I have a 16:9 display. When viewing DVD content authored in letterbox
(not anamorphic-widescreen), I use the "zoom" view mode (instead of
full-mode) on my TV to show the letter boxed content.

All works great, but when I turn on the caption on the dvd-player, the
caption gets clipped off at the bottom.

Is the caption position specified by the DVD content? Or is my
dvd-player not displaying it correctly? If I have a 4:3 TV, then the
caption position is correct, it is out of the picture. But I have a
16:9 TV, so the position it displays the caption is wrong.

Will getting a different DVD-player help? I have an old Toshiba 5-disc
DVD changer.

Thanks.

Raymond
