Selecting Aspect Ratio [ASPECT RATIO]
The term “aspect ratio” refers to the ratio of width to height of a projected image.
The projector automatically determines the incoming signal and displays it in its appropriate aspect ratio.
• This table shows typical resolutions and aspect ratios that most computers support.

The projector may erroneously determine the aspect ratio depending on its signal. If this
occurs, select the appropriate aspect ratio from the following.
4:3
The image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio.
16:9
The image is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio.
15:9
The image is displayed in 15:9 aspect ratio.
16:10
The image is displayed in 16:10 aspect ratio.
WIDE ZOOM
(
6540A/6536A/6532A/
6528A/6233A
)
The image is stretched left and right.
Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the left and right edges and therefore not
visible.

)
The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical direc-
tions to fit the screen. Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the top and bottom
edges and therefore not visible.
NATIVE
The projector displays the current image in its true resolution when the incoming computer
signal has a lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution.
[Example 1] When the incoming
signal with the resolution of 800
× 600 is displayed on the

• When a non-computer signal is displayed, the [NATIVE] is not available.
• When a signal with a higher resolution than the projector’s native resolution is displayed, [NA-
TIVE] is not available.
