All BDs are in 16:9, so you can't change it. Don't know why you'd want to change it anyway, otherwise you'd be looking at a stretched picture.

Re: Blu-Ray with Sony KP-61HS20 and 1:33.1 Content
Few questions:
These are the BR Casablanca and Day the Earth correct?
How are you connected -- HDMI or component?
What is your S550 Video setting?
What is your TV aspect setting?
Yes you should be able to get a full height 4:3 image so I'm guessing one of the video settings has to be correctable.

are you able to use HDMI or dvi on the tv from the bluray player? that would fix this problem. you will get black side bars on the side.

Thanks for the info about BD's being 16:9. Looks like I will just have to get used to a better, albeit smaller, picture!  |
I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a 4:3 screen. I just assumed it was widescreen. But some tvs have an option that enables them to zoom in 4:3 images on a BD, you should search your manual for that.

The Sony TV is a 4:3 aspect then, that was also a mistake in my assumption.
I think the Zoom function of your TV may be the only way to get it full screen on a Blu Ray disc, but I'm not sure how much picture degradation that would cause vs using a standard DVD (I don't think you can upscale DVD over component).
