What format is the CABLE BOX set to? There is a setup menu for the supplied
device, call the cable supplier if they did not give you a operations manual
or at least showed you how to switch these settings via their setup menu and
remotes.

You'll need a HDTV box, not just a digital box.

On a completely different subject, can you tell me if you've noticed a
humming noise that comes from the speakers/top of the set? I just
bought this set, and am having that problem. I found a review where
someone else noticed the same thing. Before I exchange it, I want to
know if they all have this problem. Thanks.

Are you using the Comcast Cable box? If so there is a menu setting that
tells it to send 16 x 9 instead of 4 x 3.
