Auto

The projector identifies the video ID 

(VID) embedded in the image signals 

and displays the image by automatically 

switching the screen sizes between 4:3 

and 16:9.

4:3

When standard signals*1 are input, the 

pictures are displayed without changing 

the aspect ratio.

When wide-screen signals*2 are input, 

the pictures are displayed with the 

aspect ratio converted to 4:3.

16:9

When standard signals*1 are input, the 

pictures are displayed with the aspect 

ratio converted to 16:9.

When wide-screen signals*2 are input, 

the pictures are displayed without 

changing the aspect ratio.

16:10

This format is for 16:10 input sources, 

like wide screen laptop.

*1:  Standard signals are input signals with an aspect 

ratio of 4:3 or 5:4.

*2:  Wide-screen signals are input signals with an 

aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10.

 

Note

If an aspect ratio which is different from the aspect ratio 

 

z

differently from the originals. Be careful of this when 

selecting the aspect ratio.

If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to 

 

z

display programs for a commercial purpose or for public 

presentation, note that adjusting the aspect ratio or using 

the zoom function to change the screen pictures may 

be an infringement of the rights of the original copyright 

owner for that program under copyright protection laws. 

Take care when using a function of the projector such as 

the aspect ratio adjustment, zoom function, etc.

If conventional (normal) 4:3 pictures which are not wide-

 

z
