1.  Press the ASPECT button. 
•  Every time the ASPECT button is pressed, the aspect mode changes from AUTO to 16:9, to REAL, and back to 
AUTO. 
With the FEATURE menu:
(See page 23 for menu setting.) 
1.  Display the FEATURE menu. 
2.  Select ASPECT by pressing the 
 or 
 button. 
3.  Select your desired aspect ratio by pressing the 
 or 
 button. 
When 16:9 
 is selected.
4.  Press the ENTER button. 
5.  Select your desired position (CENTER, UPPER or LOWER) by pressing the 
 or 
 button.
To cancel the menu:
6.  Press the MENU button. 
Important:
•  When a 16:9 image is kept displayed for a long time before displaying 4:3 image, the afterimages of the black bars 
may appear on the 4:3 image screen. Consult your dealer in this case.

button.Press the 
 (or +) 
button.
Important: 
•  You can correct the vertical and horizontal keystones at the same time. However, their adjustment ranges are 
limited in such correction. 
•  When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean 
a projection angle. 
•  The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation 
conditions. 
•  When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight 
lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions. 
•  Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being 
projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in 
the range where the image is displayed without noise. 
•  When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of 
input signal.
