RE: Philips DVDR75

Having read a few more of the comments on this site, it seems most people would agree with you that seeing the whole widescreen image (presumably as the director intended) in a letterbox is better than "pan scam" (as someone put it).

Having said that, I would like the option to watch the movie at least particially zoomed in, to see the images in a bit more detail (this is possible on my freeview box, I assumed it would be on DVD). Either that or I`ll sit nearer the screen! I need to experiment with some more disks anyway.

RE: Philips DVDR75

Weird - I also am a first time DVD player owner, having just bought the £220 DVDR 75 from Richer sounds, and own a big old 4:3 telly! And I have had the same problem, and was looking on the internet for a solution.

I borrowed Blade Runner directors cut but could only watch it with huge black bars top and bottom, even though I selected "4:3 Panscan". I looked in the manual, and I think the machine will only do full hieght pictures if the DVD disc itself supports this "panscan" thing.

Have you had any more luck fixing it? Can`t say It`s much of an improvement on video at the moment as effectively the pictures is about half the size, albeit slightly better quality!
