Our displayed image is too large for our screen. Is moving the projector closer the only way to make the image smaller? Confusing instructions.

Isn't there a zoom ring on the top of the projector you can move left to right to increase & decrease the image size? I'd imagine it's next to the focus ring

The image will fill the 18 x 24 space. You just have to get the projector far enough away and focus it properly. It just takes some fooling around with until you get it the way you want it.

I'm not sure. I think the screen I project onto is about that size but the image doesn't FILL the screen. But I've just tried projecting slides, etc., from my laptop for a class; I haven't tried projecting movies yet.

The further back you put it, the larger the image. However, I have found: a "good" image around 48-52 inch diagonal on a real roll up screen in a very dark room. Anything else I said would be theory.

Couple of questions.1. Is your projector a short throw or long?2. What is your desired screen size?

When the pictures are various dimensions, does it put black or another color on the unused screen areas? My concern is that it should not stretch or change the width to height ratio.

I would call their tech support. I bought this projector and LOVE IT. I called them with the screen size and the distance and they told me exactly where to place it and how far down it had to hang.

The projector doesn't really matter because they all are adjustable when it comes to the size of the picture they project. The screen you are looking at will accept an 8 foot image. If you are looking to project a bigger image they do make screens that are larger in size.I have this screen and it works great for me. We use it outdoors and can watch a movie from over 50 feet away and no one has a problem seeing the picture.

Take care to have something near in the foreground. I display the images on a 50" HDTV and it feels like you can just get up and into the picture. Good choice!

I'm on 110 in screen which is frankly to big for the room, but you free like your watching IMAX or 3D of every show because stuff is so big. I most likly should have done 8ft screen max. My room is only 18 long so I have the projector on the ceiling at 17ft and the screen on the other side. My main seating are is 12 ft from the screen making my 110 in seem like 20ft instead of 10ft plus

The image can be as large as you want, but it gets dimmer as it gets larger as with any projector. You can use this calculator to get an idea of the distance-to-screen vs image-size ratio http://www.projectorcentral.com/InFocus-IN116-projection-calculator-pro.htm

I had that issue at first. Try adjusting the display settings first, you may have to adjust the actual picture size if it's just too big.

I'm not sure, so I just walked outside and measured the approximate distance from where the projector was on Saturday. I would say about 11 - 12 feet. You could probably pull back the projector more but you would need a really big screen and you may loose some of the crisp image quality...maybe I'll make a bigger screen and test it out...

Hi again, you should take a look for VGA - DVI scalers. From there convert the DVI to HDMI. For example, Gefen makes a VGA-DVI Scaler Plus, or Extron makes a RGB-DVI 300(?). The key is to be able to scale the popular 1920x1200 output from your projector to 1920 x 1080.

put the projector further from the screen, the further you put it the bigger the object mine at present is at 14 foot from the screen and its 144"

You have to flip the projector up side down. If it doesn't line up after trying it a few different ways then you got the wrong mount. (it took me a minute to figure it out)

Adjust the aspect ratio of your television/projector/display. You are likely zoomed in causing the edges of the image from the DMP-BD70V to be pushed off screen. If you test this against other sources, e.g. cable/satellite television, or computer, you should notice graphics close to the edges of the display being cut off. If other sources display correctly consult the DMP-BD70V manual for aspect ratio settings. Look for "Aspect", "Zoom", "Normal", "Letterbox", "16:9", "4:3" keyword when researching this issue further. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any additional information concerning the issue. Thanks
