I recorded the Kentucky Derby from a Samsung OTA STB in 16x9 on the E20 with dvd-ram. It plays great out of the RP91 on the Sampo 16x9 direct view but when I record to dvd-r will the other dvd players make it letterbox so it will play on 4x3 tvs without looking scrunched?


Thanks for any insight!

Nope, the E20 flags everything as 4:3 so it won't get downconverted because the player thinks its already 4:3. Only the Pioneer DVR-7000 and PVR-9000 recorders let you set a recording flag (16:9 or 4:3 for video mode only).
