Selecting the aspect ratio
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. For SP840, the default
aspect ration is 16:9. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV and
DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can
dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image
input signal.
To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.
2. Press
to highlight Aspect Ratio.
3. Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your
display requirements.
