    Menu Description
    Format Select the aspect ratio of the projected image.
    Aspect Ratio Description
    4:3 Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV, and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
    16:9 Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV.
    Native Projects the image as its original resolution and resizes it to fit within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will be displayed in its original size.
    Auto Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector’s native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make the most use of the screen without altering the image’s aspect ratio.
    LBX For non-16:9 letterbox source and if you use an external 16:9 lens to display 2.35:1 aspect ratio in full resolution.
    Edge Mask Remove the video encoding noise on the edge of the video source.
