In the home set up a Blu-ray Disc is 'flat' ('un-squeezed') and has to be digitally manipulated to make it 'squeezed' so that the lens can 'un-squeeze' it.
A small difference, but as I say, just for the purposes of clarity.

I get your point Steve, but I just wanted to impress upon potential buyers that the AE3000/4000 do not have an anamorphic lens to un-squeeze any 'stretched' (by whatever means VP/PJ or even anamorphic DVD) image. Some people seem to have been confussed into thinking that the AE3000/4000 are doing something they are not and I feel it only fair to explain that it is only a convienient way to do the zoom method.
Sorry for dragging this thread off topic, hope that's answered the comments though, cheers.
