Projection Procedure
Focusing, Resizing, or Moving the Image
■Adjusting Image Focus
To adjust the focus, turn the focus ring.
■Adjusting Image Size (WUX500)
To adjust the image size, turn the lever on the 
projection lens. Change the projector installation 
position (P40) if your desired image is too large or 
too small to adjust it with the zoom function.
■Adjusting the Image Position
Turn the lens shift dials to adjust the projected image vertically or horizontally. 
Called “lens shift,” this adjusts the projected image into position by moving the lens 
up, down, left, or right.
On the WUX450ST, images will waver as you turn the focus ring. Hold the focus ring on 
top and bottom and turn it slowly as you adjust the focus.
• Instead of adjusting where the image is projected, you can also move the image itself. 
For details, refer to “Digital image shift” (P90).
• You can fine-tune the image position by turning the upper part of the upper lens shift 
dial or the lower part of the lower lens shift dial.

Step 4 Select an Aspect Ratio (Screen Aspect) 
Matching the Screen
Select an optimum aspect ratio of the projected image (screen aspect) or an 
optimum screen mode (aspect) according to the aspect ratio of the screen, type of 
input image signal and so on for the projection to make best use of the screen size.
You may need to change the setting depending on the resolution of the computer or 
other AV equipment connected. If the image is not projected with the desired 
aspect ratio, refer to “Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect” on page 
172.

Types of Aspect Ratios
■Auto
An image is projected at the aspect ratio of the input signal. Select this mode for 
normal image projection.
■16:10
The image is projected using an input signal aspect ratio of 16:10. Select this if an 
image of 16:10 aspect ratio cannot be correctly projected in [Auto] mode.
■16:9
The image is projected using an input signal aspect ratio of 16:9. Select this if an 
image of 16:9 aspect ratio cannot be correctly projected in [Auto] mode.
■4:3
The image is projected using an input signal aspect ratio of 4:3. Select this if an 
image of 4:3 aspect ratio cannot be correctly projected in [Auto] mode.
■Zoom
This cuts the upper / lower or left / right part of the screen according to the screen 
aspect and zooms in the center of the image. Select this if a letter box is displayed 
(black lines at the top/bottom of the screen) when watching video.
■Tr u e  s i z e
The image is projected with the original resolution of the input signal. Screens of 
computers with a lower display resolution than the projector are displayed smaller 
but clearer than in other aspect ratios.
There may be some cases when this cannot be selected, depending on the input signal 
and/or resolution.
