Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.

To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):

1.Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.

2.Press to highlight Aspect Ratio.

3.Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.

1.Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector's native resolution in its horizontal or

vertical width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want 4:3 picture

to make most use of the screen without altering the image's aspect ratio.

16:9 picture
