Hello, and thanks for any help you might have. I recently purchased a PS3 mainly as a Blu-Ray player. I'm using it on a 4:3 CRT TV that is capable of 1080i resolution. When watching a Blu-Ray movie, though, it seems to be "double letterboxed", and I can't find a way to prevent it. What I mean is that the TV is letterboxing the content as it thinks that it's 16:9 content, but the PS3 is also letterboxing it as it knows the TV is 4:3. Connection to the TV is done with a HDMI cable it that means anything. The picture is great, but only half of the real estate on the TV is being used, so the picture is very small. Is there any way to "zoom" the video (cropping the sides to keep ratio) with a PS3?

Thanks again!!
