Have got a widescreen movie I’m trying to view through the box, but it wont use the correct aspect ratio and just changes it to 16:9 instead. Obviously this makes people looked tall and stretched as the black bars are not there.
I’ve think I’ve tried every setting on the box and even tried changing the aspect on the tv, but to no avail!
Anyone know how to get 3rd party film files to show correctly?
It will show correctly when plugged directly into the tv and played back, but I’d like to have the extra options available when viewing through the Humax box.
Yeah, that’s a silly problem with the box. However, a way to get round it is to change your aspect ratio to 4:3 and then use the Wide button to change it to 16:9 Letterbox (or when changing the aspect ratio, go to the setting below on that page and change that). That’s an inconvenient workaround that seems odd, but it works for me.
Obviously, not as if you won’t eventually notice, but once the film has finished, put it back how you originally liked it.
That seems to work pretty well. Thanks.

I have the same problem but haven’t been able to make this solution work.
Where is the ‘wide’ button? And when it says ‘go to the setting below on that page and change that’, change it to what? Sorry if I’m being dense!
No, you are not being dense. The HDR-2000T’s standard remote does not have a Wide button.
Instead its
MENU > Preferences > Video > Screen Ratio – change the screen ratio to 4:3.
Then underneath the Screen Ratio option is Display Format. Change the Display Format to Letterbox 16:9
Thanks Luke, that works fine now. I think the mistake I was making was trying to do it while the usb file was playing, rather than beforehand.
