Title: Beware...
Product review: I bought one of these yesterday. It is the new version that has a 4:3 selection. That works just fine. BUT the bigger issue is that this box will not play ANY 16:9 standard Apple formatted file properly. You cannot download an iTunes wide screen video (wide screen TV, for example) and fill the screen. The unit really wants a 4:3 anamorphic file which is not an Apple standard. So whether you hack a movie with Handbrake or download one from iTUnes, if it is widescreen it will not play properly. Every widescreen movie will be smashed with black bars above and below.This is to be expected for movies with a 2.35 aspect ratio. But for movies with a 1.85 aspect ratio, they should fill this screen. They will not. I am returning my unit since Sonic is apparently not going to warrant this engineering flaw under their 1 year warranty.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
