on your screen when
You may need to change the size of the image (or aspect
ratio) for certain image types by pressing the
on the remote control.
Select one of these settings:
■ Normal
or images with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
■ Full
for images recorded in squeeze mode.
■ Zoom
for images recorded in 16:9 (wide-screen) format.
■ Wide
for expanding a 4:3 image to 16:9 so it fills the whole screen. This stretches only
the right and left sides of the image; the central part is unchanged.
Note: When displaying 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signals through the HDMI or Component video port,
the aspect ratio is automatically selected and you cannot change it.
If you display a 4:3 image using the Zoom setting, the top and bottom will be cut off. You can use
the Zoom Caption Pos. option and other settings to resize and reposition the image. For details,
see page 46.
For details on how the projector resizes the picture when you choose an Aspect setting, see
