For computer images, resizing is normally unnecessary, since the projector automatically resizes the image to make the best use of the display area. If you press the Resize button on the projector or remote control, the projector displays the image at the output resolution of the computer (which makes the image larger or smaller, depending on its resolution). If the resolution of the image is the same as the projector's (1024 × 768), pressing Resize has no effect. For video images, pressing Resize switches the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9.

Fine-Tuning the Projector

Component Video
: For a video player that outputs a
component video signal.
Progressive
: Use
Film/Auto
for projecting film or to
automatically determine the setting, choose
Video
for video
images, or choose
OFF
to convert each field of interlaced
signals to progressive signals.
Video Signal
Leave this setting at
Auto
unless you are using a 60-Hz PAL
system (select
PAL60
).
Adjusting the Image Size, Shape, and
Position
Whether you’re projecting from a computer or video player, you can
use these settings to adjust the size, shape, and position of the image.
Resize button
Adjusts how an image fits into the display area.
For computer images, resizing is normally unnecessary, since the
projector automatically resizes the image to make the best use of
the display area. If you press the
Resize
button on the projector
or remote control, the projector displays the image at the output
resolution of the computer (which makes the image larger or
smaller, depending on its resolution). If the resolution of the
image is the same as the projector’s (1024
×
768), pressing
Resize
has no effect.
For video images, pressing
Resize
switches the aspect ratio
between 4:3 and 16:9. This lets you play certain digital video
images or movies recorded on certain DVDs in 16:9 widescreen
format.
Keystone
(in the Setting menu)
Squares up the shape of the image after the projector has been
tilted upward or angled to one side (see page 26). If you notice
lines or edges looking jagged after adjusting the shape, decrease
the Sharpness setting (see page 120).
note
If your computer image is
stretched, compressed, or
doesn’t fit correctly on the
screen, try adjusting the
Resolution setting first (see
page 122).
