I`ve just bought this player from Richer Sounds and am perfectly happy with it. However I have 2 questions for anyone else with this player.

1. What difference does the 4:3 letterbox and pan & scan setting make? I can`t seem to get any difference at all.

2. MI2, region 1. It plays but is stuttering a bit. I have no problem with this disc in my Samsung 909.

I`m trying to see if I have a faulty player or not.
