DVD's? We bought a new 32" lcd screen tv (samsung lcd hd ready). But when we watch DVD's there is a black line on the top and bottom of the screen. My old Tv (just a standard widescreen TV) didn't have this. The setting on the TV are set to 16:9.....but this makes no difference atl all. I'm sure that I could change the setting on my DVD player before, but I cannot now, it blocks me out of that setting area. Its an alba dvd player. any ideas???

Also, are all new tv's widescreen?
I am locked out of the menu on the DVD which lets me change the picture settings. Although this worked fine on my old TV?
Ok, on the specs of the tv it states the following:

Widescreen Option - NO - A format also known as 16:9 offering you the advantage of being able to watch movies in their original format

When I asked about this, the bloke said that it was for TV's that did not have widescreen, but all new TV's did, so this would not effect me.
