Zoom
The “Zoom” button zooms in or out of the displayed
frame and also changes the aspect ratio (image
width vs. Height). To change the zoom level, press
the “Zoom” button on the remote control. Each
press of the “Zoom” button will switch the zoom
level in the following sequence:
• 1:1 (No zooming.)
The zoom level is reset to 1:1 when the disc is
ejected, or when the player is turned off.
• Stretch – This zoom mode stretches and distorts
the image. It is not recommended except in one
specific situation.
When playing a widescreen (16:9) disc and the
player is set to
16:9 Wide/Auto, the image is
vertically stretched by 1.33 times. For movies
with 2.35:1 aspect ratio, this zoom level cuts off
the black borders at the top and bottom of the
image. This mode is only for users of projectors
with an anamorphic lens.
• Full Screen – This zoom mode stretches the
image in both the horizontal and vertical
dimensions, thereby cutting off part of the
original picture. It is not recommended except
in one specific situation.
Some early DVD titles (released from 1997
until early 2000’s) use a 4:3 non-anamorphic
widescreen aspect ratio (“letterbox” format).
When the player is set to
16:9 Wide/Auto, the
content is shown in a small window with black
