So the newbie here just got a Sony DVP-S570D DVD Player. And page 55 o f the instuctions explains the difference between Letterbox ("displays a wide picture with bands...") and pan scan ("wide picture...cuts off portions that do not fit"). According to the explainations (and accompanying pictures) the PANSCAN should be like watching VHS movie on a normal TV.But when I try them both, they BOTH come out looking like letterbox. Is that because of the DVD being played? Or because I don't have some screen option set somewhere? Or something not yet considered?
TIA (thanks in advance)

Follow Ups:
The Pan&Scan will work only if DVD Disc that you watch is made for this. It has nothing to do with your TV or connections. A disc that you watch must have this option allowed. I forgot the simbol that should be on the disc that has this allowed.
They said, when they introduce DVD, that we shall still be able to watch movies in 4:3 format, with a Pan&Scan option, and they are about to be the same as when you watch a VHS tape. I still didn't see any Disc that support this feature (16:9 and 4:3 together). It's just another lie and trick. I still rent a movies on VHS if I see a "widescreen" on DVD.
We should just stop renting a movies for a month, and cancel our cable and satellite TV. After a month they would beg as to go back and they would say, "please just tell us what format you want and what movie you want to see" They would make all of it for us. And actres wouldn't make $2000000 in one hour. An acter should be payed $10-15 an hour like avery one else who does "nothing". Then you would watch what you want and in any format you want.
Some monitors will not support the conversion, so check your TV owners manual. Also, if you are using the composite outputs, that will not support the conversion (to Pan and Scan), switch to S-video and give it another try. Good luck.
.... some have letterbox on one side & 16:9 on the other while others give you an optional choice in the menu.John
