Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and
computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, 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 towards the screen to increase
the image size if necessary. You may also need to
refocus the projector after making these
adjustments.

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 computer
monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect
DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect
alteration.
