New TV config decissions

I'll have to check the player docs when I get home to see what it's doing and what I can change. I'm guessing it outputs at 4:3, which would be why 16:9 is stretching it. Both zoom1 and zoom2 on the TV seem to be simply scaled up 4:3, with zoom2 just being a closer zoom. With the 1.33:1 it works great since the smaller aspect still doesn't fill the screen at zoom1. But with the 1.66:1, it zooms in too much, cutting off a good inch from top and bottom.

Hopefully I'll be able to find some config options on the player. If not, I guess we'll be watching Marry Poppins on 4:3 (ugh) and joining :ism: and become aspect-ratio-snobs.

Or buy a new DVD player....
