•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 S or T button on the remote control.
•OVER SCAN in the SIGNAL menu is not available in the STRETCH mode.
•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.
