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.
Options
Function
AUTO
The projector will automatically determine the incoming signal and display it in its aspect ratio.
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.
LETTERBOX
The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical directions 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] When the incoming signal with the resolution
of 800 × 600 is displayed:
NOTE:
• 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, [NATIVE]
is not available.
TIP:
• This table shows typical resolutions and aspect ratios that most computers support.
