Adjusting the aspect ratio This changes the aspect ratio of the projected image. This changes the aspect ratio for the screen range selected with "SCREEN SETTING". Set "SCREEN SETTING" first. (p. 72) 1. Press ▲▼ to select "ASPECT". SHIFT ASPECT DEFAULT ZOOM 2. Press ◄► or ENTER. • The "ASPECT" individual adjustment screen will be displayed. ASPECT DEFAULT CHANGE 3.

DEFAULT S1 AUTO THROUGH VID AUTO 16:9 HV FIT 4:3 V FIT H FIT • DEFAULT: Pictures are displayed without changing the aspect ratio of the input signals. • THROUGH: Pictures are displayed without changing the resolution of the input signals. • 16:9: When standard signals*1 are input, the pictures are displayed with the aspect ratio converted to 16:9. When wide signals are input*2, the pictures are displayed without changing the aspect ratio. • 4:3: When standard signals are input*1, the pictures are displayed without changing the aspect ratio. When wide signals are input*2, the PT-D12000U displays pictures with the aspect ratio converted to 4:3. The PT-DZ12000U displays pictures reduced to fit a 4:3 screen without changing the input aspect ratio. • H FIT: The display will use the full width of the screen range selected with "SCREEN SETTING". When signals have a vertical aspect ratio that is larger than the screen aspect selected with "SCREEN SETTING", the pictures will be displayed with their bottom areas cut off. • V FIT: The display will use the full height of the screen range selected with "SCREEN SETTING". • HV FIT: The pictures are displayed in the full screen range selected with "SCREEN SETTING". If the aspect ratios of the input signals and screen range differ, conversion to the screen aspect set with "SCREEN SETTING" is performed and then the pictures are displayed. • VID AUTO: The projector identifies the video ID (VID) embedded in the picture signals and displays the picture by automatically switching the screen sizes between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is effective for the NTSC signal input. • S1 AUTO: The projector identifies the S1 signal and displays the picture by automatically switching the screen sizes between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is effective for S-Video NTSC signals. • VID AUTO (PRI.): The projector identifies the abovementioned VID or S1 signals and displays the picture by automatically choosing the screen sizes of 4:3 or 16:9 according to the VID if it is detected or S1 signals if a VID is not detected. This function is effective for S-Video NTSC signals. *1: Standard signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4. *2: Wide-screen signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10. Note • Some size modes are not available for certain types of input signals. For NTSC signals, "DEFAULT" cannot be selected. • If an aspect ratio which is different from the aspect ratio for the input signals is selected, the pictures will appear differently from the originals. Be careful of this when selecting the aspect ratio. • If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display programmes for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that adjusting the aspect ratio or using the zoom function to change the screen pictures may be an infringement of the rights of the original copyright owner for that programme under copyright protection laws. • If conventional (normal) 4:3 pictures which are not wide-screen pictures are displayed on a wide screen, the edges of the pictures may not be visible or they may become distorted. Such pictures should be viewed as with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in the original format intended by the creator of the pictures. ENGLISH - 61 Basic Operation
