Finally got around to investigating this. Yep, changing the Screen Format option worked. It seems to me, setting to Original would apply to the original format of the disc, and Fixed implies everything plays with the same aspect ratio (ie 16x9), but the opposite is true.
And yes, the manual is badly written for this.
