• Full Screen – The image is stretched by 1.33 times for both vertical and horizontal directions. For movies with 2.35:1 aspect ratio,
this zoom level cuts off the black borders at the top and bottom of the image while maintaining the correct aspect ratio. The left and
right sides of the image are slightly cropped.
2) Playing 4:3 BD or DVD when “TV Aspect Ratio” is set to “16:9 Wide”
• 1:1 - The image lls up the entire 16:9 screen but is horizontally stretched. Figures may look shorter and wider than they should be.
• Compress – The player maintains the correct 4:3 aspect ratio and adds borders to the left and right sides of the image. The brightness
level of the borders can be set by the “Border Level” setting in the “Picture Adjustment” section of the Setup Menu.
• Full Screen – This zoom level maintains the correct aspect ratio but crops the top and bottom slightly in order to t the 4:3 image to
the 16:9 screen.
3) Playing 4:3 BD or DVD when “TV Aspect Ratio” is set to “16:9 Wide/Auto”
• 1:1 – The player maintains the correct 4:3 aspect ratio and adds borders to the left and right sides of the image.
• Stretch – The image is horizontally stretched by 1.33 times. This zoom level lls up the 16:9 screen, but gures may look shorter
and wider than they should be.
• Full Screen – This zoom level maintains the correct aspect ratio but crops the top and bottom slightly in order to t the 4:3 image to
the 16:9 screen.
The “Under Scan” zoom level shrinks the image by 5%. This zoom level may be used to compensate for TVs that over scan, so the viewer
can see the entire image area with no cropping. All other zoom levels are indicated by their respective zoom ratio.
NOTE: Some early DVD titles (released from 1997 until early 2000’s) use a 4:3 non-anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio. When played
on a 16:9 display, the content is shown in a small window with black borders on all four sides. The top and bottom borders are encoded
into the video. The left and right borders are added by the player to maintain the correct aspect ratio. For these types of discs, the Full
Screen zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders. The ZOOM feature may not be available when certain DVD or Blu-ray Discs
are played if the disc’s author has chosen to disable ZOOM.
