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 
analog RGB signal (480/60i, 480/60p).
 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 scre\
en images may be an infringement of the rights of the original 
copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws. 

Take 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 
creator of the images.

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 structure a multi-display screen.  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 structuring a multi-display screen using both horizontal and vertical edge blending, adjust [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] first before 
making adjustments in Step  12)

 f The tilt adjustment of the border between [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] and [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] is a function to perform 
edge blending together with the adjustment in [SCREEN 

ADJUSTMENT] (x   page   74). If the area of [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK
