    How do I fix a Sony VPL-EW5 image that extends beyond the screen?
    • K
      Kristin StewartAug 28, 2025
      If the image extends beyond the screen on your Sony Projector, here's what you can do: * If the APA key has been pressed even though there are black edges around the image, display the full image on the screen and press the APA key. Adjust “Shift” on the INPUT SETTING menu properly. * If the input signal cannot be projected as the frequency is out of the acceptable range of the projector, input a signal that is within the range of the frequency. * If the resolution setting of the output signal of the computer is too high, set the output setting to SVGA (VPL-ES5), XGA (VPL-EX50/ EX5) or WXGA (VPL-EW5).
