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 “x1.33” zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.

Subtitle Shift

SUBTITLE

For customers using a 2.35:1 “Constant Image Height” video projection system, subtitles may get cut off because they are positioned outside of the active video area. The Subtitle Shift feature can be useful to these customers. The player can shift subtitles up or down so they are displayed within the active video area.
