Aspect Ratio Setting Details
For details about how the aspect ratio setting affects the projected image, see “Aspect Ratio Setting
and Projection Image” (page 77).
You can use the procedure below to enter the Mirror Mode, which flips the projected image
horizontally.
1.
While projection from an input source is being performed, press the [INPUT] key.
This displays the input menu. The input source that is currently being projected will be
selected on the menu.
2.
Press the [
] or [
] key to enter the Mirror Mode.
This exits the input menu and flips the image.
A Mirror Mode icon will be in the upper right corner of the projection screen while the projector
is in the Mirror Mode.
3.
To exit the Mirror Mode, press the [ESC] key.
Pressing any key other than [BLANK], [FREEZE], [D-ZOOM +], [D-ZOOM –], [], or
[VOLUME –] will also exit the Mirror Mode.
Note
Operation of the keys below is enabled while in the Mirror Mode.
[
P
], [BLANK], [FREEZE], [D-ZOOM +], [D-ZOOM –], [], [VOLUME –]
The [] and [VOLUME –] keys can be used to adjust the volume level, but not to
mute the audio.
Normal
Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size while maintaining the input signal aspect ratio.
Full
Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size by enlarging or reducing the input signal.
16:9
This setting specifies a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the same as a movie screen, high-definition TV, etc.
Using this setting when the input signal is a 16:9 image that has been squeezed to a 4:3 image causes
the image to be displayed with its normal 16:9 aspect ratio.
16:10
This setting specifies a 16:10 aspect ratio. Use this setting to adjust the image for projection onto a
16:10 aspect ratio screen.
4:3
Regardless of the input signal aspect ratio, the image is always resized to an aspect ratio of 4:3 for
projection.
True
Projects each input source dot as a projector output pixel dot. If the input signal resolution exceeds
the projector’s output resolution, the excess is cut off. When projecting while “True” is selected as the
aspect ratio setting for an RGB signal with a resolution that is less than SVGA, the image is enlarged to
SVGA and projected.
Letter Box
This will resize the image horizontally to 1280 dots and project 800 vertical dots of the center of the
image, maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal.
