The quotes were from me. I may be wrong in my understanding of the term "scaling".
I take it to mean allowing the player to blow-up an image such that a non-anamorphic WS DVD will fill up more of the vertical height of the screen (at the expance of image to the sides.
All that said, strictly speaking, scaling could also refer to changing a 480i image to some other format. Several new players have been announced that will scale a standard DVD (480i) to HD resolution (10801).
Methinks the original poster was referring to the first explanation, but I could be wrong.
