The password feature lets you keep unauthorized individuals from using the projector. You can specify 
whether password input is requir ed whenever you turn on the projector, and you can specify and 
change the password as required.  Use the setup menu “Option Settings 1  Power On Password” 
setting to configure powe r on password settings.
Inputting a Password
The password of your projector is not really a “wor d” made up of letters, but rather a sequence of 
remote controller key inputs. The following is the  8-key sequence that represents the initial factory 
default password.
Using the Password Feature
Note the following precautions whenever you use the password feature.
 The password feature protects against unauthorized use of the projector. Note that it is not an anti-
theft measure.
 You will need to enter the initia l factory default password the firs t time you use the projector after 
turning on the password feature. Change the init ial factory default password to a different one of 
your choice as soon as possible after turning on the password feature.
 Remember that password operations are always performed using the remote controller, so you 
should take care not to lose or  misplace the remote controller.
 Also note that you will not be ab le to input the password if the remote controller batteries are dead. 
Replace the remote control batteries as soon as possible after it starts to go low.
If you forget your password...
You will not be able to use the projector if you forget the password for some reason. If you forget the 
password, you will need to bring the following tw o items to your CASIO distributor to have the 
password cleared. Note th at you will be charged to have the password cleared.
Note that your CASIO distributor  will not be able to clear the password of yo ur projector unless you 
bring both of the items listed above.
Also, keep the projector’s warranty in a safe place.
Important!Having your password cleared using the procedure described above will return all of the settings 
of your projector, except for the lamp  time, to their initial factory defaults.

Aspect Ratio
RCVHDSource 
SpecificUse this sub-menu to select an aspect ratio setting for the 
projected image.
Input Source: RGB or HDMI (PC)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.
True (XJ-A240/XJ-A245/XJ-A250/XJ-A255 only):
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.
Input Source: VIDEO, Component or HDMI 
(DTV)
Normal*:
Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size while 
maintaining the input signal aspect ratio.
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.
Letter Box (XJ-A240/XJ-A245/XJ-A250/XJ-A255 only):
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.
NoteWhen the input source is a component signal with an 
aspect ratio of 16:9, the aspect ratio is fixed at 16:9. The 
aspect ratio setting cannot be changed in this case.
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.
For details about projection screen display conditions for 
different aspect ratio settings, see “Aspect Ratio Setting 
and Projection Image” (page 44).
