5. Using
Selecting Aspect Ratio [ASPECT RATIO]
The term “aspect ratio” refers to the ratio of width to height of a projected image.
The projector automatically determines the incoming signal and displays it in its appropriate aspect ratio.
• This table shows typical resolutions and aspect ratios that most computers support.

| The projector may erroneously determine the aspect ratio depending on its signal. If this | ||||||||

4:3 | The image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio. | ||||||||
16:9 | The image is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio. | ||||||||
15:9 | The image is displayed in 15:9 aspect ratio. | ||||||||
16:10 | The image is displayed in 16:10 aspect ratio. | ||||||||
WIDE ZOOM | The image is stretched left and right. | ||||||||

NATIVE | The projector displays the current image in its true resolution when the incoming computer | ||||||||
