%Wait until the power indicator on the projector illuminates red (until
the cooling fan stops).
Do not in any way cut power to the projector while the cooling fan is still
operating. Be careful not to switch off the MAIN POWER switch of the
projector, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet or turn off in-line
switches such as tabletop power switches.
&Press the MAIN POWER switch to the “O” side to turn off the power.
NOTE:
BAfter the power is turned off, the lamp unit will take some time to cool
down. If you turn the power back on again before the lamp unit has cooled
down, the lamp unit may not turn on straight away, but it will turn on
automatically after a short period. (During this time, the power indicator on
the projector will flash orange.)
BWhen the projector is in standby mode (the power indicator on the
projector is illuminated red), the projector will still draw a maximum 1.5 W
of power, even when the cooling fan has stopped.
BIf the MAIN POWER switch is accidentally turned off while the projector is
being used, the lamp unit may not turn on straight away after the power is
turned back on. In such cases, the lamp unit will turn back on
automatically after a short period. (During this time, the power indicator on
the projector will flash green.)
BA tinkling sound may be heard while the power indicator is turned off, but
this is not a sign of a malfunction.
BYou can also turn off the power by pressing the POWER button twice or
by holding down it for at least 0.5 seconds.

Basic Operation
NOTE:
BYou can also correct keystone distortion by selecting the KEYSTONE item
in the MAIN MENU and pressing ENTER.
BVertical and horizontal keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the
angle of tilt by PT-AE300U. Vertical keystone distortion can be corrected
to ±30° of the angle of tilt by PT-AE200U. However, the greater the
correction amount, the more the picture quality will deteriorate, and the
harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best
picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the
amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.
BThe picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is
carried out.
Correcting keystone distortionWhen either the projector or the screen is tilted, the keystone distortion will
affect the image. You can correct the image proportions by the following
procedure.

Basic Operation
Setting the ASPECTThis projector allows you to change the aspect ratio to match the type of
input signal. Pressing the ASPECT button will change the aspect ratio
according to the successive settings shown below.
(You can also change the aspect ratio by selecting the POSITION item in the
MAIN MENU and pressing ENTER.)
* “S4:3” or “S16:9” can be selected when NTSC, M-NTSC, PAL-M, PAL60,
525p and 525i signals are being input to the PT-AE300U. 
Illustrations for aspect ratio settings are shown on the next page. Refer to
this illustration for assistance in selecting a suitable aspect ratio.
About S1/S2 video signals:
BS1/S2 video signals are for 16:9 images and include a notification signal
when being played by devices such as a DVD player.
BWhen the projector is set to the “S1/S2” setting shown above, it will detect
those notification signals and automatically switch to the correct aspect
ratio for projection.
NOTE:
BThis projector is equipped with an aspect ratio selection function. However, if a
mode which does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal is selected, it
may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture. Keep this in mind when
selecting the aspect ratio.
BIf using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels with the aim of
displaying programmes for viewing for a commercial purpose or for public
presentation, note that if the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function is used to
change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights
of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws.
BIf a normal (4:3) picture which was not originally intended for wide-screen
viewing is projected onto a wide screen, distortion may occur around the edges
of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Such programmes
should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and
intentions of the original program’s creator.
BThe following signals have resolutions that are 16:9 image sizes. The aspect
ratios for these signals cannot be changed while being played because they
are already established. (Refer to page 61.)
HDTV60, HDTV50, 750p, WIDE 400/480/600/720/768
BImage sizes such as Cinema-Vision that project wider than the 16:9 ratio will
have narrow black fields at the top and bottom.S-VIDEO S1/S2\4:3\16:9\JUST\ZOOM\*S4:3\*S16:9
