Borders are automatically added by the system when the Active Input Aspect Ratio is not the same as
the Output Aspect Ratio as explained earlier in this guide. However you can add more borders using
the Borders menu.
Presets
You can specify the Input Aspect Ratio by using the Presets or Manually.
Using Presets
You can use Presets with either the OSD or the Remote Control Input Aspect Ratio button. Refer to
the Preset sub-menu in the Input AR menu for doing this with the OSD. The remote control operation
is described below.
• 4:3 Selects 4:3 Full Frame without OSD.
• 16:9 Selects 16:9 Full Frame without OSD.
Pushing the Input Aspect Ratio button repeatedly selects Preset 1 through Preset 4 and User in se-
quence without using the On-Screen Display (OSD).
The four user-dened preset value selections (Preset 1 - 4) are stored in non-volatile memory and
always available.
Each of these presets consists of the following:
• Frame Aspect Ratio
• Active Input Aspect Ratio
• Zoom parameter
• Pan parameter
• Borders
The User preset selection is also stored in non-volatile memory. However the User selection is
always updated after you modify any pre-dened aspect ratio setting. In order to permanently keep a
custom aspect ratio setting, you must save it to one of the four preset selections.
Setting the Input Aspect Ratio Manually
You can set the following parameters manually:
• Frame Aspect Ratio
• Active Input Aspect Ratio
• Zoom factor
• Pan parameter
• Borders (horizontal and vertical)
NOTE: Typically you only need to select the Frame Aspect Ratio and Active Input Aspect Ratio to get
an acceptable picture.
The Active Input Aspect Ratio menu item lists the most common movie aspect ratios (1.33:1, 1.85:1
and 2.35:1). You can also customize the Input Aspect Ratio using the Up and Down buttons.
Save User-dened presets as follows:
• Customize the aspect ratio manually (refer to Setting the Input Aspect Ratio Manually above).
• Select one of the presets from the ‘Save User To’ menu. Conrm the action by selecting Yes.
NOTE: Be careful, because saving to a preset deletes the previous preset.
