I've looked many times. The settings for the TV's widescreen mode are "Off" and "Auto". "Auto" looks for a signal of some nature from the DVD player (or other source, I suppose). When I set the DVD player to 16:9 mode, it still sends 4:3 to the TV when the disc tells it to. That is, many DVDs switch back and forth, often with only the movie being in 16:9 and the menus being in 4:3. Even when the menus are 16:9, I don't think I've ever seen any extras that get displayed 16:9.
