•No resizing displays the image in its native resolution, which may or may not match the projector’s 
resolution. For example, for a source with a native resolution of 800 x 600, “No Resizing” in an SXGA+ 
projector will use the central 800 x 600 pixels and have a black border. The black border areas are unused 
areas, see below.
•Full size uses all pixels for displaying the image, regardless of source or original aspect ratio....

3.5.8 Keep Aspect On Auto Setup

disabled and the source is not a special case video source where a default stretch is defined, the source is scaled 
to fit the platform.

•Filter: The proper filter setting is automatically set for virtually all signals, and rarely needs to be changed. 
Override only if standard pixel tracking and phase adjustments do not adequately clear up a “noisy” video 
signal, or if a graphics signal appears overly “soft”. Both instances indicate that “Filter” may be set to the 
wrong option.
•Sampling Mode: Sets the color sampling mode for a digital signal to either YCbCr...

3.6.6 Input Levels - Submenu 
NOTES: 1) Because the projector automatically optimizes input levels for all but the most unusual of sources, 
it is recommended that only experienced users use the Input Levels submenu. 2) Before beginning, check that 
overall contrast and brightness settings are near 50 and that color temperature is properly set up on an 
internal gray scale test pattern. 3) See 3.1.6 Remote Keypad Commands,...
