I`ve just bought a scan dvd player and am relatively pleased with it, am I right in thinking that on 4:3 PS tv aspect setting the picture should fill the whole of the screen on my t.v (I don`t have a widescreen t.v) ? as this setting is identical to 4:3 LB mode i.e with the black bars top & bottom on all the discs I have tried so far.

Depends on the disc, some actually include information that your DVD player can use for panning and scanning but most don`t. So you won`t usually get a full screen image from a widescreen disc on any player.
Fear not, this isn`t a fault. ;-)

Thanks for the reply Rob, I have watched a few films since and 2 of these (Kevin & Perry, Chicken run) play with a full screen when the setting is set to 16:9 even though my T.V is 4:3. But the other one (Perfect storm) didn`t. I take it it`s something to do with the ratio the film is produced in. Whatever it is it`s confusing the hell out of me!
