New wonder if that's why it was on Woot!
Seems to be a major QC screwup to have the integrated DVD player set to 4:3. Bet they got lots of returns.

New Wouldn't surprise me
I'd have to go double-check the manual, but I'm pretty sure it didn't mention the DVD settings at all. I just saw the button on the remote and thought, "Huh, I wonder what this does."

Speaking of the manual, it was typical of the kind I hate. Click the "Format" button and it cycles among, "Standard, 16:9, 4:3, Cinema". In the directions it says, "Press the "Format" button to select Standard, 16:9, 4:3 or Cinema format." Well no shit, really? I'm glad they wrote that down.

Every 3-4 episodes they would finally attack each other and some stupid aerial melee would begin with missed attacks inevitably shattering backdrops while direct hits only propelled the enemy into backdrops for shattering.
