Basic Operation
Channel and Program tuning in digital television differs 
from conventional television. With  DTV, many programs 
can exist within a single 6 MHz channel. These channels 
behave as sub-channels within a single channel. When 
tuning to a digital channel, the unit will also tune to a 
program and will indicate the channel and program in the 
on-screen Channel Banner display.
In order to select channels properly, Auto program must 
be performed. (p. 29)
Follow the procedure below to directly enter the channel 
number using the NUMBER keys on the Remote 
Control.

Press the  NUMBER keys on the 
Remote Control to enter the Channel 
number. Press OK.
The following is an example of tuning 
to channel 15.
If tuning a digital channel and your 
channel contains more than one 
program, press PROG and enter 
the program (1, 2, 3 etc.) using the 
NUMBER keys. Press OK. The

channel 15-1.Direct Tuning Example

Lets you choose the aspect mode based on the 
format of the received signal and your preference.
The aspect mode changes each time 
  ASPECT is pressed.Notes:
• When input mode is CARD, the aspect is set to 4:3 and 
cannot be changed.
• If the mode selected does not match the aspect ratio of the 
input signal, the original picture quality may be affected.
• If using this Projection Display in places, such as cafes or 
hotels, with the aim of displaying programs for a commercial 
purpose or for public presentation, please note that by using 
the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function to change the 
aspect ratio, you may be infringing on the rights of the original 
copyright owner of that program under copyright protection 
laws.
• If a 4:3 picture is projected in wide screen, distortion may 
occur around the edges so that part of the picture may no 
longer be visible. We recommend viewing in 4:3 mode so you 
can enjoy the picture as it was intended to be seen.
• During PC input, the mode switches between 4:3 and 
FULL only. • When an HD signal (1080i/720p) is received, the mode 
switches between FULL, H-FILL, JUST, and ZOOM.
