DVD`s - Dual Screen Versions

I aquired my DVD player in December as a gift and did not realise that nearly all DVD`s are only available in Widescreen. Problem - I only have a Normal screen TV. OK I could buy a widescreen TV but cash flow is tight at the moment. I rented Big Daddy last weekend and found to my delight that on the reverse of the disc was a version suitable for my screen. Are there many discs like this or is this a rarity. Any pointers would be gratefully received.

Ian, Allen
once again thank you Problem solved. I can now get on with watching Lonesme Dove ( probably one of the best Westerns made ).

RE: Where can i get an all4one with DVD capability?

Ian , Allan
thanks for your help. Phoned All4One and problem solved over the phone. I`m not technically minded but the problem appeared to be that I had programmed the TV and VCR first.She wiped those from the remote and the DVD was programmable. The only problem I have now is that on playing Region 1 it`s in Black and White. Any ideas? Incidentally I got my remote from Curry`s , only 1 in store, for £31.95. They wanted £34.95 but matched Dixon`s price.

RE: Philips 701 Cant Hack - Wont Hack

Allen thanks for replying - I followed the manual through but still no result.It does not accept the setup code.After entering 0539 the device key is meant to blink twice but it does nowt! Do you think I`ve got a dodgy remote although the TV and VCR work off of it with no problem.
Any thoughts?

Philips 701 Cant Hack - Wont Hack

I`ve bought the Remote URC 7560 and followed the clear instructions on this site for a hack and it will not work. I switch on , display says No Disc. I enter setup code press the Magic button and enter the 085 code. Display still says No Disc. I thought maybe the remote wasn`t functioning but it operates the TV ok. What am I doing wrong? If anybody can offer some help I would be grateful.If you can offer help before I take the player to be hacked at a cost I would be extremely grateful.
Many Thanks
