Examples of the aspect ratio
You can change the aspect ratio of the input video signal (or the ratio of width to height of the image). Display pattern changes according to the
setting of SCREEN ASPECT in the INITIAL menu. The following table is in the case of 16:9 screen. Change the setting according to the type
of the input video signal.
*1: Available only when the input signal is 480p or 576p.
*1: When ASPECT is set to SUBTITLE ZOOM or ZOOM, display position can be changed with the or button on the remote control.
*2: OVER SCAN and BLACK MASK in the SIGNAL menu are not available in the SMART ZOOM mode.
• Bold frames are recommended modes.
• This projector is equipped with a function to change the aspect ratio. If you select an aspect ratio that is inconsistent with that of the input signal, images around the screen edges
may be hidden or deformed. When viewing original video works reflecting the authors’ intentions, you are recommended to keep their aspect ratios unchanged.
• It may be an infringement of the rights protected by the copyright law to project images compressed or enlarged by changing the aspect ratio in public areas, such as inside and
outside shops and hotels, for commercial or public viewing purposes.
