Changing the Aspect Ratio (Aspect)
The "aspectg" is the ratio between an image's length and its height. With this projector, you can switch the ratio by using the [Aspect] button on the remote
control. The aspect ratio can be set in six modes; "Auto", "Normal", "16:9", "Full", "Zoom", and "Through". By switching the aspect, you can set the best
projection for a given input signal. To set up, refer to the following explanation.
f "Auto"
With the "Auto" setting, projection mode is switched according to the signal, as follows.
• 4:3 input signal: Normal
• Squeeze-recorded input signal: 16:9
• Letterboxing input signal: Zoom
*1 The "Auto" cannot be used for images from a computer and some component video signals.
*2 "Normal" is applied if the connected device does not conform to EIAJ standards.
f "Normal", "16:9", "Zoom"
The input signal, recommended aspect mode and the operation are as shown in the following table.
