switching the screen sizes between 4:3 
and 16:9.
4:3
When standard signals*1 are input, the

the pictures are displayed with the 
aspect ratio converted to 4:3.

aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10. 
Note
If an aspect ratio which is different from the aspect ratio  z

If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to  z
display programs for a commercial purpose or for public

Take care when using a function of the projector such as 
the aspect ratio adjustment, zoom function, etc.
If conventional (normal) 4:3 pictures which are not wide- z
