Ceiling mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant

experience using your BenQ projector,

so we need to bring this safety matter

to your attention to prevent possible

damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector

on the ceiling, we strongly recommend

that you use a proper fitting BenQ

projector ceiling mount kit and that

you ensure it is securely and safely

installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand projector

ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk

that the projector may fall from the

ceiling due to an improper attachment

through the use of the wrong gauge or

length screws.

You can purchase a BenQ projector

ceiling mount kit from the place you

purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ

recommends that you also purchase a

separate Kensington lock compatible

security cable and attach it securely to

both the Kensington lock slot on the

projector and the base of the ceiling

mount bracket. This will perform the

secondary role of restraining the

projector should its attachment to the

mounting bracket become loose.

Operation 35

English

Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. For W700/W710ST, the

default aspect ratio is 16:9. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV

and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can

namically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image

input signal.

To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):

1. Press MENU/E

XIT and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.

2. Press

to highlight Aspect Ratio.

3. Press

/ to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your

display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active

areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.

1. 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 in 4:3

nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of

the screen without altering the image's

aspect ratio.

2. Real:

The image is projected as its original

resolution, and resized to fit within the

display area. For input signals with lower

resolutions, the projected image will

display smaller than if resized to full

screen. You could adjust the zoom setting
