Making Basic Adjustments

Choosing the Aspect Ratio

In many cases, video signals are automatically resized to fit
on your screen when

Auto

is selected as the Aspect setting.

You may need to change the size of the image (or aspect
ratio) for certain image types by pressing the

Aspect

button

on the remote control.

Select one of these settings:

■ Normal

for standard TV broadcasts, computer images,

or images with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

■ Full

for images recorded in squeeze mode.

■ Zoom

for images recorded in 16:9 (wide-screen) format.

■ Wide

for expanding a 4:3 image to 16:9 so it fills the whole screen. This stretches only

the right and left sides of the image; the central part is unchanged.

■ Anamorphic Wide

when using a commercially available anamorphic lens. This lets you

display images recorded at a 2.35:1 aspect ratio using the projector’s built-in scaler. If you
use this setting without an anamorphic lens, the image fills the screen but not at the
correct aspect ratio.

Note: When displaying 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signals through the HDMI or Component video port,
the aspect ratio is automatically selected and you cannot change it.

If you display a 4:3 image using the Zoom setting, the top and bottom will be cut off. You can use
the Zoom Caption Pos. option and other settings to resize and reposition the image. For details,
see page 45.

For details on how the projector resizes the picture when you choose an Aspect setting, see
page 67.
