Controlling the Picture and Sound
You can use the remote control to preview and select your picture
sources, temporarily turn o the picture and sound, freeze the action,
zoom in on the picture, and adjust the volume.

On the remote control, there are four Source buttons. Use them
to switch between equipment connected to the port identied on
each button, or to project through a network.
After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the
image appears.

Adjusting the Aspect Ratio
You can use the Aspectbutton on the remote control to adjust how
an image ts into the display area. Each time you press the button, the
projector changes to the next setting.
When Connected to Video Equipment
If you’re projecting from video equipment such as a DVD player, set
the projector’s Aspect setting to match that of the player. For
example, if the video player is set to output images at a 16:9 aspect
ratio, set the projector’s Aspectsetting to16:9 so they match. If the
player outputs images at a 4:3 aspect ratio, select 4:3 (PowerLite
85/825)or Normal(PowerLite 85/826W).

Note that the projector’s native aspect ratio is narrower than 16:9.
Therefore, widescreen movies and HDTV broadcasts will display with
black bars at the top and bottom when 16:9 is selected as the Aspect
setting. For the PowerLite 826W, you can select Full to stretch the
image vertically to ll the whole projection area.
When Connected to a Computer
For computer images, Normal is usually the best setting to select.
This displays the image at the largest possible size without stretching
it. For computers with wide-panel WXGA displays, the PowerLite
826W displays the image at WXGA resolution, making full use of the
display area; likewise, the PowerLite 85/825 displays XGA images to
their best advantage.
Depending on your computer display and projector model, you may
see black bars at the edges. In that case, try selecting 16:9. The
PowerLite 826W also lets you select:
Full to stretch the image to ll the whole projection area
Zoom to t the image in one dimension only, with the other
dimension cut o
Throughto display the image without stretching or scaling it
If the resolution of the image is the same as the projector’s, changing
the
Aspectsetting has no eect. Also, if you’re projecting through
your computer’s USB port, you can’t change the projector’s aspect
ratio; instead, change your computer’s resolution to match that of the
projector.
note
If part of the image remains
cut o, check theprojector’s
Resolution setting (see
page 92). Select Normalor
Wide, depending on the size
of your computer’s display
panel.
