Choosing The Aspect Ratio - Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3020plus User Manual

Choosing the Aspect Ratio

In many cases, video signals are automatically resized to
fit on your screen when
setting. You may need to change the size of the image
(or aspect ratio) for certain image types by pressing the
button on the remote control.
Aspect
Select one of these settings:
■ Normal
images, or images with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
■ Full
for images recorded in 16:9 (wide-screen) format and squeeze mode.
■ Zoom
for letterbox images.
■ Wide
for expanding a 4:3 image to 16:9 so it fills the whole screen. This stretches only
the right and left sides of the image; the central part is unchanged.
Note: When displaying 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signals from HDMI or Component video sources,
the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the source device and you cannot change it.
If you display a 4:3 image using the Zoom setting, the top and bottom will be cut off. You can use
the Zoom Caption Pos. option and other settings to resize and reposition the image. For details,
see page 52.
For details on how the projector resizes the picture when you choose an Aspect setting, see
page 77.
