EnglishSelecting the aspect ratio
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. For W700/W710ST, the 
default aspect ratio is 16:9. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV 
and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can 
dy

namically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image 
input signal. 
To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
1. Press  MENU/E
 XIT and then press / until the  DISPLAY  menu is highlighted.
2. Press
  to highlight  Aspect Ratio .
3. Press 
/ to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your 
display requirements.
About the aspect ratio
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active 
areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
1. Auto: 
Scales an image proportionally to fit the 
projector's native resolution in its 
horizontal width. This is suitable for the 
incoming image which is neither in 4:3 
nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of 
the screen without altering the image's 
aspect ratio.
2. Real: 
The image is projected as its original 
resolution, and resized to fit within the 
display area. For input signals with lower 
resolutions, the projected image will 
display smaller than if resized to full 
screen. You could adjust the zoom setting 
or move the projector away from the 
screen to increase the image size if 
necessary. You may also need to refocus 
the projector after making these 
adjustments.

*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. One 
of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A 
white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a 
high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

English3D Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in 
classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where 
building external windows allow daylight into the room. 
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture 
th ea

ters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management 
provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should 
you require it.
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing 
co nd

itions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of 
suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the 
projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable 
guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you 
s e

lect each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your 
preference.
If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used 
t o

 test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image 
from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management  menu to make 
adjustments.

range at 0, only pure red in the projected 
picture will be selected. Increasing its range 
will include red close to yellow and red close 
to magenta.
5. Press 
 to highlight  Saturation and adjust 
its values to your preference by pressing

. Every adjustment made will reflect to the 
image immediately.
For example, if you select Red and set its 
v alue a

t 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.
6. Press 
 to highlight Gain  and adjust its values to your preference by pressing /. 
The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less 
saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that  color from the image entirely. If the saturation 
is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
