    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. See Application 
    Mode on page 33 for details.
    Switching input signal
    The projector can be connected to multiple devices 
    at the same time. However, it can only display one at 
    a time. To cycle through the available input sources, 
    press the Source button on the projector control 
    panel or the remote control. The selected source 
    name will display at the center of the screen for 3 
    seconds after each button press.
    The brightness level of the projected image will 
    change accordingly when you switch between 
    different input signals. Data (graphic) PC 
    presentations using mostly static images are 
    generally brighter than Video using mostly moving 
    images (movies).
    The input type effects the options available for the Application Mode. See Selecting an 
    application mode on page 29 for details.

    Color Temp 
    (depends on 
    the selected 
    Application 
    mode)
    There are four color temperature* settings are 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. 
    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.
    When a Video or S-Video signal is connected, the function is only 
    available with NTSC system selected.
