BWhen “WSS” is set to “ON”(page 46), the projector switches the aspect ratio automatically if the input signal has a detector signal.
B“WIDE” is displayed on the screen when “ASPECT” is set automatically (when “WSS” is set to “ON”). Press the ASPECT button to switch the aspect ratio.
BThe aspect ratios for the following signals are fixed, and cannot be changed. (Refer to page 58.) 1 125 (1 080) /60i, 1 125 (1 080) /50i, 750 (720) /60p, 750 (720) /50p, WIDE
*WIDE768 signals can be set to “V SCROLL”.
NOTE:
BIf a selected mode does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal, it may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture.
BIf using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display programmes for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that if the aspect ratio selection function is used to change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights of the original copyright owner for that programme under copyright protection laws.
BIf a 4:3 picture is projected onto a 16:9 screen, distortion may occur around the edges of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Programmes which have 4:3 aspect ratios should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and intentions of the original programme’s creator.
BImage sizes such as
B“AUTO” will be displayed according to the type of the signals being input. When set to “AUTO”, the projector switches the aspect ratio automatically if the input signal has a detector signal.
BYou can also change the aspect ratio from the “POSITION” menu.
BWhen set to “V SCROLL”, vertical position can be adjusted by pressing the G and
Fbuttons (close the “POSITION” menu screen before adjusting vertical position).
