its horizontal width and resize the picture’s height to the 3/4 of the
projection width. This may produce a picture greater in height than
can be displayed, so part of the picture is lost (not displayed) along the
top and bottom edges of the projection. This is suitable for the display
of movies which are presented in letter box format (with black bars
on the top and bottom).
The black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active
areas.
OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
Freezing the image
Press FREEZE on the remote control to freeze the image. The word "FREEZE" will display in the lower

Even if an image is frozen on the screen, the pictures played are still running on the device where the
pictures are played. If the connected devices have active audio output, you will still hear the audio even
though the image is frozen on the screen.
