It's all defective. Sell it to me for $10. I need a system for the upstairs.

Or it could be a little thing called aspect ratio.

I Have to put the aspect ratio on zoom to fill the screen. I lose a lot of picture this way

If you chop off the sides by zooming in or the film editor chops off the sides in order to put it to on a 16:9 aspect ratio disc you lose the same amount...right?

The idea is to present the movie as it was originally filmed. Black bars are your friend. Read the box. It lists the aspect ratio of the film. How can a 2.35:1 movie fit on a 16:9 set without black bars?
