the horizontal direction. Signals with an aspect ratio
where the pictures are taller than with a ratio of 16:9
will be displayed with their bottom areas cut off.
V FIT:
Pictures are displayed using all the panel pixels in
the vertical direction. Signals with an aspect ratio
where the pictures are wider than with a ratio of
16:9 will be displayed with their left and right areas
cut off.
HV FIT:
Pictures are displayed using all the panel pixels.
If the aspect ratios of the input signals and panel
differ, the pictures are displayed with the aspect
ratio converted to the 16:9 aspect ratio of the panel.
VID AUTO:
The projector identifies the video ID (VID)
embedded in the picture signals and displays the
picture by automatically switching the screen sizes
between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is effective for
the NTSC signal input.
S1 AUTO:
The projector identifies the S1 signal and displays
the picture by automatically switching the screen
sizes between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is
effective for S-Video NTSC signals.
VID AUTO (PRI.):
The projector identifies the abovementioned VID or
S1 signals and displays the picture by automatically
choosing the screen sizes of 4:3 or 16:9 according
to the VID if it is detected or S1 signals if a VID is
not detected. This function is effective for S-Video
NTSC signals.
*1: Standard signals are input signals with an aspect
ratio of 4:3 or 5:4.
*2: Wide-screen signals are input signals with an
aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10.
Note
Some size modes are not available for certain types
of input signals. For NTSC signals, “DEFAULT”
cannot be selected.
If an aspect ratio which is different from the aspect
ratio for the input signals is selected, the pictures
will appear differently from the originals. Be careful
of this when selecting the aspect ratio.
If using this projector in places such as cafes or
hotels to display programmes for a commercial
purpose or for public presentation, note that
adjusting the aspect ratio or using the zoom
function to change the screen pictures may be an
infringement of the rights of the original copyright
owner for that programme under copyright
protection laws.
If conventional (normal) 4:3 pictures which are
not wide-screen pictures are displayed on a wide
screen, the edges of the pictures may not be visible
or they may become distorted. Such pictures
should be viewed as with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in
the original format intended by the creator of the
pictures.
