Setting the aspect ratio (ASPECT) This projector allows you to change the aspect ratio to match the type of input signal. Press the ASPECT button. BPressing the ASPECT button will change the aspect ratio according to the successive settings shown below. BIllustrations for aspect ratio settings are shown on the next page. Refer to this illustration for assistance in selecting a suitable aspect ratio.

When set to "AUTO", the projector switches the aspect ratio automatically if the input signal has a detector signal. B The aspect ratios for the following signals are fixed, and cannot be changed. (Refer to page 58.) 1 125 (1 080) /60i, 1 125 (1 080) /50i, 750 (720) /60p, 750 (720) /50p, WIDE 480/600/720/768/768-2 *WIDE768 signals can be set to "V SCROLL". NOTE: B If a selected mode does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal, it may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture. B If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display programs for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that if the aspect ratio selection function is used to change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws. B If a 4:3 picture is projected onto a 16:9 screen, distortion may occur around the edges of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Programs which have 4:3 aspect ratios should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and intentions of the original program's creator. B Image sizes such as Cinema-Vision that project wider than the 16:9 ratio will have narrow black fields at the top and bottom. B When "WSS" is set to "ON"(page46), the projector switches the aspect ratio automatically if the input signal has a detector signal. B "WIDE" is displayed on the screen when "ASPECT" is set automatically (when "WSS" is set to "ON"). Press the ASPECT button to switch the aspect ratio. B You can also change the aspect ratio from the "POSITION" menu. B When set to "V SCROLL", vertical position can be adjusted by pressing the G and F buttons (close the "POSITION" menu screen before adjusting vertical position). 30-ENGLISH ASPECT 4:3 Input signal 4:3 input signal Projected image 4:3 16:9 Squeezed signal (image contracted horizontally) Horizontal expansion of projected image 14:9 14:9 letterbox signal Expansion preserves original ratio JUST 4:3 input signal Horizontal expansion of projected image (Center of image is less distorted.)
