Is there a way my new BeoVision 7's DVD/blu-ray player can detect 4:3 format discs? I have quite a few 4:3 DVD discs and find them stretched out to 16:9. In order to preserve proportions I have to dig down the menu system and adjust the picture manually. Can it be done automatically?

The TV should automatically select the correct format, but If it's the same as my BV8-40, format selection is manual. I use a PC (4:3) through S video and I have to manually select  format 1 every time when changing from another source. Pressing format>go (which optimised the picture on the BV3/Avant) does not work.
