different parameters for different types of video signal.
1.COLOR TEMP: Adjusts the white color. 5 options are available for COLOR TEMPERATURE: HI BRIGHT, 
STANDARD, LOW, USER1 and USER 2.
■HI BRIGHT: High color temperature. Makes white bluish. It is best suited to PCs and other computers.
■STANDARD: Middle color temperature (6500°K). Maintains normal colorings for white. It is best suited 
for viewing TV.
■LOW: Low color temperature (5700°K). Makes white appear reddish. It is best suited for viewing movies.
■USER 1 and USER 2 : Two different color temperatures can be customized and stored. See below for 
details
2.SET USER COLOR TEMP: Adjust and stores users’ preferable color temperature.
■To store the settings:
i.) Open the PRO-PICTURE menu and select SET USER

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 SET USER COLOR TEMP menu allows you to alter the color temperature 
and the overall color balance of the image by adjusting the red, green and blue gains and biases.
To make the color temperature higher
Set the value of B GAIN (or B BIAS) greater, and the value of R GAIN (or R BIAS) smaller.
To make the color temperature lower
Set the value of R GAIN (or R BIAS) greater, and the value of B GAIN ( or B BIAS) smaller.

Pulling it too quickly may cause broken glass to scatter about 
if the bulb has broken.
Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on 
it, children can reach it, or near flammable materials.
Do not insert your hands into the box after the lamp is 
removed. If you touch the optical component inside, it could 
cause color unevenness and distortion of the projected 
images.
6. Insert a new lamp. Make sure the handle is fully locked.
7. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the three screws 
(b) securing the lamp box.
Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which could result 
in malfunction.
