Panasonic pt-ae700e User Manual

NOTE:
B If a selected mode does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal, it

may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture.

B If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels to display

programmes for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that
if the aspect ratio selection function is used to change the aspect ratio of
the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights of the original copyright
owner for that programme under copyright protection laws.

B If a 4:3 picture is projected onto a 16:9 screen, distortion may occur around the

edges of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Programmes
which have 4:3 aspect ratios should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper
consideration to the aims and intentions of the original programme’s creator.

B Image sizes such as Cinema-Vision that project wider than the 16:9

ratio will have narrow black fields at the top and bottom.

B “AUTO” will be displayed according to the type of the signals being input.

When set to “AUTO”, the projector switches the aspect ratio automatically
if the input signal has a detector signal.

B You can also change the aspect ratio from the “POSITION” menu.
B When set to “V SCROLL”, vertical position can be adjusted by pressing the G and

F buttons (close the “POSITION” menu screen before adjusting vertical position).

This projector allows you to change the aspect ratio to match the type of
input signal.
