NORMAL: projects the image occupying the full height of the 
screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. 
When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands 
are displayed on the right and left of the picture.

ANAMORPHIC: correctly displays a 16:9 image.

LETTERBOX: serves to display a 4:3 letterbox image (with source 
signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that 
it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio. 

PANORAMIC: widens the 4:3 image and cuts off a strip from the 
top and bottom. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image 
on the 16:9 screen of the Display.

SUBTITLES: raises the image, thus making space for subtitles.

PIXEL TO PIXEL: runs a pixel to pixel mapping of any image, without 

adapting to the screen. The image is projected in the centre 

of the screen and if its horizontal and/or vertical dimensions 

are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or 

horizontal black bands.

USER 1, 2, 3: use this option if none of the others are satisfactory. 
The User formulas give you the ability to continuously adjust the 
picture size horizontally and vertically.
 

COLOR TEMPERATURE

Changes the colour balance of the image. 
The colour temperature setting is made by setting the white point 
in the CIE chromaticity diagram. The system enables you to set 
the white point in a grid of 36 points in the neutral colour zone 
(Fig. 23). 
Moving it horizontally changes the correlated colour tempe-
rature, with the low temperatures to the right (more red) and 
high temperatures to the left (more blue). The points on the 
lowest horizontal line (Fig.24) represent the colours on the black 
body curve.
There is 4 predefined colour temperature setting and another
USER setting that allows the manual regulation.

- HIGHT - MEDIUM - LOW
- LIGHT BOOST 

(no correction, maximum possible light)

- USER

Selecting the NO option causes the de-interlacer to apply a 

Motion compensated algorithm optimized for video camera 

signals.

NOiSE REDUCTiON 

This adjustment serves to select the noise reduction filter va-

lue.

In this latter case, simply click on the slider and set the value 

with the 

◀ 

and 

 keys on the remote control. 

iMAgE

This  menu  features  adjustments  relating  to  picture  position, 

aspect ratio, magnification etc.

ASPECT

This  adjustment  allows  you  to  change  the  dimensions  and 

aspect  ratio  (relationship  between  width  and  height)  of  the 

displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and 

three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You 

can select a different aspect for each source: the selected 

aspect ratio will be automatically applied the next time the 

relative source is called.

You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly 

pressing the  key 

, or by pressing 

 and a numerical key 

(1...8).The following aspects are available:
