About the screen projection mode
• Soon after being changed using the WIDE
MODE button, the picture may appear in a
screen projection mode different from the
one shown in the chart on page 38.
• When “Auto Wide” is set to “1” or “2,” it
keep working even though you press the
WIDE MODE button only once. If you press
the WIDE MODE button more than once,
you can select the desired projection
mode.
- If the signal contains an aspect ratio
signal, the screen projection mode
changes according to the aspect ratio
signal in the picture received.
- If the signal does not contain an aspect
ratio signal, the screen projection mode
does not change even though “Auto
Wide” is set to “2.” However, the “Auto
Wide” settings will be enabled again if
you change the channel, the input signal,
or turn the projector off and on.
If the screen projection mode changes
spontaneously when “Auto Wide” is set to “1”
or “2”
• The projector automatically selects the
most appropriate screen projection mode
according to the aspect ratio of the input
signal.
• When commercials come on or a program
changes, etc. while “2” is selected, the
picture may be distorted for a few seconds.
This is because the projector is selecting
the most appropriate screen projection
mode automatically according to the input
signal.
Notes on wide mode
This projector provides you with various choices of
screen projection mode. When changing the screen
projection mode, consider the following:
• Selecting a screen projection mode may provide a
different look from that of the original image.
• If the projector is used for profit or for public
viewing, modifying the original picture by switching
screen projection mode may constitute an
infringement of the rights of authors or producers
that are legally protected by copyright laws.
• When you watch a normal 4:3 picture enlarged to fill
a 16:9 screen using “Wide Zoom,” the perimeter of
the picture may not appear or be distorted.
Selecting “Normal” provides the same look as that
of the original image.
• Depending on the size and type of the original
image, the upper and lower edges of the picture
may be cut, or the picture may lack subtitles. In this
case, adjust “V Position” or “Title Area” (see page
41). However, you cannot adjust these items when
the screen projection mode is set to “Full,” “Normal,”
or “Wide Zoom.”
• Even though you change the screen projection
mode, black bands appear on the upper or lower
edges of the screen when a wide-format movie with
a Vistavision (1.85:1) or Cinemascope (2.35:1)
aspect ratio signal is received.
