Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect
Appendix
When Projecting an Image from Image Software
To project an image such as an image shot by a TV set, commercially available DVD soft-
ware, or video camcorder (input signal [HDMI], [VIDEO], [COMPONENT]), select an
aspect ratio according to the image software format as follows.
* The image is projected on the 16:9 or 4:3 screen.
• [Auto] cannot be selected for the aspect setting if the input signal type is [VIDEO].
• If an image from image software with aspect ratio of 16:9 is not projected correctly,
select [16:9] as screen aspect.
• If you project the 16:9 image with black borders at top and bottom such as in the terres-
trial movie broadcasting, you can project the 16:9 image fully on the screen by select-
ing [Zoom] in [Aspect].
[Zoom] is available when [16:10], [16:9] or [16:9 D. image shift] is selected for the
screen aspect and [HDMI (480p)], [COMPONENT (480p, 480i)], or [VIDEO] is selected
for the input signal.
• To perform keystone adjustment (
), select [4:3] or [16:9] for [Screen aspect].
