Default Picture Aspect Ratio - automatic switching problem (solved)

When I think of it, I realise that this behaviour is understandable if
the Widescreen Signalling signal is not present on 4:3 pictures.
Presumably, it works by being absent or present, rather than actually
telling the TV whether select 4:3 or 16:9. However, I can see no obvious
reference in the instruction manual warning the user to ensure that the
default zoom should normally be set to 4:3, as I have described.

Is this a quirk peculiar to this particular TV set?


No, my Sony Bravia is the same, I need to set the default AR to 4:3 for
the autoswitching to work correctly in all instances, same for a cheapo
Beko model I've got too, I seem to recall.
