I bought a Panasonic RV80 this summer due to word that this discontinued model had one of the best picture images in its price range. I bought a disconinued/floor model from the Wiz for $180.00, and it looks quite fine. While they gave me a remote, they did not have a manual. One thing I have found is that on some widescreen discs (maybe 1 out of 5 or 6), it won't give me a widescreen image, it formats it to fullframe (BOO!!!) Since I don't have the manual, can any one who has this or a simular player clue me in about this: is it a menu selecton I'm not finding, or a fault of the player. Also, anyone know how I can get in touch with Panasonic to try and buy a manual for this player (unless someone could help me with a photocopy)
