The available zoom level depends on the “TV Display” setting in the setup menu and the aspect ratio of the DVD disc. The following zoom levels may be useful for some special applications:
1) Playing 16:9 DVD when “TV Display” is set to “16:9 Wide” or “16:9 Wide/Auto”
•Stretch – 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. Users of projector with anamorphic lens may find this mode helpful.

2) Playing 4:3 DVD when “TV Display” is set to “16:9 Wide”
•1:1 - The image fills up the entire 16:9 screen but is horizontally stretched. Figures may look shorter and wider than they should be.
•Pillar Box – 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 “General Setup Page” of the setup menu.
•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.
