output resolution. Example: 1280 x 768 pixels is 1.66 (1280 divided by 768) and 1280 x 1024 pixels is 1.25 (1280 divided by 1024). This setting is normally used for non-standard display aspect ratios. In the case of 1280 x 768 pixels the ratio is 15:9 instead of 16:9

Define any custom display aspect ratio by selecting Customize and pressing the action button. The OSD will turn to the following page:

A slider value of x.xx relates to an actual aspect ratio of x.xx:1. For example, if the slider value is 1.50, that means you are setting an aspect ratio of 1.5:1

Use the Left/Right arrow remote control keys to adjust the slider

When OK is pressed on the remote control, the whole OSD is hidden and only the slider control is shown at the lower left corner of the display

Pressing Back on the remote control will return you to the full OSD, or simply press the Menu key to exit from OSD mode
