•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, ZOOM2 or ANAMORPHIC1, 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.
•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.
•When SCREEN SIZE of ADVANCED MENU is set to CINEMA SCOPE(2.35:1) in the IMAGE menu, STRETCH, ANAMORPHIC1 and ANAMORPHIC2 cannot be selected for ASPECT.
