Ug. I can't stand that mode. :)

I'm not sure if my set does that on the s-vid inputs, but it does on 
the component ones. I use stretched 4:3 mode (I *really* hate 
left-right letterbox -- that's a waste of screen real estate!!!).

but my set it a tad bit old now (2001 model), and component is all I've 
got (for HD). ;-)
