I just got this TV from a friend and the picture from the cable shows bigger than the screen. When I play a DVD, the picture is great, but hooked up to my basic cable (no box, just wall cable connection) the images seem to be magnified. Make sense??? Please help, thanks!
Your remote is the original one that came with the TV? does it ave a button marked aspect? or one marked wide?
The selection of different size projection is made by a button on the remote. I beleive your TV is on the wrong mode setting
I also will need to know the model of your cable box or your carrier. In almost all cases you will want to change the "aspect ratio" on the cable box. This can be found in the menu/settings on your cable box. If you still need assistance let me know. Also please take a moment to accept and rate my solution accordingly.
Thank you,

I called Hitachi and the solution is in your cable remote not your tv remote. Your tv has a aspect menu as does your cable remote. Based on your cable provider you should have a settings or menu button to change the zoom or aspect of your screen.
----------------
DISPLAY FEATURES ------- Aspect Ratio----16:9.
----Horizontal Resolution -----1280 Lines---------
3:2 Pulldown Compensation-------Yes
Widescreen Modes ------Zoom 16:9, Conventional 4:3, Zoom, 16:9, Expand
Without the original remote .and if there is no video or view mode set up while in the menu system that will have to be manually accessed at the tv. then you will have to contact Hitachi and purchase a new remote.
there is no box
without remote for tv your stuck!

Click this Link to download the user manual for your TV to find out how to Zoom in and out of the picture.
Reset video settings from menu settings ;video
Just adjust the screen size by poressing the zoom button to make it m\normal at present it is at zoom mode.
The device is set to extra zoom feature.disable it to get it normal.
Ensure that you have not setup the zoom feature.
Try unplugging both the TV and the cable box from power for ten minutes, this will reset basic settings on both machines.
If you still get the problem after startup, then check the video settings on cable box, and ensure that they are set to 16:9, as they should be.
Check also that video settings on TV are set to automatic or 16:9.
You need to use the ASPECT button on the original remote.
See instructions on manual at page 23

I just received an expert answer to this question, but I am still not able to fix the problem. The answer given was to disable the extra zoom feature to get normal picture. This makes sense, but I looked into the menu and wasn't able to find this option. How do I disable this feature??? BTW, I am using a universal remote, my friend doesn't have the original.
Thanks!!!!

k, tried to reset from menu, am not getting that option to reset. There's honestly not even an option to zoom, so I am lost in the dark here. Please, someone who actually knows THIS tv and the menu, can you give me a solution???
