*1

[Auto] cannot be selected for the aspect setting if the input signal type is [VIDEO].

 

*2

If an image from image software with aspect ratio of 16:9 is not projected correctly, select [16:9]

*3

as screen aspect.

 

If you project the 16:9 image with black borders at top and bottom such as in the terrestrial movie

broadcasting, you can project the 16:9 image fully on the screen by selecting [Zoom] in [Aspect].

[Zoom] is available when [16:9] or [16:9 D. image shift] is selected for the screen aspect and [HDMI (480p)(SX80)], [COMPONENT (480p, 480i)], [VIDEO] or [S-VIDEO (SX80)] is selected for the input signal.

*4 To perform keystone adjustment (P58), select [4:3] or [16:9] for [Screen aspect].
