Image Aspect Ratio
74
The projector can display images in different width-to-height ratios called
aspect ratios. Normally, the input signal from your video source determines
the image's aspect ratio. However, for certain images you can change the
aspect ratio to fit your screen.
If you always want to use a particular aspect ratio for a certain video input
source, you can select it using the projector's Image menu.
