Akumar,With respect to letterboxing (black bars top and bottom), it depends on the material.
Widescreen TVs have an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 (aka 16:9). If the DVD you are watching is wider than that (1.85:1, 2.33:1, 2.66:1) you have two options -- geometric distortion or black bars. VIdeo purists believe in preserving the Original Aspect Ratio, so the black bars is the "better" option.
In terms of trouble material -- I didn't run across any when I played with the player, but I only put on about 5 or 6 discs.
