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

x 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 these types

of discs, the Full Screen zoom mode can be used to eliminate the borders.

x The 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.
