APEX AD-1500 question?

i have a question maybe someone here can help with.

i am using my apex ad-1500 for the first time with a PAL DVD and the DVD isnt playing in widescreen, it is playing full screen. I have used other region DVDs before, NTSC ones and they play in widescreen, so im thinking this is a problem with PAL only. does the apex has issues like this with PAL discs? do i have a setting wrong or something? any help would be appreciated.

PS- i dont have another PAL disc yet to try it, i only have this one, which is The Spiral (Rasen) by Artsmagic R2 UK PAL. everywhere i checked, it is indeed in widescreen, not fullframe, and it plays widescreen on my DVD drive on my computer.

thanks.

There are many players that don't handle anamorphic downconversion of PAL -> NTSC correctly. I'm not sure if this only shows up on 4:3 screens though.
