RE: picture squashed playing region 1 discs
The Tosh is aobut 10 years old. The DVD is supposed to supply an ideal PAL/NTSC output to `multistandard` tvs. Is the problem then the tv being limited to PAL and so not expanding the vertical image to compensate for fewer lines? And if so, is the only way around the problem a new tv?! Or can one upgrade old tvs?
All R1 DVDs are affected. Region 2 versions of the same films are perfect.

picture squashed playing region 1 discs
I use a new Philips DVD 950 with a Toshiba tv (2500TB)> The region hack works fine, but for one thing: with region 1 discs the picture is squashed so people`s faces get very fat. I live in Ireland (region 2). Suggestions please!
Thanks.
