It Depends, what do you mean by resizing? Do you mean from 4:3 to 16:9? If so it should only do this if the program is broadcast in 4:3 and not constantly as you describe. I would suggest checking whether the SCART leads are fully pushed in as it could be intermittently touching the pin which controls screen size...

ok i exagerated on the constantly bit but it does do it and is quite annoying, is there a way of having a constantly sized picture like on my 21inch tv? maybe a setting where it stays a constant size always

It's actually designed to behave like that - If the Broadcast is in the Thinner Format, Called 4:3, then the TV shall adjust itself appropriately. It's the way widescreen works. If you change the tv settings so it stretches the 4:3 programs to fill the 16:9 frame it will look very poor (massively stretched and out of proportion people) so it's actually better as it is.

This is what 4:3 is like:
http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/telev...n_16x9_4x3.jpg 4:3 Is the 'tradditional' way things have been filmed for years - hence everyone having 'square' televisions for so many years. Now there's widescreen - and the only way to display the old material is in the way it was meant to be shown - native 'square' format. This is what 16:9 is like: http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/telev..._16x9_16x9.jpg This is the new way of broadcasting. Fuller Picture, fills your line of vision almost. Only newer programs (and all DVDs) are in this format. |

Auto settings will, as has already been said, adopt whatever format is being broadcast at the time, and will switch from one format to another, particularly during adverts. My cheap 28" w/s tv can be set to select a particular format which can be locked and saved for each channel in the video menu. It depends on the tv your niece has whether it can also be set that way. I have set mine to 14x9 for all analogue channels and Auto for the scart carrying my Freeview box which is set to 16x9.
