Actually, Susanne, I was responding to Madeleine's email (#5158). She said:

"I am not sure if all Widescreen TVs are the same but we have a zoom 
feature that allows us to stretch the picture out a bit to fill the 
screen better..."

So, I was asking about the zoom feature on the TV, not on the DVD player.

Thanks for responding, though.

p.s. Madeleine, if I am getting your name wrong, please let me know. 
Since you didn't sign the email I am referencing (and was replying to 
in the earler email), I just took the name attached to your email and 
used that. Sorry if it's not your real name!
