I have the Sony HD 57 inch Rear Projection XBR, that I purchased in 2001. We have just recently hooked it up to a HD cable box. I have not noticed a significant change in the picture quality. I have inputs going into the red, green and blue HD inputs. Do I also need inputs into the HD and VD inputs? What else could be wrong? Or are my expectations of picture quality too high for such an old TV?
I don't have the XBR, but on my sony, using the cable box remote, I had to go into menu/display/etc. and mark the 1080i, 720p, and 480i settings. you usually get a "if you can see this" comment if your tv accepts the settings. for standard tv i set the screen to normal, and when the upper channels go to HD, they auto go to full screen. Sounds like you are using the component cable, and also make sure you are on the video port of remote, and the the TV input. The above worked for mine. Hope it helps.
