Selecting the Image Aspect Ratio This selects the ratio between the height and width of the projected images. If the input signal includes aspect ratio information, the projector's automatic mode will detect this information and use it to automatically change the aspect ratio to the optimum ratio.
Adjusting the Image Quality Details of each aspect ratio are as follows. Normal mode 4:3 image HDTV images Squeeze mode When projecting 4:3 TV images recorded in squeeze mode 4:3 image Zoom mode Letterbox images The aspect ratio of the images being input is maintained, and the images are projected into a 16:9 screen area.
Smart Zoom mode 4:3 image Through mode Squeeze Through mode Adjusting the Image Quality Images in 4:3 format such as normal TV broadcasts are extended horizontally, with less elongation in the middle and more elongation at the edges. This is useful for when 4:3 images are projected onto a wide screen.
