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.

			Resolution		Aspect Ratio
		VGA	640	× 480	4:3
		SVGA	800	× 600	4:3
		XGA	1024	× 768	4:3
		WXGA	1280	× 768	15:9
		WXGA	1280	× 800	16:10
		WXGA+	1440	× 900	16:10
		SXGA	1280	× 1024	5:4
		SXGA+	1400	× 1050	4:3
		UXGA	1600	× 1200	4:3
	Options				Function
AUTO	The projector will automatically determine the incoming signal and display it in its aspect

ratio. (→ next page)

	The projector may erroneously determine the aspect ratio depending on its signal. If this
	occurs, select the appropriate aspect ratio from the following.
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.
(P420X/P350X)	Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the left and right edges and therefore not
	visible.
LETTERBOX	The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical directions
(P350W)	to fit the screen. Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the top and bottom edges
	and therefore not visible.
NATIVE	The projector displays the current image in its true resolution when the incoming computer
	signal has a lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution.
		[Example 1] When the incoming sig-
		nal with the resolution of 800 × 600 is
		displayed on the P420X/P350X:
		[Example 2] When the incoming sig-
		nal with the resolution of 800 × 600 is
		displayed on the P350W:

NOTE:

•When a non-computer signal is displayed, the [NATIVE] is not available.

•When a signal with a higher resolution than the projector’s native resolution is displayed, [NATIVE] is not available.
