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.
