Widescreen vs 4:3

[BenBrown]

Is there a fix for this scenario? I insert a standard 4:3(full screen) DVD into the Z110BT, which has been updated with the new software and map updates, and it always stretches the picture to fill the screen where the picture is not supposed to be widescreen(16:9). There should be black on either side allowing the picture to be viewed normally like any other DVD player. In the DVD settings I have the "TV aspect ratio" set to 16:9. I have tried all three settings and still stretches the picture.

Either turn of the widescreen or try the 4:3

Where is this setting or are you talking about the DVD settings?

Lifted from the User's Manual - always a good place to start.

 

Changing the wide screen mode

- Touch [Wide Mode] on the “AV System Settings” menu.

 

Each touch of [Wide Mode] changes the setting

as follows:

- Full (full)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3

TV picture (normal picture) without any omissions.

 

- Cinema (cinema)

A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as Full or Zoom in the horizontal direction

and by an intermediate proportion between Full and Zoom in the vertical direction;

ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture) where captions lie outside the frame.

 

- Zoom (zoom)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally;

ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture).

 

- Normal (normal)

A 4:3 picture is displayed normally, giving you no sense of disparity since its proportions

are the same as that of the normal picture.

 

Different settings can be stored for each video source.

The same setting is automatically applied for the following grouping.

DVD-V, DVD-VR, DivX

EXT1 and EXT2

AV1 and AV2

iPod

 

When video is viewed in a wide screen mode that does not match its original aspect

ratio, it may look strange.

 

The navigation map and the rear view camera picture is always viewed at Full.

Yes I did find it myself after posting the question. Thanks for the info
