Fine-tuning the Projector 71
Adjusting the Image Size, Shape, and
Position
Whether you’re projecting from a computer or video player, you can
use these settings to adjust the size, shape, and position of the image.
■ Resize button
Adjusts how an image fits into the display area.
For computer images, resizing is normally unnecessary, since the
projector automatically resizes the image to make the best use of
the display area. If you press the
Resize button on the remote
control, the projector displays the image at the output resolution
of the computer (making the image larger or smaller, depending
on its resolution). If the resolution of the image is the same as the
projector’s (1400
× 1050), pressing Resize has no effect.
For video images, pressing resize switches the aspect ratio between
4:3 and 16:9. This lets you play certain digital video images or
movies recorded on certain DVDs in 16:9 widescreen format.
■ Keystone (in the Setting menu)
Squares up the shape of the image after the projector has been
tilted upward or angled to one side (see page 44). If you notice
lines or edges looking jagged after adjusting the shape, decrease
the Sharpness setting (see page 68).
■ Position (in the Video menu)
If the image is slightly cut off on one or more sides, it may not be
centered exactly. You can use this setting to center it.
note
If your computer image is
stretched, compressed, or
doesn’t fit correctly on the
screen, you should try
adjusting the Resolution
setting first (see page 70).
The PowerLite 9300i
utilizes a 1400
× 1050
panel. When projecting
resolutions equal to or less
than XGA (1024
× 768),
the image is resized and
shown at full-screen size.
However, when projecting
in SXGA (1280
× 1024),
the aspect ratio is 5:4,
resulting in unused
darkened areas of the top
and bottom portion of the
screen. This is normal.
