Zoom

Fit the image to the screen size (16:9 aspect ratio) by expanding 
the width and height of the image uniformly. 
With the input signals other than 1080p, 1080i or 720p, this 
function is used to project a letterboxed picture (the 4:3 aspect 
ratio picture with a black bar at the top and bottom) at the wide 
video aspect ratio of 16:9. 
When the input signal is 1080p, 1080i or 720p, a letterboxed 
picture in a 16:9 screen can be projected by expanding at the wide 
video aspect ratio of 16:9.
In the Zoom mode, you can also adjust the display range with 
the vertical adj. function. See “Vertical adj.” on the next page for 
details.

aspect ratio image is modified to fit the screen size (16:9 aspect 
ratio.)
When the video signal format is 1080p, 1080i, or 720p, the 4:3 
aspect ratio image in 16:9 signals is modified to fit the screen size 
(16:9 aspect ratio.)

Modify the 2.35:1 aspect ratio image in 16:9 signals to fit the 
screen size by stretching the image in a vertical direction. This 
function can be selected only when 1080i, 1080p, or 720p signals 
are selected.
In the Anamorphic mode, you can also adjust the display range 
with the vertical adj. function. See “Vertical adj.” on the next page
