Changing the Projected Image (Source Search)The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected 
equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected. 
You can project the target image quickly because it skips input ports 
where no image is being input.

When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning 
this operation.
When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the 
[Source Search] button until the target image is projected.ProcedureComputer1 Video

Freezing the Image (Freeze)
When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to 
project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still 
photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files 
during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the 
Freeze function is activated beforehand.
Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.
Changing the Aspect Ratio (Aspect)
When video equipment is connected, images that have been recorded in 
digital video or onto DVDs can be viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format. 
You can change the aspect ratio
g for images in squeeze mode
g as 
follows. 
Each time you press the button, the aspect name is displayed on the screen 
and the aspect changes.
Procedure
q
 Audio does not stop. 
 The image source continues to play back the moving 
images even while the screen is frozen, so it is not possible 
to resume projection from the point where it was paused. 
 If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the configuration 
menu or a help screen is displayed, the menu or help 
screen being displayed is cleared. 
 Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used. Remote control
