Wide-screen signals are input signals with an aspect ratio of 16:10, 16:9, 15:9 or 15:10.
Note
 f Some size modes are not available for certain types of input signals. [DEF AUL T] cannot be selected for video signal, Y/C signal (NTSC), or 
RGB (480i, 480p) signal.
 f If an aspect ratio which is dif

ferent from the aspect ratio for the input signals is selected, the images will appear dif ferently from the originals. 
Be careful of this when selecting the aspect ratio.
 f If using the projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display programs for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that 
adjusting the aspect ratio or using the zoom function to change the screen images may be an infringement of the rights of the original 
copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws.  T

ake care when using a function of the projector such as the aspect ratio 
adjustment and zoom function.
 f If conventional (normal) 4:3 images which are not wide-screen images are displayed on a wide screen, the edges of the images may not 
be visible or they may become distorted. Such images should be viewed as with an aspect ratio of 4:3 in the original format intended by the

Note
 f [BRIGHTNESS  ADJUST] is a function that makes the increased brightness in black level of the overlapping image area difficult to notice 
when [EDGE BLENDING] is used to configure multiple screens. The optimal point of correction is set by adjusting [NON-OVERLAPPED 
BLACK LEVEL] so the black level of the overlapping image area will be the same level as the non-overlapping area. If the border area of the 
part where the image is overlapping and the non-overlapping part gets brighter after adjusting [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL], adjust 
the width of the top, bottom, left, or right. Adjust [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] when the width adjustment makes only the border area darker.
 f The 

joining part may look discontinuous depending on the position you are looking from when a screen with high gain or rear screen is used.
 fWhen configuring multiple screens using both horizontal and vertical edge blending, adjust [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] first before 
making adjustments in Step  12)

. Adjustment method is same as the procedure of [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL].
 fIf only horizontal or vertical edge blending is used, set all items in [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] to 0. f[AUT

O TESTPATTERN] settings change together with the [AUTO TESTPATTERN] of [COLOR MATCHING].
 fAdjustment of the tilt of the border between [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] and [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] is a function to perform 
the adjustment of [GEOMETR
