The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only display one full screen at a time.

You can also manually cycle through the available input signals.

1.Press SOURCE on the projector or remote control. A source selection bar displays.

2.Press / until your desired signal is selected and press MODE/ENTER.

Once detected, the selected source information will display on the screen for seconds. If there is multiple equipment connected to the projector, repeat steps 1-2to search for another signal.

The native display resolution of this projector is in a 16:9 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, you should select and use an input signal which outputs at this resolution. Any other resolutions will be scaled by the projector depending upon the 'aspect ratio' setting, which may cause some image distortion or loss of picture clarity. See "Selecting the aspect ratio" on page 32 for details.

To do this:

1.Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the PICTURE: Advanced menu is highlighted.

2.Press to highlight Color Space Conversion and press / to select the setting.

This function is only available when the HDMI input jack is in use.
