There are 5 modes available for each input. These modes are with preset values
suitable for various projection purposes.

but lowest brightness. It is suitable for enjoying dark movie contents in a
totally dark environment.

ambient light is allowed when using the projector with this mode.

good for watching TV program, playing games or seeing bright movies.

2. Selecting aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is the ratio of image width to image height. HDTV and most
DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. Most TV shows are 4:3.
Change the image ratio using the Aspect buttons on the remote control or in Display > Aspect Ratio menu.
Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal. There are five aspect ratios available:
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas.
3. Other adjustments
You can adjust Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint settings using the Picture menu or with the remote
control.
Some picture adjustments are available only when certain input ports are in use. Unavailable
adjustments are not shown on the screen.
1. Anamorphic: Scales an
image so that it is
displayed in the center of
the screen with a 16:9
aspect ratio.
2. 4:3: Scales an image so
that it is displayed in the
center of the screen with
a 4:3 aspect ratio.
3. Letter Box: Enlarges an
image with letterbox
format to display it in
full-screen format with a
16:9 aspect ratio. The
upper and lower portions
of the image are cropped. Use this setting for
Cinemascope and Vista video wide screen formats.
4. Wide: A 4:3 aspect ratio image is enlarged
NON-linearly in horizontal direction to
accommodate 16:9 full-screen display. This
stretches only the right and left sides of the
image; the central part is unchanged.
5. Real: One-to-one mapping is performed on
the input signal without any scaling with
the image displayed at the center of the
screen.
