Notes on selecting the wide screen mode
The projector is featured with the WIDE MODE. When changing the settings of WIDE 
MODE, use caution as described below.
 Select the wide screen mode taking into account that changing the aspect ratio of the 
original picture will provide a different look from that of the original image.
 Note that if the projector is used for profit or for public viewing, modifying the original 
picture by switching to the wide mode may constitute an infringement of the rights of 
authors or producers, which are legally protected.
Zoom
A normal 16:9 aspect ratio picture is 
enlarged vertically and horizontally in the 
same ratio to fill the screen. Use this mode 
to view a letterbox picture or a letterbox 
picture with side panels.
If the subtitle of a movie, etc. is hidden 
and cannot be seen, adjust the screen with 
“Vertical Size” and “V Center” to display 
the subtitle. (1 page 45)
Anamorphic Zoom
A 2.35:1 aspect ratio picture is converted 
to a normal 16:9 picture on the screen. 
This mode is best suited when using a 
commercially available Anamorphic lens 
which converts a normal 16:9 aspect ratio 
picture to a 2.35:1 picture.
