Choosing the aspect ratio

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. When in 4:3 mode the projector places black bars on both sides of the image. Native mode centers the image and turns off the internal scaler so that any resolution larger than the native projector resolution is cropped on the edges. Letterbox expands the image to fill the screen.

What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. For example, most low definition TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a 16:9 screen, then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies and HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using 4:3, Native, or Natural Wide for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television. Natural Wide stretches a 4:3 image to fill the entire 16:9 screen. The center two-thirds of the image is unchanged; the edges of the image are stretched.

Cable Management

The HDP6000 features an integrated cable management system that allows you to keep the cables organized. To use the cable management system, thread the cables into the slots as shown in the illustration.

Video Quality

The first step for connecting video is determining what type of output connectors your source video device has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest, is:

1.HDMI.

2.Component (RCAs)

3.S-video

4.Composite Video (RCA)

If your device has a VGA connector, you can use the VGA connector for a high-quality image. Many PC game systems have VGA connectors.
