Advanced Operations
1:1 “Stretch” Zoom
“Full Screen” Zoom
Note
• Some early DVD titles (released from 1997 until early 2000s) 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 this type of discs the “Full
Screen” zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.
4) Playing 16:9 BD or DVD when “TV Aspect Ratio” is set to
“4:3 Pan/Scan”
• 1:1 – The player disregards the aspect ratio and fills the 4:3
screen. Figures may look taller and narrower than they
should be.
• Letterbox – The player maintains the correct 16:9 aspect ratio
and adds borders to the top and bottom of the image.
• Full Screen – The player maintains the correct aspect ratio but
crops the left and right slightly in order to fit the 16:9 image
to the 4:3 screen.
