2.Press ◄► to switch “ASPECT”.

•The setting will change as follows each time ◄► is pressed.

•	S4:3*1:
	Select when using a 16:9 screen.
•	H FIT*2:
	Pictures are displayed using all the panel pixels in
	the horizontal direction. Signals with an aspect ratio
	where the pictures are taller than with a ratio of 16:9
	will be displayed with their bottom areas cut off.
•	HV FIT:
	Pictures are displayed on the whole panel pixels.
	If the aspect ratio of the input signals is different
	from that of the panel, the pictures are displayed
	by converting it into the panels aspect ratio (4:3 for
	PT-D10000U and 16:9 for PT-DW10000U).
•	VID AUTO:
	The projector identifies the video ID (VID)
	embedded in the picture signals and displays the	Operation
	picture by automatically switching the screen sizes
	between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is effective for
	the NTSC signal input.
•	S1 AUTO:
	The projector identifies the S1 signal and displays
	the picture by automatically switching the screen
	sizes between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is
	effective for S-Video NTSC signals.

• VID AUTO (PRIORITY):	Basic
The projector identifies the abovementioned VID or
S1 signals and displays the picture by automatically
choosing the screen sizes of 4:3 or 16:9 according
to the VID if it is detected or S1 signals if a VID is
not detected. This function is effective for S-Video
NTSC signals.

*3: Standard signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4.

*4: Wide-screen signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10.

Note

•DEFAULT:

Pictures are displayed without changing the aspect ratio of the input signals.

•THROUGH:

Pictures are displayed without changing the resolution of the input signals.

•16:9*1:

When standard signals are being input*3, pictures are displayed with the aspect ratio converted to 16:9. When wide-screen signals are being input*4, pictures are displayed with the aspect ration of the input signals unchanged.

•4:3*2:

When standard signals are being input*3, pictures are displayed with the aspect ration of the input signals unchanged. When wide-screen signals are being input*4, the PT-D10000U displays the pictures with the aspect ratio converted to 4:3. The PT-DW10000U displays the pictures with the aspect ratio unchanged, but reduces the size of the pictures so that they fit within the 4:3 projection area.

• Some size modes are not available for certain types of input signals. For NTSC signals, “DEFAULT” cannot be selected.

• If an aspect ratio which is different from the aspect ratio for the input signals is selected, the pictures will appear differently from the originals. Be careful of this when selecting the aspect ratio.

• If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display programmes for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that adjusting the aspect ratio or using the zoom function to change the screen pictures may be an infringement of the rights of the original copyright owner for that programme under copyright protection laws.

• If conventional (normal) 4:3 pictures which are not wide-screen pictures are displayed on a wide screen, the edges of the pictures may not be visible or they may become distorted. Such pictures should be viewed as with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in the original format intended by the creator of the pictures.
