    I recently bought a Lite-on LVW 5006 dvd recorder and having never used one before I'm a bit clueless, anyway I'm running my sky through my dvd recorder and then using it to tape stuff but what I've noticed is that if I tape something with 16:9 picture format it stays like like that when I play it back on a 4.3 tv it wont letter box.

    Is there anyway to change this or do I have to just make the choice between recording in letterbox or widescreen?

     Good chouce of a DVD recorder .. I have two and I enjoy them a lot

     You need to select the aspect ratio that you want your playback to be shown in

     SETUP>PLAYBACK>ASPECT RATIO>{make your choice}

     Sometimes you've gotta make a choice .. You can't have it both ways ..

     Have you updated your firmware or hacked your Macrovision?
