Thisdetector signal is output by somesources such as wide-vision videodecks. If the AUTO setting above isselected, this projector will recognisethe detector signal and automaticallyswitch the aspect ratio to 16:9 inorder to project the picture.B This projector is equipped with anaspect ratio selection function.However, if a mode which doesnot match the aspect ratio of theinput signal is selected, it mayaffect the quality of viewing of theoriginal picture. Keep this in mindwhen selecting the aspect ratio.B If using this projector in placessuch as cafes or hotels with theaim of displaying programmes forviewing for a commercial purposeor for public presentation, notethat if the aspect ratio (16:9)selection function is used tochange the aspect ratio of thescreen picture, you may beinfringing the rights of the originalcopyright owner for thatprogramme under copyrightprotection laws.B If a normal (4:3) picture whichwas not originally intended forwide-screen viewing is projectedonto a wide screen, distortionmay occur around the edges ofthe picture so that part of thepicture is no longer visible.

For signals withlower resolutions, gaps in the pixelsare automatically interpolated intothe picture before it is projected.This may sometimes causeproblems with the quality of thepicture.OFFThe picture signal is projected at itsoriginal resolution, with no pixelconversion. The projected picturewill be smaller than normal, soadjust the zoom setting or move theprojector forwards or backwards toadjust the picture size if necessary.If set to “OFF”, some features, suchas D.ZOOM (digital zoom) orkeystone distortion correction willnot function.AUTO SETUPThis item functions in the same wayas the AUTO SETUP button on theremote control unit.
