When stopping video, PCH crashes and goes to 4:3 when turned off and back on

When stopping video, PCH crashes and goes to 4:3 when turned off and back on
I have encountered this problem a lot. Oftentimes when finishing a movie, I will hit the stop button on the remote, only to be greeted by a black screen instead of the blue file list screen. I have to press the power button on the remote to turn the PCH unit to standby, then press the power button again and it will be fixed, with one minor technicality... it switches my display format to 4:3! It is back to 16:9 when I play a video file again or go into the setup and set it to 16:9.

Running the latest firmware on an A-110. Happens over network or playing files off of an internal hard drive. It's not a showstopper, but it is pretty annoying. Having to turn the unit on and off when I stop a video is obnoxious, particularly because it also turns the hard drive on and off.

Did you try restarting your TV when that happens?

The inability to setup and configure the NMT should not be disguised as a defect of the box

Yes.

It is a Popcorn Hour bug, nothing to do with my TV.

Yes........ and your not gonna tell me?

So.. PCH still on.....restart TV... switch to hdmi input from PCH......what aspect ratio? Or switch the TV to another input source and then back to PCH? .... any interesting results?

What is the default aspect ratio in your PCH setup window?

FYI a bug is something everyone with the same hard- and software can replicate when they do exactly what you do.
