This changes the display area (the part of projected images).
• Normal (92% display) : Input signals are projected at the normal image size. TV images are
displayed at 92% size.
• Larger (100% display) : The areas at the top, bottom and sides of images that cannot normally be seen
are inserted and projected. Interference may occur at the top or bottom of the
images depending on the image signal. In such cases, try to adjust the display
position (Position).  p.30
• Auto : Displayed when the signals from [HDMI

This sets automatic adjustment to on or off in order to set whether the projector automatically adjusts
images to their optimum condition when the input signal is changed. The three automatically adjusted
items are Tracking
 , Position and Sync .
All the adjustment values on the Image menu, except Aspect
, are returned to their default values.
(If the aspect mode is set to Wide, keystone correction cannot be set.) 
This is used to correct keystone distortion in images. The same correction can be carried out using the
projectors control panel.  p.17
When the main power switch is turned on, you can set for projection to start (On) / not start (Off) without
pressing  or . 
When set to On with the power left on, be aware that sudden surges of electricity that may occur when
the power comes back on after a power outage may cause the projector to turn on. 
The projector is equipped with a power-saving function that causes the power to turn off automatically
and the projector to switch to standby if no signal is input to the projector for a continuous length of time.
The length of time before the power-saving function operates can be selected from four available settings.
If Off is selected, the power-saving function will not operate.
If you press   while the projector is in standby mode, projection will start again.
This turns the trigger function on and off to determine whether the projectors power on/off status and
problems with projector operation are communicated to an external device.
If you change the setting, the new setting will take effect after the power has been turned off and the cool-
down  period is complete. 
This locks the power on function of the   button on the projectors control panel, so that a child cannot
accidentally turn the projectors power on and look into the projectors lens. When the lock is applied, the
power will only turn on if   is pressed down for about 3 seconds.    can be used to turn off the power,
