*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be “white” for 
various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white 
color is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color 
temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color 
temperature appears to have more blue in it.

the selected 
Application 
mode)
Adjusts the brightness of the image. The higher the value, the brighter the 
image. And lower the value, the darker the image. Adjust this control so 
the black areas of the image appear as black and that detail in the dark 
areas is visible.
Contrast 
(depends on 
the selected 
Application 
mode)
Adjusts the degree of difference between dark and light in the image. The 
higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white 
level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your 
selected input and viewing environment.
Color 
(depends on 
the selected 
input source)Increases or decreases the color intensity of the image.
Tint (50)
Adjusts the color tones of the image. The higher the value, the more 
greenish the image becomes. The lower the value, the more reddish the 
image becomes.

conversion. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image 
will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the 
zoom setting or move the projector away from the screen to increase the 
image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after 
making these adjustments.
