Operation 37 Picture menu Some picture adjustments are available only when certain input sources are in use. Unavailable adjustments are not shown on the screen. FUNCTION (default setting / value) DESCRIPTION Picture Mode (PC: Dynamic; YPbPr/ S- Video/ Video: Standard)Pre-defined application modes are provided so you can optimize your projector image set-up to suit your program type. You can use the remote control Mode button to select a predefined application mode. See Selecting a picture mode on page 29 for details. Color Temp (depends on the selected Application mode) 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 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. Brightness (depends on the selected input source) Adjusts the brightness of the image. 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. Contrast (depends on the selected input source) 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. 50-30+70 -30 50+70 Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals

Operation 39 Pro-Picture menu Some picture adjustments are available only when certain input sources are in use. Unavailable adjustments are not shown on the screen. FUNCTION (default setting / value) DESCRIPTION Keystone (0)Corrects any keystoning of the image. Refer to Correcting keystone on page 27 for more information. Auto Resize (on) Automatically resizes the input signal pixel resolution to the native resolution of the projector. On: The pixel resolution of the input signal is converted to the native resolution of the projector (800 x 600). For input signals with lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels are automatically interpolated into the image before being projected. This may distort the image clarity. Off: If larger than the native resolution of the projector, the image is resized to fit within the display area. Some resolution may be lost. 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 towards the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after making these adjustments. Aspect Ratio (Native)There are three options to set the images aspect ratio depending on your input signal source. See Selecting the aspect ratio on page 28 for details. H Position (0) Adjusts the horizontal position of the projected image. V Position (0) Adjusts the vertical position of the projected image. Phase (depends on the selected input source)Adjusts the video input clock to synchronise with the video signal. This helps reduce image distortion produced by some PC video timings. H Size (0)Adjusts the horizontal width of the image. -30+30 -30+30 Downloaded From projector-manual.com BenQ Manuals

Operation 42 High Altitude Mode (off) A mode for operation in areas like high altitude or high temperature. 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, select On by pressing Left 3/Right 4on the projector or remote control. A confirmation message displays. Press6. 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 High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or extreme conditions. Auto Off (Off) This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected after a set period of time. Press Left 3/Right 4on the projector or remote control to set the duration before the projector is turned off. Economic Mode (off) Use this mode to reduce system noise and reduce power consumption by 20%. If this mode is activated, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected images. Setting the projector in Economic mode extends the lamp timer automatic shutdown feature. For more information on how the total lamp hour is calculated, see Calculation of lamp hour on page 45. Presentation TimerHelps to remind the presenter to finish the presentation within a certain timeframe. Refer to Setting the presentation timer on page 33 for more information.

Maintenance 45 Lamp information Calculation of lamp hour When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows: Total (equivalent) lamp hour = (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode) See Economic Mode (off) on page 42 for more information on Economic mode. The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 2/3 of that in normal mode. That is, using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp life by 1/3. Warning message When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode. For more detailed information on projector warnings, please refer to Indicators on page 49. The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp. MessageStatus Total (equivalent) lamp hour has reached 3000 hours. Install a new lamp for optimal performance. Total (equivalent) lamp hour has reached 3950 hour.
