About HDMI

HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standards, enhanced and high-definition video formats as well as all existing multichannel audio formats. One jack supports both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861D*2 compliant consumer electronic device, such as a Set Top Box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high-definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of this unit, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i formats. Select the output of the connected device to match that of the unit.

*1 HDMI/HDCP = High-Definition Multimedia Interface / High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection.

ASPECT Con trols

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.
