Darren,
A widescreen TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which equates to 1.77:1 whereas
a great deal of films for cinema release are shot with an aspect ratio of
2.35:1 so that is why you have the black bands at the top & bottom of
the picture. Your only option if you do not like this is to use the zoom
function on the TV but you will then lose the sides of the picture.

Hi All,
Can someone take some time to explain to me what the difference is
between widescreen and fullscreen in the sense that some DVD's which
I play back via my MVP take up all (or almost all) of my 32" Panny WS
TV yet others have huge black bars top and bottom!
Is there a way of converting these movies displaying the letterbox so
that it covers more of the screen?
TIA
