    Toshiba's (on my SD9200) zoom actually softens up the image quite a bit. Maybe it doesn't show up on small TV's, but on a 100" projector, it is quite annoying. It doesn't do linear scaling, but staggers the edge to give it a feathered look. Something like:

    From:
    xx
    xxxx
    xxxxxx

    To:
    xxxx
    xxx
    xxxxxx
    xxxxx
    xxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxx

    Instead of:
    xxxx
    xxxxx
    xxxxxx
    xxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxx

    Take

  Why did you buy DVD when VCR was better?

  • If you use your DVD to have rock solid freeze frame... - thebland 21:01:52 03/26/02 (0)

    so that you could pause at every nude scene and give johnny a workout, make sure you get a VCR that has digital freeze frame.

    There is no VCR with seamless A-B repeat for the times when johnny is tired or worn out and needs some extra incentive by watching the whole scene continuously instead of just staring at a still image.

  • Second that. Sounds like a VCR will give you what you want. - thegage 17:19:29 03/26/02 (0)

    Zooming a letterboxed DVD to fill your screen will give you less than VHS quality. If you don't want to see movies the way they were shot/intended to be shown, you have more full-frame options with VHS.

  My old Toshiba had the zoom go away when pushing on then off (twice).

    I left out an important word in my above post. It's the setup button that needs pushing twice.
