Description of Each Setting
Note
For details about how the aspect ratio setting affects the projected image, see “Aspect Ratio
Setting and Projection Image” (page 79).
When projecting while “True” is selected as the aspect ratio setting for an RGB signal with a
resolution that is less than SVGA, the image is enlarged to SVGA and projected.
You can also change the aspect ratio using the Setup Menu “Screen Settings 3 Aspect
Ratio” setting (page 28).
Important!
Note that enlarging or reducing the size of an image using the [ASPECT] key for commercial
purposes or public presentation may infringe on the legally protected copyright of the

Normal:Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size while maintaining the input signal aspect
ratio.
Full: Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size by enlarging or reducing the input signal.
16:9: This setting specifies a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the same as a movie screen, high-definition
TV, etc. Using this setting when the input signal is a 16:9 image that has been squeezed to a
4:3 image causes the image to be displayed with its normal 16:9 aspect ratio.
16:10: This setting specifies a 16:10 aspect ratio. Use this setting to adjust the image for projection
onto a 16:10 aspect ratio screen.
4:3: Regardless of the input signal aspect ratio, the image is always resized to an aspect ratio of
4:3 for projection.
True: Projects the input signal at its actual size (1 input source dot equal to one projector output
pixel dot) in the center of the projector’s projection screen. If the input signal resolution
exceeds the projector’s output resolution, the excess is cut off.
Letter Box:This will resize the image horizontally to 1280 dots and project 800 vertical dots of the
center of the image, maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal.
