Question Scart Lead -> VHS Widescreen Issues

I recorded NCIS off C5 last week.... It shows in Widescreen, but when I play it back on my new Widescreen TV it plays in 4:3

TV is set to AUTO. I even changed to 16:9 but no difference. If I resize it with R/C after playing VHS its ok. Stop video for a phone call & its back to 4:3. I had this ones years ago on a OLDER TV. Someone told me I could cut 1 Wire in the Scart Lead to stop the signal swapping the size of screen

Anyone here have ideas? or any Tips?
Cheers

Re: Scart Lead -> VHS Widescreen Issues

do all tapes played back from the VHS do the same, JediMaster?

- just wondering if trying another scart lead would be worthwhile?
