Thanks Brian, I guess overscan would account for lack of pillarbox bars. But that would also mean I am losing quite a lot of info left and right on 1.85:1 and other widescreen formats. Looks like I may need to get my overscan checked.

I also need to recheck what happens on my 4:3 set. I would expect smaller letterbox bars on 1.66:1 material. However, this set does an automatic squeeze which I thought was a fixed squeeze of the raster at the 1.78:1 ratio or thereabouts. For 2.35:1 materials the player adds extra black bars. But for 1.66:1, should I not see again pillarbox bars (small ones) as the image is slotted-into the 1.78:1 window? Maybe overscan again is causing the cropping.

Hmmm,
