They are not the same thing. The 'Zoom' feature on Toshiba DVD players does not accomplish the same thing that the Panasonic RP91 can do. The RP91 scales the image to be properly proportioned on a 16:9 display. Though the terms seem to be used interchangeably, they are not the same.
There was a huge discussion over at AVS Forum about this. Semantically, the two words refer to the same end process. It's just that most DVD players that scale do it a hell of a lot better than TVs do.
