Sets the aspect ratio of the picture. When 
inputting 16:9 (squeezed) signal from 
equipment such as a DVD player, set to 
16:9.

4:3: When the picture with ratio 4:3 is input.

16:9: When the picture with ratio 16:9 

(squeezed) is input.

This projector has 37 types of preset data for 
input signals for INPUT-A (the preset 
memory). When a preset signal is input, the 
projector automatically detects the signal 
type and recalls the data for the signal from 
the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum 
picture. The memory number and signal type 
of that signal are displayed in the INPUT 
SETTING menu. You can also adjust the 
preset data through the INPUT SETTING 
menu.
This projector has 20 types of user memories 
for INPUT-A into which you can save the 
setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset 
input signal.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first 
time, a memory number is displayed as 00. 
When you adjust the data of the signal in the 
INPUT SETTING menu, it will be 
registered to the projector. If more than 20 
user memories are registered, the newest 
memory always overwrites the oldest one.

Since the data is recalled from the preset 
memory about the following signals, you 
can use these preset data by adjusting SIZE. 
Make fine adjustment by adjusting SHIFT. 

When the aspect ratio of input signal is other 
than 4:3, a part of the screen is displayed in 
black.
