Original Image, 16:9 Aspect Ratio
H Zoom (Horizontal Zoom) Up:
This “H Zoom” feature is particularly useful for
Plasma displays, to stretch the image to fill the
screen and avoid the nasty burn-in. If the input signal is a Pillarbox, Horizontal Zoom extends (distorts)
the image from left to right to fill the screen. For
example, when a 4:3 movie is up-converted to
HDTV in a studio, it may be simply released in the
Pillarbox format, with black bars to the left and right
of the image in a 16:9 window.
V Zoom (Vertical Zoom) Up:
This “V Zoom” feature is particularly useful for some
Plasma displays, to stretch the image to fill the screen
and avoid the nasty burn-in. If the input signal is a
Letterbox, Vertical Zoom extends (distorts) the image
from top to bottom to fill the screen. For example, it is
very common for a widescreen DVD movie to be presented in Letterbox, because the original movie may be
captured in 2.35:1 Cinemascope or some other Aspect
Ratio that creates a small letterbox in a 16:9 window.
H&V Zoom Up:
This mode simultaneously stretches the image uniformly
in both the Horizontal and Vertical directions, using the
same ratios as in H Zoom and V Zoom. This Zoom mode
may be preferred over the H- or V-Zoom, both of which
geometrically distort the image. Because the image is
“Zoomed,” there will be a slight loss (cropping) of the
image at the top and bottom for Pillarbox sources, and at
the left and right for Letterbox sources. There is also a
slight processing of the image to scale-up the resolution.

IR REMOTE CONTROL
You can control all of the operations of your HD XplorerTM video card using the included IR
Remote Control. First be sure the HD XplorerTM video card is properly installed in your
Pioneer Plasma Display. Then, select “Input 3” using the Pioneer Plasma Display controls.
You are now ready to use your HD XplorerTM video card. Control of the HD XplorerTM video
card is simple, using the included IR Remote Control and following the on-screen display
(OSD) that is generated by the HD XplorerTM video card and viewed on your Pioneer Plasma
Display.
The HD XplorerTM IR Remote Control unit must be directed towards the Pioneer Plasma
Display for proper operation. The remote control unit may not operate if there are objects
placed between it and the display. When operating the remote control unit, point it at the
remote sensor located on the bottom right of the front panel of the Pioneer Plasma Display.
Replace weak batteries with new ones because operational distance will gradually become
shorter as the batteries begin to wear out.
