Selecting the aspect ratio The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio. With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal. To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is): • Using the remote control • Press Aspect on the remote until your desired mode is selected. • Using the OSD menu 1. Open the OSD menu and go to the DISPLAY > Aspect Ratio menu. 2. Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector's native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want 16:10 picture to make most use of the screen without altering the image's aspect ratio. 16:9 picture 2. 4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
