Eye Safety Warnings
▀■ Avoid staring directly into the projector beam at all times.
▀■ Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back to
the beam as much as possible.
▀■ A stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need for
the user to enter the beam.
▀■ Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight from
the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters
look at the audience, they do not also have to stare at the projector lamp. The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-mounting rather than floor or table-mounting the projector.
▀■ When projector is used in a classroom, adequately supervise
students when they are asked to point out something on the
screen.
▀■ In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room blinds
to reduce ambient light levels.

Detail informations about LBX mode :
1. Some Letter-Box DVD contents are not enhanced for 16x9 TV,
then image will not look right in 16:9 display.
One can use 4:3 mode to view the correct info.
But if the content itself is not 4:3, it will have black bars
around the image in a 16:9 display. For this kind of content,
you can use LBX mode to fill the image in the 16x9 display as
much as possible.
2. If you use an external 16x9 lens, this LBX mode also allows
you to watch a 2.35:1 content (include Anamorphic DVD and
HDTV film source) that support anamorphic wide is en-
hanced for 16x9 Display in a wide 2.35:1 image.
In this case, there are no black bars, the full lamp power and
vertical resolution is fully utilized for maximum viewing ef-
fects.
Other than these two occasions, one should stay with 16:9
and 4:3 modes for most viewing experiences.
