•Bold frames are recommended modes.
•When ASPECT is set to AUTO, an optimum aspect ratio is automatically selected depending on the input signal.
• When ASPECT is set to ZOOM1 or ZOOM2, display position can be changed with or button on the remote control.
•When ZOOM1 or ZOOM2 is selected while 480i signal is input, the display area becomes smaller than that of other signals (such as 576i, 480p, and 576p).
•OVER SCAN and SHUTTER in the SIGNAL menu are not available in the STRETCH mode.
•Display pattern changes according to the setting of SCREEN SIZE in the IMAGE menu. The table above is in the case of “16:9.”
•This projector is equipped with a function to change the aspect ratio. If you select an aspect ratio that is inconsistent with that of the input signal, images around the screen edges may be hidden or deformed. When viewing original video works reflecting the authors’ intentions, you are recommended to keep their aspect ratios unchanged.
•It may be an infringement of the rights protected by the copyright law to project images compressed or enlarged by changing the aspect ratio in public areas, such as inside and outside shops and hotels, for commercial or public viewing purposes.
•In the REAL mode, images may be slightly enlarged due to overscan. Signals larger than the panel resolution in size are scaled down for display.
How to change the settings:
With the remote control:
1.Press the ASPECT button.
•Every time the ASPECT button is pressed, the aspect mode changes from AUTO to 4:3, to 16:9, to ZOOM1, to ZOOM2, to STRETCH, to REAL, and back to AUTO.
•When the keystone adjustment is applied, the REAL mode can not be selected.
•Some modes are not available with certain signals.
