For Widescreen Content
Many popular DVD titles are ‘Anamorphic’ (widescreen); however, there are two predominant ‘Anamorphic’ (widescreen) aspect ratios: 2.35:1 and 1.85:1.When 2.35:1 content is displayed on this 16:9 widescreen display, you will notice smaller black bars on top or bottom of the screen.When a 1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still see black bars, but not as large as 2.35:1.
If you do not want to see the black bars when playing back a widescreen movie, you can set to ZOOM 2 or ZOOM 3 to fully stretch the image.
ZOOM: 1
Zoom1 shifts the image up to facilitate the display of sub- titles.
ZOOM: 2
Zoom 2 is set to stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.
ZOOM: 3
Zoom 3 is set to stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.
Notes:
1.4:3 and Panorama modes are not available when zoom mode is engaged.
2.When using Component 1 and Component 2 inputs to display 480p, 1080i or 720p, Panorama mode is not available.
3.When using RGB or DVI inputs, only 4:3, 16:9 and an additional 4:3 Zoom modes are available. In this 4:3 Zoom mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but is stretched to full screen in both horizontal and vertical directions, so the top and bottom of the image will be invisible.
4.Do not stay in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this may cause a permanent after- image to remain on your screen.
