please? I was questioning that statement about 4:3 too, because of my recent experience, but I'm a total DVDP newbie. I have "regular" TV's (4:3) and I didn't find a DVDP that would scale everything to that as an obvious setup option. It was tough to tell in stores, the DVDP's are all hooked up to much newer TV's than mine, the manuals are typically not very clear, the salespeople not that knowledgable, etc. So I have been viewing anamorphic (?) etc. movies using the DVDP's "widescreen" mode - not the same as 4:3 scaling, but fills much more of the screen, clearer than the zoom, don't miss a lot... Maybe down under they get different features on DVDP's, but I'm really wondering how common the 4:3 scaling might be in NA, because I sure would like to have that feature, and I can still return my DVDP for one that has it if it really is common here. Thanks.
