To change the aspect ratio of the projected image (ASPECT)
Press the [ASPECT] key to cycle through the aspect ratio settings for the projected image.
The table below shows the settings available for each type of input source.
Description of Each Setting
NotezFor details about how the aspect ratio setting affects the projected image, see “Aspect Ratio 
Setting and Projection Image” (page 35).
zYou can also change the aspect ratio using the Setup Menu “Screen Settings 3 Aspect 
Ratio” setting (page 20).
Important!zNote 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 
copyright holder of the original material.
Input SourcePressing the [ASPECT] key will toggle between these settings:
RGB, HDMI (PC) Normal J Full J 16:9 J 16:10
Component, HDMI (DTV) Normal J 16:9 J 16:10 J 4:3
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.
