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

ξSome 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.

ξThe 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.
