Basic Operation
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 a 1080p (HDMI) signal is received, the aspect is set to 
FULL and cannot be changed.
• 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.
