To optimize the image, use the buttons on the projector or remote control, the on-screen 
menus. For the operation of on-screen menus, refer to Using the menus on page 32.
The following instructions are optional. You do not following every step. It depends on the 
image quality you desire.
Correcting keystone
Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at either the 
top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. 
The projector can automatically detect and adjust the keystoning if the Auto Keystone 
function is On, which is the default for this projector. You can check the function out in the 
 Picture menu. It takes about 3 seconds after the projection starts for the image to 
be corrected.
If you need to manually correct the keystoning, 
perform the following steps. The Auto Keystone 
function becomes inactive once you make keystone 
adjustments through the hot keys or on-screen menus 
by yourself.
1. Adjust the projection angle of the projector.
2. Press the AU TO button on the projector or 
remote control.
3. If the image is still distorted, you can correct it 
by following ONE of these steps.
•Press /  on the projector or remote control to display the status bar 
labelled Keystone. Press   to correct keystoning at the top of the image. Press 
 to correct keystoning at the bottom of the image.
•Press MENU on the projector or remote control. Go to 
 Picture -->

							Operation 26
Selecting an application mode
The projector is preset with several predefined 
application modes so that you can choose one to 
suit your operating environment and input source 
picture type. To select a operation mode that suits 
your need, press MODE. The picture modes 
available for different types of signals are shown 
below. 
PC Signal Input
1.Presentation Mode (Default): Is designed for 
presentations. The brightness is emphasized 
in this mode to match PC and notebook coloring.
2.Brightest Mode: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is 
suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the 
projector in well lit rooms.
3.sRGB/Photo Mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images 
regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an 
sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing PC graphic and 
drawing applications such as AutoCAD.
4.Gaming Mode: Is suitable for playing PC-based games in a bright living room.
5.Video Mode: Is appropriate for playing movies, video clips from digital cameras or 
DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light) environment.
YPbPr/ S-Video/ Video Signal Input
1.Movie Mode (Default): Is suitable for enjoying colorful movies and TV in a home 
darkened (not bright) lounge room lighting level environment. 
2.Cinema Mode: Is suitable for enjoying DVD movies best viewed in a blackened (little 
light) home cinema or lounge room environment.
3.Gaming Mode: Is suitable for playing gamebox-based video games in a normal living 
room lighting level environment.
4.Photo Mode: Is perfect for viewing digital photos taken in daylight with an sRGB 
compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing Photo CDs. The color 
saturation and brightness are well-balanced.

Other adjustments
If you are not satisfied with the picture quality made by the preset modes. You can manually 
adjust some of the settings through the OSD menus.
1. Adjusting brightness
Press MENU on the projector or remote control. Go to  Picture --> Brightness 
and adjust the values by pressing Left/ Right on the projector or remote control.
The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower the setting, darker the image. Adjust 
this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark 
areas is visible.
It is possible that you may see the center of the projected image is slightly brighter than the 
corners. This is a normal behavior because the projector doesn’t carry brightness evenly 
throughout the image it projects, which causes an uneven distribution of light output on the 
image you see. 
2. Adjusting contrast
Press MENU on the projector or remote control. Go to  Picture --> Contrast and 
adjust the values by pressing Left/ Right on the projector or remote control.
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. 
3. Selecting a color temperature
Press MENU on the projector or remote control. Go to  Picture --> Color Temp 
and adjust the values by pressing Left/ Right on the projector or remote control.
There are four color temperature* settings available.
1.T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish 
white than other settings.
2.T2: Makes images appear bluish white.
3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4.T4: Makes images appear reddish white.
*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

high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.
Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is higher than 
3000 feet above sea level, or is hotter than 40°C, or whenever the projector will be used for 
extended periods of time (>10 hours) without shutdown.
To activate the High Altitude Mode, go to 
  Advance --> High Altitude Mode , 
select On by pressing  Left/  Right  on the projector or remote control. A confirmation 
message displays. Press  AU TO.
Next time you turn on the projector, it will show a message pictured below as a reminder 
during the start-up.
Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a higher decibel operating noise level 
because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and 
performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display 
auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. 
In cases like this, you should switch to Hi gh Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. 
However, this is not to state that this pr ojector can operate under any and all harsh or 
extreme conditions.
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode by selecting On 
when your environment is higher than 3000 feet, or is hotter than 40°C.
Do you want to turn on High Altitude Mode?Yes  Auto       No 
Current Status
High Altitude Mode     On
This mode is used for protecting projector from extreme environment and may cause high  fan speed.

Hiding the image
In order to draw the audience’s full attention to the 
presenter, you can use BLANK to hide the screen 
image. Press any key on the control panel to restore 
the image. The word ‘BLANK’ appears at the bottom 
right corner of the screen while the image is hidden. 
When this function is activated with a valid audio 
input connected, the audio can still be heard. 
You can set the blank time in the 
 
Advance --> Blank Time 
menu to let the projector 
return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action taken on the 
blank screen.
Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to 
become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
Remote paging operations
Connect the projector to your PC or notebook with a USB cable prior 
to using this function.
You can operate your display software program (on a connected PC) which 
responds to page up/down commands (like Microsoft PowerPoint) by 
pressing 
PA G E  U P or PA G E  D OW N on the remote control. See 
Connecting a computer on page 15 for details. 
Freezing the image
Press the FREEZE button on the remote control to freeze the image. 
An icon   will display in the lower right corner of the screen. To 
release the function, press the FREEZE button on the remote 
control, or the SOURCE button on the projector control panel. Note 
that pressing the SOURCE button will also change the input source.
Even if an image is frozen on the screen, the pictures are running on 
the video or other device. If the connected devices have active audio 
output, you will still hear the audio even though the image is frozen.
Personalizing the projector menu display
The On-Screen Display (OSD) menus can be set according to your preferences. The 
following settings do not affect the projection settings, operation, or performance.
