Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. You can choose Native, 4:3, 16:9, Letterbox, or Natural Wide. The default is 16:9. The goal is to show the most detail on the screen while preserving the ratio of width to height. The native resolution of the projec- tor is 1024x576. Use Native, 4:3 or Naural Wide for 4:3 input sources; use Native, 16:9 or Letterbox for 16:9 input. Pressing the Resize button on the remote cycles through these options.
Native: this mode bypasses the internal scaler, displaying the image with no resizing.
Since the native resolution is 1024x576 and 4x3 video images are approximately 640x480, 4x3 images will always be smaller than the dis- play and will be centered in the display. Computer images 1024x768 or smaller will also be centered in the display. If a 16x9 video source or a 1280x1024 or larger computer source is viewed, it will display up to 1024 pixels and 576 lines from the center of the input.
