I wanted to apply P&S as otherwise the picture would be too small to view from my couch. I know of film buffs complaining of loss of as much as 55% of the original screen...etc with P&S, but i am ready to put up with it.

I have bought a few wide-screen edition dvds. However my TV is 4:3. Thus the film is rather "small" on the tv. I realised that my dvd player has a "pan and Scan" option which according to the manual allows the picture to "blow up" proportionately to fit my screen. This option does not seem to...
