I'm having some headaches getting the Wii to output widescreen mode to my TV, but first, here's all the equipment in question.
TV: Sharp AQUOS 37" LC37D62U
A/V Receiver: Yamaha RX-757 (discontinued, apparently)
A/V Components: Charter HD DVR, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox360, Sony Playstation 2
Cable hookups are as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cable box to TV via HDMI
"""""""""""" to RX via toslink
Xbox360 to RX via component video/toslink audio
Wii to RX via component video/RCA audio
PS2 to RX via S-Video/toslink audio
RX to TV via component video
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the Wii set to 480p output (TV confirms the handshake), but every time I toggle the widescreen to 16:9 format instead of 4:3, the picture goes anamorphic instead of widening. I thought it might be the receiver, but the Xbox360 handshakes and the TV confirms a 1080p signal. I could tell the TV to stretch the picture, but if the hardware will do that for me all the while giving me more screen real estate, I figure why settle for less?
Is there something I'm missing, perhaps?
