Aspect ratios in native HDTV DVD sources

What can be done ?

The aspect ratio setting forces the projector to project an image using a de

ned aspect ratio :

•

Auto

•

4:3

•

16:9

•

16:10

•

5:4

•

Custom

The settings do not refer to the aspect ratio of the source !

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).

When in presence of a native HDTV source it is recommended to set the projector to 16:9 or Auto.

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

les whereas Custom allows to set a

personnel ratio.

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