the image may distort or some portions may be
cropped. Select an aspect ratio which preserves the
intention of the image creator.
• The order of ASPECT types is defined not only by the
input method but also by the input signals. See “List of
compatible signals” on page 49.
• If you project a copyrighted image enlarged or distorted
by using ASPECT function in commercial use in a
public place, such as a restaurant or hotel, you might
infringe on the copyright of the creator which is
