However, when I use it to view a regular DVD with a 4:3 picture ( a classic TV program, for example ), the S6700 suppresses the "normal" option from the "wide mode" setting on my television; it forces the TV into the "full" option which stretches, and distorts, the 4:3 picture in order to fill the 16:9 format of the television screen

If you enjoy super quality sound and picture and you are not bothered to much about the online applications such as YouTube, Netflix and up to 300 other online applications and live outside of the USA, be careful as though this item states that it is region free, this may be the case as far as playing DVDs and Blu-rays are concerned however according to the suppliers this does not cover the downloadable applications

Outstanding picture quality

Beautiful picture quality

Picture and sound is wonderful

Has a clear, sharp picture

The picture is unbelievable... and this unit is not even on our best TV

Great Picture.

Simple & easy great picture

It is a fabulous player, easy and the picture is absolutely beautiful

Even better it loads and plays blu-ray faster than my old player and does seem to have a crisper picture.

Easy to connect, great picture quality.

but I would not want to test that theory unless my player starts having issues as I

n’t want to risk losing region free capability (with so many firmware updates and codes, you never know what will happen).The only problem I had was when I played a region B Bluray disc that had 5.1 DTS audio track, and the audio kept cutting out for a second every 2-3 minutes
