AUTO
The	projector	will	automatically	determine	the	incoming	signal	and	display	it	in	its	aspect	ratio.	The	projector	may	erroneously	determine	the	aspect	ratio	depending	on	its	signal.	If	this	occurs ,	select	the	appropriate	aspect	ratio	from	the	following.

NATIVE
The	projector	displays	the	current	image	in	its	true	resolution	when	the	incoming	computer	signal	has	a	lower	or	higher	resolution	than	the	projector’s	native	resolution.	(→	page	164)When	the	incoming	computer	signal	has	a	higher	resolution	than	the	projector's	native	resolution,	the	center	of	an	image	will	be	displayed.
LETTER	BOXThe	image	of	a	letterbox	signal	(16:9)	is	stretched	equally	in	the	horizontal	and	vertical	directions	to	fit	the	screen.
WIDE	SCREENThe	image	of	a	squeeze	signal(16:9)	is	stretched	left	and	right	in	16:9.
ZOOMThe	image	of	a	squeeze	signal	(16:9)	is	stretched	left	and	right	in	4:3.Parts	of	the	displayed	image	are	cropped	at	the	left	and	right	edges	and	therefore	not	visible.
FULLProject	to	full	screen	size.
TIP:
•	 Image	position	can	be	adjusted	vertically	using	[POSITION]	when	the	[16:9],	[15:9],	or	[16:10]	aspect	ratios	are	selected.
•	 The	term	“letterbox”	refers	to	a	more	landscape-oriented	image	when	compared	to	a	4:3	image,	which	is	the	standard	aspect	
ratio for a vide source.
	 The	letterbox	signal	has	aspect	ratios	with	the	vista	size	“1.85:1”	or	cinema	scope	size	“2.35:1”	for	movie	film.
•	 The	term	“squeeze”	refers	to	the	compressed	image	of	which	aspect	ratio	is	converted	from	16:9	to	4:3.
[INPUT	RESOLUTION]
The	resolution	is	assigned	automatically	when	the	resolution	of	the	input	signal	from	the	computer	video	input	terminal	
or	BNC	video	input	terminal	(analog	RGB)	cannot	be	distinguished.

[VIDEO]
Using	Noise	Reduction	[NOISE	REDUCTION]
When	projecting	a	video	image,	you	can	use	the	[NOISE	REDUCTION]	function	to	reduce	the	screen	noise	(roughness	
and	distortion).	This	device	is	equipped	with	three	types	of	noise	reduction	functions.	Select	the	function	according	to	
the	type	of	noise.	Depending	on	the	noise	level,	the	noise	reduction	effect	can	be	set	to	[OFF],	[LOW],	[MEDIUM]	or	
[HIGH].	[NOISE	REDUCTION]	can	be	selected	f or	SDTV ,	HDTV	signal	and	component	signal	input.
RANDOM NR .........Reduces flickering random noise in an image. 
MOSQUITO NR
 ......Reduces mosquito noise that appears around the edges of an image during \
Blu-ray playback.
BLOCK NR
 .............Reduces block noise or mosaic-like patterns by selecting ON.
Selecting	Interlaced	Progressive	Conversion	Process	Mode	[DEINTERLACE]
This	function	allows	you	to	select	an	interlaced-to-progressive	conversion	process	for	video	signals.
NORMAL ................Automatically distinguishes a moving image from a static image to create\
 a distinct image. Please select 
[MOVIE] if there are any obvious jitter and noises.
MOVIE
 ...................Select when projecting moving images. This is suitable for signals with \
a lot of jitter and noise.
STILL
 .....................Select when projecting static images. The video will flicker when a movi\
ng image is projected.
NOTE:	This	function	is	not	available	with	RGB	signals.
[CONTRAST	ENHANCEMENT]
Using	the	characteristics	of	the	human	eye,	a	picture	quality	with	a	sense	of	contrast	and	resolution	is	achieved.
OFF ........................Suite vision is switched off.
AUTO
 .....................Contrast and picture quality are automatically improved using the suite \
vision function.
NORMAL
 ................Adjust the gain manually.

[SIGNAL	TYPE]
Selection	of	RGB	and	component	signals.	Normally,	this	is	set	to	[AUT O].	Please	change	the	setting	if	the	color	of	the	
image	remains	unnatural.
AUTO .....................Automatically distinguishes RGB and component signals.
RGB
 .......................Switches to the RGB input.
COMPONENT
 .........Switches to the component signal input.
[VIDEO	LEVEL]
Selection	of	the	video	signal	lev el	when	connecting	an	exter nal	device	to	the	HDMI	IN	terminal,	DisplayP ort	input	
terminal,	and	HDBaseT	input	terminal	of	the	projector.
AUTO .....................The video level is switched automatically based on the information from \
the device outputting the signal.
Depending on the connected device, this setting may not be made properly. In this case, switch to [NORMAL” 
or “ENHANCED” from the menu and view with the optimum setting.
NORMAL
 ................This disables the enhanced mode.
ENHANCED
 ............This improves the image’s contrast, expressing the dark and light sections more dynamically.
SUPER WHITE
 .......The video contrast is improved and the dark areas appear more dynamic.

Using the Lens Memory Function [LENS MEMORY]
This	function	serves	to	store	the	adjusted	values	for	each	input	signal	when	using	the	LENS	SHIFT,	ZOOM	and	FO-
CUS	buttons	of	the	projector.	Adjusted	values	can	be	applied	to	the	signal	you	selected.	This	will	eliminate	the	need	
to	adjust	lens	shift,	focus,	and	zoom	at	the	time	of	source	selection.
STORE ...................Stores the current adjusted values in memory for each input signal.
MOVE
 ....................Applies the adjusted values to the current signal.
RESET
 ....................Returns the adjusted values to the last condition.
NOTE:
•	 The	lens	shift,	zoom,	and	focus	adjustments	can	be	performed	with	the	remote	control.	(→ page 23, 24)
•	 To	store	adjusted	values	common	to	all	the	input	sources,	use	the	REF.	LENS	MEMORY	function.	See	page	49, 106.
•	 Lens	memory	adjustments	will	be	automatically	registered	the	ENTRY	LIST.	These	lens	memory	adjustments	can	be	loaded	from	
the	ENTRY	LIST.	(→ page 78)
	 Note	that	performing	[CUT]	or	[ALL	DELETE]	in	the	ENTRY	LIST	will	delete	lens	memory	adjustments	as	well	as	source	adjust-
ments. This deletion will not take effect until other adjustments is loa\
ded.

on	the	operation.
HORIZONTAL	CORNER/VERTICAL	CORNER
Distortion	correction	for	corner	projection	such	as	wall	surfaces.
HORIZONTAL CORNER
 ..............................Performs correction for projection onto a wall lying at an angle to the hor\
izontal direction.
* Reverse angle correction is also possible.
VERTICAL CORNER
 ..............................Performs correction for projection onto a wall lying at an angle to the ver\
tical direction.
* Reverse angle correction is also possible.
NOTE:
•	 When	the	maximum	adjustment	range	is	exceeded,	distortion	adjustment	is	disabled.	Set	up	the	projector	at	an	optimal	angle	as	
the deterioration in the image quality increases as the distortion adjus\
tment volume gets larger.
•	 Please	note	that	the	image	will	go	out	of	focus	due	to	the	difference	in	the	distance	between	the	upper	and	lower	or	left	and	right	
sides	and	the	center	of	the	screen	for	projections	cutting	across	corners.	Lenses	with	short	focal	points	are	also	not	recommended	
for projections cutting across corners as the image will go out of focus\
