, there may also be a setting for x-offset, y-offset, x-skew, and y-skew. If you find this, adjust the x-skew to eliminate the stretching.



If you have a cable/satellite setup, then make sure you check all remotes (eg. the remote for the cable box, the remote for the tv, etc.) except for VCR, DVD, and audio. This setting could be on any remote that controls the TV screen itself.



Lastly, if this doesn't work, then please let me know what happened before and after the TV screwed up. For example, did someone fiddle around with it?



Hope this helps!TV Picture Stretched...?First off there won't be anything in your regular menu to adjust x/y settings. You can only access that through the service menu which is something you shouldn't mess with unless your a trained technician or really know your way around it. I highly doubt it's because of that anyways.



Since you said your problem didn't go away by pressing the aspect ratio button; I'm assuming your on another imput besides the TV imput. Were you watching a DVD w/ the subs on? If so it's probably your DVD player in zoom mode. Try pressing the zoom button until it gives you the correct view. If that doesn't work try going into the set up menu and change the output to the type of TV you have. e.g. 16x9 or 4x3.
