Select this mode for normal image projection. • [Auto] is not available if the input signal type is [VIDEO]. • [Auto] is automatically selected if the input signal type is [USB]. (SX80 II) 4:3 An image is projected at an aspect ratio of 4:3. Select this if an image of 4:3 aspect ratio cannot be appropriately projected in the [AUTO] mode. 16:9 An image is projected at an aspect ratio of 16:9. Select this if an image of 16:9 aspect ratio cannot be appropriately projected in the [AUTO] mode. Zoom An image with 4:3 aspect ratio is projected in the center of the screen enlarged in 16:9 aspect ratio with the upper and lower portion of the image cut off. Select this when projecting visual software having aspect ratio of 4:3 and black belts at the top and bottom of the image. • This mode is available when you select [16:9] or [16:9 D. image shift] for [Screen aspect] and select [HDMI (576p, 480p) (SX80 II)], [COMPONENT (576p, 480p, 576i, 480i)], [VIDEO] or [S-VIDEO (SX80 II)] for input signal. True size An image is projected with the original resolution of the input signal. Select this to clearly project computer screen images having a resolution SXGA+ or lower (VGA, SVGA, XGA or SXGA) or visual software having a resolution lower than 1035i. • This mode is available when you select [HDMI (720p, 576p, 480p) (SX80 II)] or [COM- PONENT (720p, 576p, 480p)] for input signal. • It is not available for an image having a resolution higher than SXGA+ or visual software having a resolution of 1080i, 1080p, 1035i, 576i or 480i. • It is also available if the input signal is [ANALOG PC-1], [ANALOG PC-2], or [DIGITAL PC (SX80 II)]; however, it may not be available depending on the screen aspect setting. 65

Types of Aspect Ratios
Auto
An image is projected at an aspect ratio of the input signal. Select this mode for normal
image projection.
4:3
An image is projected at an aspect ratio of 4:3. Select this if an image of 4:3 aspect ratio
cannot be appropriately projected in the [AUTO] mode.
16:9
An image is projected at an aspect ratio of 16:9. Select this if an image of 16:9 aspect
ratio cannot be appropriately projected in the [AUTO] mode.
Zoom
An image with 4:3 aspect ratio is projected in the center of the screen enlarged in 16:9
aspect ratio with the upper and lower portion of the image cut off. Select this when pro-
jecting visual software having aspect ratio of 4:3 and black belts at the top and bottom of
the image.
This mode is available when you select [16:9] or [16:9 D. image shift] for [Screen
aspect] and select [HDMI (576p, 480p) (SX80 II)], [COMPONENT (576p, 480p, 576i,
480i)], [VIDEO] or [S-VIDEO (SX80 II)] for input signal.
True size
An image is projected with the original resolution of the input signal. Select this to clearly
project computer screen images having a resolution SXGA+ or lower (VGA, SVGA, XGA
or SXGA) or visual software having a resolution lower than 1035i.
This mode is available when you select [HDMI (720p, 576p, 480p) (SX80 II)] or [COM-
PONENT (720p, 576p, 480p)] for input signal.
[Auto] is not available if the input signal type is [VIDEO].
[Auto] is automatically selected if the input signal type is [USB]. (SX80 II)
It is not available for an image having a resolution higher than SXGA+ or visual software
having a resolution of 1080i, 1080p, 1035i, 576i or 480i.
It is also available if the input signal is [ANALOG PC-1], [ANALOG PC-2], or [DIGITAL PC
(SX80 II)]; however, it may not be available depending on the screen aspect setting.
