recording 4:3 aspect ratio from UPC DVR

    I have my DVD Recorder connected to my UPC DVR via SCART, the exact same way as I had it connected to the old Pace box. When I recorded a programme from the Pace box which had an aspect ratio of 4:3, that's the way it would playback on my DVD recorder. Similarly, if it was 16:9, it would automatically switch on playback.

    Since changing to the DVR if I transfer a programme onto the DVD Recorder with an aspect ratio of 4:3, it now plays back in 16:9. I have tried changing all of the settings I can think of, but can't figure it out.

    I'm guessing it's not the DVD recorder as there was never a problem with 4:3 on the Pace box. Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated.

    I just tried switching the scarts Ranicand, but unfortunately it didn't work. The 4:3 fullscreen programme is still playing back widescreen. It has me totally baffled, I've only ever had to figure out how to play back a recording in widescreen before.
