[QUOTE="KevinL, post: 2776646, member: 223265"] There are different film sizes which directors choose based either because of budget restraints or simply for the look they are going for. So some film sizes will be wider aspect ratios and you will get black bars on the top of the screen. You cannot fit a wider aspect ratio film on a 16:9 aspect ratio screen without cutting down the image size. 1.78 to 1 will fill 16:9 aspect ratio TV screens perfectly, 2;35 to 1 will have black bars on the screen. Sure you can use the zoom feature, but honestly i would strongly suggest you get used to it. One you know your getting the best picture quality and you will not be cutting off any part of the picture. with the zoom feature because it zooms in it will both cut off part of the picture to make it fit on the screen and will add significant noise to the picture which defeats the whole purpose of blu ray. It is normal and this way you know your getting the best picture. Kevin 40 years high end audio video specialist [/QUOTE]
