I have followed your directions perfectly and they have been very helpful, thank you. My only problem is when I set the lens for 16:9 to include the blanking and save it, then set the lens for 2.35:1 to include the blanking, the blanking only saves the last memory (2.35:1). When I go back to the 16:9 memory, the blanking for the 2.35:1 is still there. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm coming from an old panasonic ptae7000 which has a similar lens memory function to an epson 9400. The panasonic had auto sensing of the stored aspect ratio and would change to 16:9 or 2.35:1 depending on what aspect ratio is being fed. Does the epson 9400 have this function, or do you have to manually select the stored aspect ratio?
Hi John. It’s a common misunderstanding. What obviously wasn’t made clear is that the memory functions are for people with scope or 2.35:1 screens. The more popular choice of screen is 16:9 and then this function is not used.
Why does it look like it 2.35:1 it cuts off the picture of the air ballon. Does it not allow the full picture as it was intended in that mode? Was it because the picture was a native 16:9?
Yes mate, the picture is cut off at the top and bottom because it's a 16:9 aspect ratio image that is being projected onto a wider aspect ratio screen .. Only a (lets call it a panoramic) 2.35:1 image can show the entire picture on a 2.35:1 cinemascope screen. I you wanted to completely fill the screen with the air ballon image (without cutting any off), you would have to project it onto a 16.9 ratio screen
I can’t make my screen larger. It is as in your video…small. I only see how to adjust the focus…nothing about the size? Also tried plugging in a Roku stream stick and my Apple TV into the HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. It doesn’t work. Says message about hd or something. How do I hook sound up? There is no audio output?
These instructions are specific to the LS11000 and LS12000. (Also works with 9400 - but the menu looks different) If you are using one of these projectors you use the [Lens] button on the remote. This scrolls round - 1st press FOCUS, 2nd press ZOOM (the one you're looking for), 3rd press LENS SHIFT. You wouldn't normally plug a ROKU or Apple TV directly into a projector. You would normally plug all your input devices (Roku, Blu-ray, satellite box, etc) into an AVR, then plug the AVR into the projector. The AVR is then used for video switching and audio.
Just got the LS 12000. So your setup information is so very useful
What size screen do you have? Are you happy with it?

How about IMAX screen version
How do we set up memories for 2.0 & 1.85? They always come up on the screen as 16:9 format
are you sure this lens blanking is on TW9400 too?
Blanking is in the settings menu on the 9400.
@@jamesdrummie8302 thank you, i found it, but light still there 😁
it just digital blanking

You have to press the lens1 or lens2 button. It does not auto detect.
What am I missing here. Why would this be necessary? The projector already has controls for native 16:9 or 2.35:1 content.
