What turned me off to the RP82 was it's rudimentary handling of non anamorphic material.There is nothing rudimentary about it. It plays them in their original shape exactly like the official DVD spec says it should.
I have all the titles you are talking about and when I watch them on my 16:9 display I use the aspect ratio control on the display.
If you use the aspect ratio control on some DVD players like the RP91 or Toshiba and feed into a digital display, you loose horizontal resolution. This is because it treats the black bars on the left and right as picture content and the A/Ds only sample so many times per line.
