Selecting the aspect ratio
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector
can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of
the image input signal.
To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
• Using the remote control
1.
Press Aspect to show the current setting.
2.
Press Aspect repeatedly to select an aspect ratio to
suit the format of the video signal and your display
requirements.
• Using the OSD menu
1.
Press Menu/Exit and then press
/
until the
DISPLAY menu is selected.
2.
Press
to select Aspect Ratio.
3.
Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and
your display requirements.
About the aspect ratio
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white
portions are active areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused
black areas.
1.
Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the
projector's native resolution in its horizontal or
vertical width. This is suitable for the incoming
image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you
want to make most use of the screen without
altering the image's aspect ratio.
2.
Real: The image is projected as its original
resolution, and resized to fit within the display
area. For input signals with lower resolutions,
the projected image will display smaller than if
resized to full screen. You could adjust the
zoom setting or move the projector towards
the screen to increase the image size if
necessary. You may also need to refocus the
projector after making these adjusents.
3.
4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the
center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This
is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer
