decrease their height. If there are system-generated top/bottom borders already present
(for example, when the input aspect ratio is 16:9 and the output aspect ratio is 4:3), the
border height cannot be decreased beyond the base height created by the aspect ratio
conversion. Borders are automatically added by the system when the Active Input Aspect
Ratio is not the same as the Output Aspect Ratio as explained earlier in this guide. However
you can add more borders using the Borders menu.
Presets
You can specify the Input Aspect Ratio by using the Presets or Manually.
Using Presets
You can use Presets with either the OSD or the Remote Control Input Aspect Ratio button. Refer to
the Preset sub-menu in the Input AR menu for doing this with the OSD. The remote control operation
is described below.
• 4:3 Selects 4:3 Full Frame without OSD.
• 16:9 Selects 16:9 Full Frame without OSD.
Pushing the Input Aspect Ratio button repeatedly toggles between 4:3 Full Frame, Letterbox, 16:9
Full Frame, 4:3 Stretch, and Preset 1 through Preset 10 and User. You can also navigate through
these presets using the p and q buttons, along with Enter to conrm the selection.
The ten user-dened preset value selections (Preset 1 - 10) are stored in non-volatile memory and
are always available.
Each of these presets consists of the following:
• Frame Aspect Ratio
• Active Input Aspect Ratio
• Zoom parameter
• Pan parameter
• Borders
The User preset selection is also stored in non-volatile memory. However the User selection is
always updated after you modify any pre-dened aspect ratio setting. In order to permanently
keep a custom aspect ratio setting, you must save it to one of the four preset selections.
Setting the Input Aspect Ratio Manually
You can set the following parameters manually:
• Frame Aspect Ratio
• Active Input Aspect Ratio
• Zoom factor
• Pan parameter
• Borders (horizontal and vertical)
Save User-dened presets as follows:
• Customize the aspect ratio manually (refer to Setting the Input Aspect Ratio Manually above).
• Select one of the presets from the ‘Save User To’ menu. Conrm the action by selecting ‘Yes’.
• There are 10 user-denable presets available.
NOTE: Be careful, because saving to a preset deletes the previous preset. If you have not customized the
aspect ratio, and the current aspect ratio settings are the same as a system dened preset. In this case,
the system will not allow you to save the preset setting.
