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 fills up the 16:9
screen, but figures 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 fit 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.
Zoom Levels for HDMI 2 & Analog (Component) Video Output
The following zoom levels are available when “
Primary Output
” is set to “
HDMI 2 & Analog
”:
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 this type of
discs the “Full Screen” zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.
•
Due to the dominance of wide screen, or 16:9 TV, NO specific ZOOM levels are provided for “
TV
Aspect Ratio
” of “
4:3 Letterbox
” or “
4:3 Pan & Scan
”.
NOTE
•
The ZOOM feature may not be available when certain DVD or Blu-ray Discs are played because
the disc author chooses to disable ZOOM.
