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.
