Is it possible to 'pillarbox' DVDs that are 4:3 when outputting in Progressive mode on the XMS-888?
Most displays which are progressive compatible always treat 576p/480p as 16:9 and don't allow you to resize to 4:3 or zoom. Therefore, every 4:3 DVD I watch in progressive mode is stretched to fit the 16:9 screen.
Changing the output to interlaced component on the XMS-888 isn't really an option as the connection on the TV only allows 576p/480p/720p/1080i. Any ideas?
