Sony EX713 (2010 transcoder) aspect ratio probs

I have jyst switched to the new (recommended) Bravia 2010 transcoder and find that most of my pre-recorded anamorphic (16:9) recordings arebeing displayed in "squashed" (4:3) aspect ratio in the centre of the screen when viewed on the "Wide" setting. The only way to fill the screen now is with the sub-optimal "zoom" or "smart" settings, both of which leave the picture still distorted. How can I return to the previous (correct) implementation?

What is your region (us, uk )?
You can try with Sony Bravia Us profile.

2 files analysed:the first is one that won't respond to the "wide" setting on the Bravia. The second is some HD camcorder footage that I have shot that stutters badly making itunplayable. Any help in solving either problem much appreciated.

Could you check on serviio log that this file is delivered in native format (not transcoded)?
