Notes on selecting an aspect setting

  • If you select an aspect setting different from the original one, such as TV programs, a projected image will be displayed differently from the original image. Pay attention when selecting the aspect setting.
  • Note that if the unit is used for profit or for public viewing in a cafe or hotel, modifying the original image, such as dividing, shrinking, or stretching a display, by changing the aspect may constitute an infringement of the rights of authors or producers, which are legally protected.

Note

  • Selectable aspect settings vary depending on an input signal.
  • When a computer signal is input, you cannot select the aspect setting.
