    Though the password function is disabled, you need to keep the old password in hand should 
    you ever need to re-activate the password function by entering the old password.
    Switching input signal
    The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only 
    display one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically search for the 
    available signals.
    Be sure the Quick Auto Search function in the SOURCE menu is On (which is the default of 
    this projector) if you want the projector to automatically search for the signals.
    You can also manually cycle through the available 
    input sources.
    1. Press SOURCE on the projector or remote 
    control. A source selection bar displays. 
    2. Press / until your desired signal is selected 
    and press Mode/enter on the projector or 
    ENTER on the remote control.
    Once detected, the selected source information 
    will display at the corner of the screen for 
    seconds. If there is multiple equipment 
    connected to the projector, repeat steps 1-2 to 
    search for another signal.
    • 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 signal type effects the options available 
    for the Picture Mode. See Selecting a picture 
    mode on page 35 for details.
    • The native display resolution of this projector is in 
    a 4:3 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, 
    you should select and use an input source which 
    outputs at this resolution. Any other resolutions 
    will be scaled by the projector depending upon the 
    aspect ratio setting, which may cause some 
    image distortion or loss of picture clarity. See 
    Selecting the aspect ratio on page 34 for details.
    Changing Color Space
    In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector’s DVI-
    D input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to 
    YUV.

    Selecting the aspect ratio
    The aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and 
    computers are in 4:3 ratio, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
    With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can 
    dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image 
    input source.
    To change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
    • Using the remote control
    1. Press ASPECT to show the current setting.
    2. Press ASPECT repeatedly to select an aspect ratio to suit the 
    format of the video signal and your display requirements.
    • Using the OSD menu
    1.
    Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the DISPLAY 
    menu is highlighted.
    2. Press  to highlight Aspect Ratio.
    3. Press  /  to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the 
    video signal and your display requirements.
    About the aspect ratio
    In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active 
    areas.
    1.4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
    with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like 
    computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD 
    movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
    2.16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
    with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are 
    already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them 
    without aspect alteration.
    16:9 aspect ratio is only sourced through the Component Video input when 
    being fed an appropriate 16:9 aspect signal. See Connecting a Component 
    Video source device on page 23 and Obtaining a preferred projected 
    image size on page 15 for details.
    3.Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projectors native 
    resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming 
    image which is either in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use 
    of the screen without altering the images aspect ratio.

    							Operation 35 4.
    Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to 
    fit within the display area. 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.
    OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
    Optimizing the image
    Using Wall Color
    In the situation where you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which 
    may not be white, the Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture’s color to 
    prevent possible color difference between the source and projected pictures.
    To use this function, go to the DISPLAY > Wall Color menu and press  /  to select a 
    color which is the closest to the color of the projection surface. There are several 
    precalibrated colors to choose from: Light Yellow, Pink, Light Green, Blue, and Blackboard

    Adjusting Color
    Highlight Color in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    Lower setting produces less saturated colors; setting to the minimum value makes the image 
    black and white. If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, which 
    makes the image unrealistic.
    Adjusting Tint
    Highlight Tint in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more

    Adjusting Sharpness
    Highlight Sharpness in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  /   on the 
    projector or remote control.
    The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the 
    picture becomes.
    Adjusting Brilliant Color
    Highlight Brilliant Color in the PICTURE menu and select by pressing  / on the 
    projector or remote control.
    This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to 
    enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a 
    greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and 
    natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer 
    images with that quality, select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.
    On is the default and recommended selection for this projector. When Off is selected, the 
    Color Temperature function is not available.
    Selecting a color temperature
    Highlight Color Temperature in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  /
     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 
    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.

    3D Color Management
    In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in 
    classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where 
    building external windows allow daylight into the room. 
    Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture 
    theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management 
    provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, 
    should you require it.
    Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing 
    conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of 
    suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the 
    p ro j e c to r,  h ow e ve r,  yo u r  p ro j e c to r  s u p p l i e r  s hould be able to provide you with suitable 
    guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.
    The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you 
    select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your 
    preference.
    If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used 
    to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image 
    from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make 
    adjustments.
    To adjust the settings:
    1. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
    2. Press Mode/enter on the projector or ENTER on the remote control and the 3D Color 
    Management page displays.
    3. Highlight Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from among Red, Yellow, 
    Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.
    4. Press  to highlight Hue and press  /  to select its range. Increase in the range will 
    include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.
    Please refer to the illustration to the right for 
    how the colors relate to each other.
    For example, if you select Red and set its 
    range at 0, only pure red in the projected 
    picture will be selected. Increasing its range 
    will include red close to yellow and red close 
    to magenta.
    5. Press   to highlight Saturation and adjust its 
    values to your preference by pressing  / . 
    Every adjustment made will reflect to the 
    image immediately.
    For example, if you select Red and set its 
    value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will 
    be affected.
    Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less 
    saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation 
    is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
