I have a pioneer laserdisc player and have just purchased a widescreen TV. When I attempt to play widescreen laserdiscs I still get the letterbox line on the TV (the black lines at the top and bottom). Is there anyway to set the laserdisc player to play properly on the widescreen TV?
Follow Ups:
Unfortunately, LD was desinged for 4:3 display devices even though the movie maybe letterboxed. The exception to this is squeeze (anamorphic) import LD movies which were specifically designed for the 16:9 displays.Your LD player has no setting that will allow movies to be displayed properly on 16:9 displays. I use the Pioneer HLD-X9 LD player with my Loewe Aconda 16:9 HD-TV. I adjust the aspect ratio on my TV to compensate for LD movies.
My HLD-X9 is (hopefully) due to leave Hong Kong at the end of the week. Posting that you are already enjoying the use of one is frustrating. Please stop!John

Your widescreen TV is set up for the screen ratio of 16:9 but few LDs are issued in this format. "Widescreen" LDs vary from 2.35:1 to 1.85: 1 which means your 16:9 = 1.78:1 screen will not be completely filled so lines occur top & bottom. However you should be better off than with the older 4:3 = 1.33:1 style screen.John
