Size of the projected screen
Because the projection image from this projector is SVGA (800x600 dots), an XGA 
image will be compressed.
If the picture Þle is less than VGA (640x480 dots) and the expanded projection 
feature is on, the picture will expand as follows: 640 800, 480 600.

size.
The larger the Þle size, the longer it will take (from whenC or V is pressed) to 
project the picture.
