English Selecting the aspect ratio The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. For W700/W710ST, the default aspect ratio is 16:9. 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): 1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted. 2. Press to highlight Aspect Ratio. 3. Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements. About the aspect ratio In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas. 1. 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 to make most use of the screen without altering the image's aspect ratio. 2. Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom setting or move the projector away from the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after making these adjustments. 16:10 picture 15:9 picture 4:3 picture 16:9 picture Operation 35

Selecting the aspect ratio
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. For W700/W710ST, the
default aspect ratio is 16:9. 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):
1.
Press

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 to make most use of

aspect ratio.
2.
