Notes
*1: • Note that if the projector is used for profit or for public viewing, modifying the original picture by switching to the aspect mode may constitute an infringement of the rights of authors or producers, which are legally protected.
•Depending on the input signal, setting items for aspect ratio or some other setting items cannot be set in some cases, or changing the aspect ratio setting may have no effect.
•A part of the image may be displayed in black, depending on the setting item.
*2: Available when a computer signal is input from the RGB input terminal (INPUT A/INPUT B). *3: If the projected image includes large amount of black portion around it, the APA function will not work properly and a part of the image may not be displayed on the screen and also optimum image cannot be obtained, depending on the type of input signal. In this case, adjust the “Phase,”
“Pitch,” and “Shift” items manually.
*4: Available when a computer or a video signal is input from the RGB/YPBPR input terminal (INPUT A).
*5: When “APA” (page 21) or “Smart APA” (page 24) is performed, the adjusted value for “Pitch” will return to its factory default. If you want to continue using the adjusted value, set “Smart APA” to “Off.”
