The aspect ratio for the PAR is .85, because 640 divided by 752 = .85. So, the aspect ratio for the PVR should be 640 divided by 720 = .89. When I render a sphere at 720 x 480 x .89 and view it on the TV through the PVR, it looks a bit squashed. When I render the sphere at aspect 1.0, it looks good shown on the TV through the PVR. The manuals and tech support say the aspect ratio should be .89 (they say .9, actually), so why does my stuff look better at 1.0?
