When the DVD picture does not fill the whole screen, can we zoom the picture? Any issues with zoom function?

I gave the unit to a friend last Christmas. As I recall, there was a button on the remote (aspect ratio maybe??) that changed how the picture filled the screen. May have to hit it several times to get proper proportions.

my picture does not fill screen the entire way either. It is 4" on each side.

Did You ever get an answer on this. I have the same deal, including 4:3 aspect DVDs which are stretched to what I call "fatscreen". I have fussed with everything imaginable. If you have an answer, please email me at <michael.steeno@us.army.mil>

DVD Shrink highly compresses video sometimes to the point it will look bad when being upconverted because it is lowering the quality too much trying to shrink a 8-9 gb dvd onto a 4.7gb dvd.I wouldn't jump to blame that on the player. How does it play professional quality dvd's?DVD+R copies made a 100% resolution? then you can compare

No matter in what format the program is broadcast, the "normal" picture format should get the full picture. Some programs are not broadcast so that the entire screen is filled with a picture, making it tempting to either partial or fully zoom. Any "zooming", whether partial or full, will result in loss of edges of the picture. If you are not seeing the edges of the picture in the normal format, something is not right. Hope this helps.

Sadly I don't have the software installed on my Laptop any longer. It did not run full screen on that unit. But on my Surface it runs full screen no problem. If you have to go into properties and see if you can tell it to run at full screen.

Sorry, can't help. We use the machine for DVD only and so far have not encountered this issue.

Progressive Scan DVD players are not upconverting so I would suggest an upconverting dvd player with and HDMI cable for best results on your lcd

Turn the DVD player on with no disk in the player. Hold the stop button down until the picture returns. This is not in the documenttation. I set it on PAL and then I couldn't get it back to NTSC. The above procedure worked for me.

Hi. I just bought one of these myself and have a 40 inch Samsung HD- LCD tv and I have noticed this same thing and it will look like this on some DVD's. I put the player on "Dynamic 2" setting under "adjusting the playback picture" found on page 33 of the manual and it makes the picture a little better. Try that out and I hope it helps! Jay

You can change the image size by moving the projector closer or further from the screen (or white wall). I can fill up a portable widescreen screen easily. The resolution is good too. I deal in detail so it's important to keep the detail more than the size.

I'm not sure. I think the screen I project onto is about that size but the image doesn't FILL the screen. But I've just tried projecting slides, etc., from my laptop for a class; I haven't tried projecting movies yet.

Hello FolkFan! I watch movies in widescreen (16:9) format all the time without a problem. Now, keep in mind that I am using an Xbox 360 as the video source and that the Xbox does allow me to output in different formats. I would think that most dvd players you would buy today would have options for widescreen output. I hope this answers the question! -Dave

If your Dvd has composite input for recording, I guess this works. Just remind laptop screen is good for low resolution such as 320x240 or 640x480 which are used for retro console emulators full screen output by direct 3d. Normal windows screen is too high resolution even if it is 800x600 to see the characters they will be blurred c

Actually Alan, your widescreen movie presentation is determined by the DVD movie you are playing - or sometimes the settings available in the setup selection on the menu screen of the movie. There is full screen and wide screen, as well as letterbox. Check the package on your next movie rental or purchase for 'wide screen' version. As mentioned you can adjust the TV screen to compensate, but it doesn't always look right. Hope this helps.

There are three pages of zoom instructions with illustrations, and here are the basic settings: No zoom &gt; Stretch, Letterbox, Pillar Box &gt; Full Screen &gt; Under Scan &gt; 1.2 &gt; 1.3 &gt; 1.5 &gt; 2.0 &gt; 1/2 &gt; Back to 1:1 again. I like the fact that I can maintain the proper aspect ratio when playing older movies and TV programs from DVD. If there's X/Y scaling, I haven't found it but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I don't know where to look. :-)
