Bold frames are recommended modes.
• DVDs are usually labeled either FULLSCREEN or WIDESCREEN. FULLSCREEN DVDs produce a 4:3 image as shown above, and
WIDESCREEN DVDs produce a 16:9 image as shown above, sometimes with or without thin black bars on the top or bottom of the picture.
If you are purchasing DVDs for enjoyment with your projector, WIDESCREEN versions of DVDs will fill most of the screen and produce the
best viewing results.

How to change the settings:

With the remote control:
1. Press the ASPECT button.
• Every time the ASPECT button is pressed, the aspect mode changes from AUTO to 4:3, to 16:9, to EX-
PAND, and back to AUTO.
With the FEATURE menu:
(See Page 21 for menu setting.)
1. Display the FEATURE menu.
2. Select ASPECT by pressing the { or } button.
3. Select your desired aspect ratio by pressing the $ or % button.
To cancel the menu:
4. Press the MENU button.
Important :
• When a 4:3 image is kept displayed for a long time before displaying 16:9 image, the afterimages of the black
bars may appear on the 16:9 image screen. Consult your dealer in this case.
