Possible aspect ratio settings and their effect on different sources in the iQ.

We can conclude that the thumb rule for DVD projection is to always leave the projector in 4:3 format except when dealing with
anamorphic sources where the 16:9 setting allows the best reproduction.

The Auto function calculates an aspect ratio based on the information stored in the image files.

Selecting Auto in case of a Video source may shrink the image horizontally
