Although the TV is 16:0, for non 16:9, programs, set the screen type to 4:3
on the SIRT-451 reciever and then zoom it. If this does not work, I will
check my settings and let you know.

Many HDTV receivers, CATV boxes, OTA Tuners, have the ability to change the
aspect ratio of the display being sent to the display device. Confirming the
auto aspect settings on these devices, and on the display can affect the
functions relative to your quest.

Not really. Sounds like a problem with your Samsung and the way it's
receiving its signals. I have the LG LST-4200A with a new Sony and I
can do just about anything I want. West Wing is always is in Wide
Screen format (16:9).

Check out your setup menus for both the T-451 & 30HS420....

I have this 'same' units: T-451 & 34HS510 Sony HDTV....

You are never able to Zoom a Pure HD or upconverted HD Picture!!!

You can always Zoom a Digital SD Picture & any Analog 4:3 Picture.

I can dig out & post both my units Setups If you need more
help........
