Fine-tuning the image size and clarity
Correcting keystone
Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at either the 
top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. 
To correct this, besides adjusting the height of 
the projector, you will need to manually correct 
it following ONE of these steps.
1. Press  Left3/Right 4 on the control panel of 
the projector to display the status bar labelled 
Keystone. Press Left 3 to correct keystoning at 
the top of the image. Press Right4 to correct 
keystoning at the bottom of the image.
2. Press /  on the remote control to 
display the status bar labelled Keystone, then 
press  to correct keystoning at the top of the 
image or press   to correct keystoning at the bottom of the image.
3. Press 6 Menu on the projector or Menu on the remote control. Go to 
 Pro-
Picture > Keystone
 and adjust the values by pressing Left 3/Right 4 on the projector or 
Left 3/Right 4 on the remote control.
1. Adjust the projected image to the size 
that you need using the zoom ring. 2. Then sharpen the image by rotating 
the focus ring.

							Operation 28For example, 
Selecting the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and 
computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital TV and DVDs 
are usually in 16:9 ratio.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can 
dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image 
input source. 
You can change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is) by entering 
 Pro-Picture >  Aspect Ratio. Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the 
video signal and your display requirements. There are three aspect ratios available:
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active 
areas.
1.Native: The image is projected at its original aspect ratio, and resized to fit within the 
display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display 
smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom setting or move the 
projector towards the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need 
to refocus the projector after making these adjustments.
2.4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like 
computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD 
movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
3.16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are 
already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them 
without aspect alteration.
16:9 aspect ratio is only sourced through the Component Video input when 
being fed an appropriate 16:9 aspect signal. See Connecting a Component Video source 
device on page 20 and Obtaining a preferred projected image size on page 14 for details.

							Operation 29
Selecting a picture mode
The projector is preset with several predefined 
application modes so that you can choose one to 
suit your operating environment and input 
source picture type. To select a operation mode 
that suits your need, press MODE repeatedly 
until your desired mode is selected. The picture 
modes available for different types of signals are 
listed below. 
PC Signal Input
1.Dynamic Mode (Default): Maximizes the 
brightness of the projected image. This 
mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as 
using the projector in well lit rooms.
2.Presentation Mode: Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this 
mode to match PC and notebook coloring.
3.sRGB Mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images 
regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an 
sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing PC graphic and 
drawing applications such as AutoCAD.
4.Cinema Mode: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from digital 
cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light) 
environment.
5.Blackboard Mode: Is designed for educational use. Images are allowed to be projected 
on a dark background, such as a blackboard instead of a normal screen. It is most 
suitable for a well lit environment with a dark background for projection.
YPbPr/S-Video/Video Signal Input
1.Dynamic Mode: Is suitable for playing gamebox-based video games in a normal living 
room lighting level environment.
2.Standard Mode (Default): Is appropriate for viewing colorful movies, video clips 
from digital cameras or DVs.
3.Cinema Mode: Is suitable for enjoying dark movies or DVD movies best viewed in a 
blackened (little light) home cinema or lounge room environment.
4.Blackboard Mode: Is designed for educational use. Images are allowed to be projected 
on a dark background, such as a blackboard instead of a normal screen. It is most 
suitable for a well lit environment with a dark background for projection.

become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
