Help w/ LCD and DVD Player

I am having a video display problem that I hope someone can answer. I own a Sharp Aquos LCD LC-37D7U and a Panasonic DMR-EH50S DVD Player/Recorder. I have connected the DVD Player to the TV via Component Video connections and the display on the TV does not show well (i.e. the top and bottom of the DVD I am playing are not displayed and as such I cannot see the menu options on the DVD - it appears to be displaying in 4x3 mode?). I have looked at both manuals and nothing stands out as to what I should attempt next.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions

The first thing you need to

The first thing you need to do is check the menu of the DVD player and be sure it is set for widescreen. Read "How To Configure Your DVD Player For a Widescreen TV" to learn more about this.

Then, if the image still is not displaying properly, you need to cycle through the TV's format modes and find the correct one for your source material. The button labled VIEW MODE on your remote will do this.
