Changing the Aspect Ratio (Aspect)

The "aspectg" is the ratio between an image's length and its height. With this projector, you can switch the ratio by using the [Aspect] button on the remote
control. The aspect ratio can be set in six modes; "Auto", "Normal", "16:9", "Full", "Zoom", and "Through". By switching the aspect, you can set the best
projection for a given input signal. To set up, refer to the following explanation.
