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 or vertical 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.
4. 16:9: Scales an image so that it is
displayed in the center of the
screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
This is most suitable for images
which are already in a 16:9 aspect,
like high definition TV, as it
displays them without aspect
alteration.
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 towards the screen to increase the
image size if necessary. You may also need
to refocus the projector after making these
adjustments.
5. 16:10: Scales an image so that it is
displayed in the center of the
screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
This is most suitable for images
which are already in a 16:10
aspect, as it displays them without
aspect alteration.
3. 4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in
the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect
ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images
like some computer monitors, standard
definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies,
as it displays them without aspect
alteration.
