The more I look at it the more I think it is just that the frame around the CRT is hiding some of the viewable area. You think it's cropping, but it's actually showing the picture correctly, only you can't see it because the outer inch of the tube is covered. You're comparing it to a LCD where you get the whole viewing area, and you think you are missing somthing.
However, if it was just I think that you should see more if you go to 3:4. Maybe your DVD player is not set to output to a widescreen, and so is outputting at 4:3 or letterbox and the TV is then expanding it up to fill the screen?
