Selecting the aspect ratio
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog
and computers have a 4:3 aspect ratio, while digital TV and DVDs have 16:9 aspect
ratios. 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):
1. Open the OSD Menu and enter
Display
>
Aspect ratio
menu.
2. Press to select an aspect ratio that suits the format of the video signal and your
display requirements.
