You know how there are explanations for the letterbox not having as much resolution as anamorphic? You know, they say the letterbox image uses the black bar area for some of the picture info. Is this the reason a 1:85 pic in anamorphic is taller than the same in letterbox. Because that extra 20...

Chung, that was quite a display, it must have taken you quite a bit of time. Thank you. Can you please explain to me the difference in your example of 1:85 x 16:9 x Non-Anamorphic(8) and 1:85 X 16:9 X Anamorphic(6). How can your 2 examples actually be 1:85 when they are of different shapes or...

John, Examples would be "Panic Room" and "Pearl Harbor".

Mike, sorry, I forget something. The comment you made about the trailer(letterboxed) should be displayed in "Theaterwide-II" This is my main point. Why is it right in mode II? I believe the trailer is true 2:35. Using Mode II will expand the top and bottom, therefore, there's more viewable...

Mike, you are right. I just got used to "Theaterwide-I, mainly because I use it for 4:3 material. But in fact the full mode is correct. I went into "Avia" "widescreen Enhanced". It clearly shows the even spacing of the squares in full, while Theaterwide-I has smaller boxes near the center...

Thanks for all the responses. I have heard a lot about the Tosh "Full" and Stretch I modes. I personally like stretch I on anamorphic because its distorts the least. Full makes them look too fat. Anyway both modes have the full picture on the screen. Chung, I think you are wrong about your...

Steve, Thanks for your response. I tried Panic Room in both 16:9 Normal and Auto. Same exact size pic . By the way, I'm not in zoom. I'm in the full mode with little or no overscan. One thing I did notice the Teaser Trailer in 16:9 normal had black bars all around, but in Auto it was across the...

By the way guys, I just noted the picture of "2001" on Jack Briggs #3 post. That is a 2:35 picture and that is what should be seen in 16:9 auto! If it does appear this way you can see that there would be large black bars top and bottom. This is the ratio I only get in 4:3 letterbox from my...

One other thing, why do you assume the aspect ratios are different bewtween letterbox mode and 16:9 auto. Why should there be a difference? I believe there should not be a difference! Secondly, in the "Avia" disc, there is an aspect ratio area where different aspect ratio screens are shown...

Jeff, I am not using zoom modes because you lose too much picture information. I use a full mode where 98-99% of the picture is displayed.

Gentlemen, I still disagree with you. A widescreen 16:9 set has an aspect ratio of 1.78. Anything greater than 1:78 should have some black bars, like 1:85. My overscan is 2%. That is not enough to fill the screen. I would like to stress that the DVD disc in anamorphic is suppossed to display the...

Thanks guys for your reply. My set is 16.9. If a 1:85 pic would go from top to bottom on my set, it would also do so in letterboxed form, but it doesnt' Besides a 2:35 pic has a lot of black bar area top to bottom. There's no way my set could be ovescanning that much. Besides, the 2:35 on my...

I have a JVC player. It works OK but it doesn't dispay the correct aspect ratios. When setup in 16:9 auto modes it displays a 2:35 move as 1:85 and a 1:85 movie taking up the entire wide screen with no blacksbars top and bottom. There should be a small amount of black top and bottom at 1:85. In...
