Hi
After reading many good reviews, I have just bought my first DVD player, a Toshiba SD220. I decided to get a multi-region (chipped) version.
Looking at the output on my 4:3 TV (I can't justify upgrading to a 16:9 yet), different DVD's seem to display in different ways. Sometimes the picture is pushed up the top of the screen, sometimes it is squashed, sometimes stretched. Sometimes it displays correctly. I have borrowed some Region 1 discs from a friend, and they seem to be the worse in terms of displaying correctly.
The thing is, should I expect my 4:3 TV to resolve the output from my DVD inconsistently? I've also tried the output on my 4:3 portable and that does different things to my 21" 4:3.
Can I expect the DVD output be OK on a 16:9? Or should I expect something is wrong with the way the player has been made multi-region?
Sorry for lots of questions but I am rather a newbie to all of this, so thanks for your patience and help!
Best regards,
Peter
