Adjustments and settings
S4:3
The size of the input signal is
compressed to 75% and projected.
(This is useful for projecting a
picture with a 4:3 aspect ratio onto a
16:9 screen.)
AUTO
(S-VIDEO only)
When an S1 video signal is being
input, the aspect ratio is changed
automatically to project a 16:9
picture.
4:3
The input signal is projected without
change.
16:9
The picture is compressed to a ratio
of 16:9 and projected.ASPECT

S1 video signals
BS1 video signals are a type of
video signal with an aspect ratio
of 16:9 which include a detector
signal. This detector signal is
output by some sources such as
wide-vision video decks. 
BWhen “ASPECT” is set to
“AUTO”, the projector recognizes
the detector signal and
automatically switches the aspect
ratio to 16:9. When a horizontally
squeezed signal is
being input.When a 4:3 signal
is being input.

RESIZING
This should normally be set to “ON”.
(This setting is only for signals
which have lower resolutions than
the LCD panels. Refer to page 60
for details.)
ON
The pixel resolution of the input
signal is converted to the same
resolution as the LCD panels before
being projected. For signals with
lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels
are automatically interpolated into
the picture before it is projected.
This may sometimes cause
problems with the quality of the
picture.
OFF
The input signal is projected at its
original resolution, with no pixel
conversion. The projected picture
will be smaller than normal, so
adjust the zoom setting or move the
projector forwards or backwards to
adjust the picture size if necessary.
If set to “OFF”, some features, such
as “D.ZOOM” (digital zoom),
“KEYSTONE” or “INDEX WINDOW”
will not function.
FRAME LOCK
If the picture’s condition is bad while
a RGB moving picture is projected,
set “FRAME LOCK” to “ON”. Refer
to page 60 for compatible RGB
signals.
NOTE:
BIf a selected mode does not
match the aspect ratio of the
input signal, 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 to
display programs 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, or
part of the picture may not be
visible. Such programs should
be viewed in 4:3 mode to give
proper consideration to the
aims and intentions of the
original program’s creator.

Set to “ON” when “PICTURE
MODE” is set to “BLACK-BD”.
(Refer to page 37.)
BACK COLOR
This sets the color which is
projected onto the screen when no
signal is being input to the projector.
FRONT/REAR
This setting should be changed in
accordance with the projector
setting-up method. 
(Refer to page 19.)
FRONT
When the projector is placed in front
of a screen.
REAR
When using a translucent screen.
DESK/CEILING
This setting should be changed in
accordance with the projector 
setting-up method. 
(Refer to page 19.)
DESK
When the projector is placed on a
desk or similar.
CEILING

from a ceiling using the ceiling
bracket (sold separately).
FAN CONTROL
Set “FAN CONTROL” to “HIGH”,
when using this projector at high
elevations (above 1 400 m) only.
LAMP POWER
This setting changes the lamp
brightness. When set to “LOW”, the
luminance of the lamp is reduced,
but the projector uses less power,
and the operating noise is also
reduced. This can help to extend
the lamp’s operating life. If using the
projector in small rooms where high
luminance is not required, it is
recommended that you set the
“LAMP POWER” to “LOW”.

When the TEMP indicator and the
LAMP indicator are illuminated
There are two indicators on the control panel of the projector which give
information about the operating condition of the projector. These indicators
illuminate or flash to warn you about problems that have occurred inside the
projector, so if you notice that one of the indicators is on, turn off the power
and check the table below for the cause of the problem.
