Refer to “Navigating through the menu” (x page 77) for the operation of the menu screen. Note f When the optional DIGIT AL LINK output supported device (Model No.: ET- YFB100G, ET- YFB200G) is connected to the terminal, adjust the shift, aspect, and clock phase from the menu of DIGIT AL LINK output supported device at first. [SHIFT] Move the image position vertically or horizontally if the image projected on the screen is still out of position even when the positions of the projector and screen are correct. 1) Press as to select [SHIFT]. 2) Press the button. fThe [SHIFT] screen is displayed. 3) Press asqw to adjust the position. Orientation Operation Adjustment Vertical (up and down) adjustment Press a. The image position moves up. Press s. The image position moves down. Horizontal (right and left) adjustment Press w. The image position moves to the right. Press q.The image position moves to the left. Note f For the portrait setting, image position is moved horizontally when “V ertical (up and down) adjustment” is made. Image position is moved vertically when “Horizontal (right and left) adjustment” is made. (Only for PT - DZ21K2, PT - DS20K2, PT - DW17K2) [ASPECT] You can switch the aspect ratio of the image. The aspect ratio is switched within the screen range selected in [SCREEN SETTING]. Set [SCREEN SETTING] first. (x page 109) 1) Press as to select [ASPECT]. 2) Press qw or the button. fThe [ASPECT] individual adjustment screen is displayed. 3) Press qw to switch the item. fThe items will switch each time you press the button.

Chapter 4 Settings — [POSITION] menu 92 - ENGLISH [VID AUTO]*1The projector identifies the video ID (VID) embedded in the video signals and displays the image by automatically switching the screen sizes between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is effective for NTSC signals. [AUTO] *2The projector identifies the video ID (VID) embedded in the video signals and displays the image by automatically switching the screen sizes between 4:3 and 16:9. This function is effective for 480i/480p signals. [THROUGH] Displays images without changing the resolution of the input signals. [16:9] Displays images with the aspect ratio converted to 16:9 when standard signals are input *3. When wide-screen signals are input*4, the images are displayed without changing the aspect ratio. [4:3] Displays images without changing the aspect ratio when standard signals \ are input *3. When wide- screen signals are input*4, and [4:3] is selected in [SCREEN FORMAT], the images are displayed by converting the aspect ratio to 4:3. When anything other than [4:3] is selected in [SCREEN FORMA T], the images are reduced to be displayed without changing input aspect ratio so that the images will fit in the 4:3 screen. [H FIT] Displays images using the entire width of the screen range selected in [SCREEN FORMA T]. When signals have the aspect ratio vertically longer than the screen aspect ratio selected in [SCREEN FORMAT], the images are displayed with the top and bottom parts cut off. [V FIT] Displays images using the entire height of the screen range selected in [SCREEN FORMA T]. When signals have the aspect ratio horizontally longer than the aspect ratio of the screen selected in [SCREEN FORMAT], the images are displayed with the right and left parts cut off. [HV FIT] Displays images in the entire screen range selected in [SCREEN FORMA T]. When the aspect ratio of the input signals differs from that of the screen range, the images are displayed with the as\ pect ratio converted to that of the screen selected in [SCREEN FORMAT]. *1 During video signals and Y/C signal (NTSC) input only *2 During RGB signal (480i, 480p) input *3 Standard signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4. *4 Wide-screen signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10. Note f Some size modes are not available for certain types of input signals. [DEF AUL T] cannot be selected for video signal, Y/C signal (NTSC), or RGB (480i, 480p) signal. f If an aspect ratio which is dif ferent from the aspect ratio for the input signals is selected, the imag\ es will appear differently from the originals. Be careful of this when selecting the aspect ratio. f If using the projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display prog\ rams for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that adjusting the aspect ratio or using the zoom function to change the screen images may be an infringement of the rights of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws. Take care when using a function of the projector such as the aspect ratio\ adjustment and zoom function. f If conventional (normal) 4:3 images which are not wide-screen images are displayed on a wide screen, the edges of the images may not be visible or they may become distorted. Such images should be viewed as with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in the original format intended by the creator of the images. [ZOOM] You can adjust the image size.
