displays lasting for three seconds, and the Input Password page 
follows. You can retry by entering another six-digit password, or if you 
did not record the password in this manual, and you absolutely do not 
remember it, you can use the password recall procedure. See Entering

Adjusting the projected image
Adjusting the projection angle 
There are four adjuster feet on the bottom of the projector. These can be 
used if necessary to change the projection angle. Screw the feet in or out 
as appropriate to aim and level the projection angle.
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the 
projected image becomes vertical trapezoidal. To correct this problem, see Correcting picture distortion 
on page 25 for details.
Correcting picture distortion
Keystoning occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen and is where the projected 
picture displays visible as a trapezoid shape like either of the following:
•  Two parallel sides (left and right, or top and bottom) but is noticeably wider on either side.
• No parallel sides.
To correct the picture’s shape, you can perform the following steps.
1. Adjust the projection angle. Move the projector to be in front of the center of the screen with the 
center of the lens level with the screen.
2. If the picture is stilled distorted, or the projector is unable to be positioned as described above, you 
will need to manually correct the picture.
•  Using the remote control or projector
i. Press one of the Arrow/Keystone keys on the remote control or 
projector (Up  / , Down / ) to display the Keystone page.
ii. See step iii below for further operation.
•  Using the OSD menu
i. Press MENU and then press  /  until the Display menu is 
highlighted.
ii. Press  to highlight Keystone and press ENTER. The 
keystone correction page displays.
iii. Press the key whose keystone icon is opposite to the shape of 
the projected picture. Continue pressing the same key or press 
the other keys until you are satisfied with the shape.
The values on the lower portion of the page change while 
pressing. When the values reach their maximum or minimum 
with repeated key presses, the picture’s shape will stop changing. 
You will not be able to change the picture further in that 
direction. Aspect Ratio

Using the preset and user modes
Selecting a preset mode
The projector is preset with several pre-defined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your 
operating environment and input source picture type.
To select a picture mode that suits your need:
•  Using the remote control
1. Press PRESET MODE repeatedly or USER 1, USER 2/ISF 
NIGHT, USER 3/ISF DAY, DEFAULT on the remote control, or 
PRESET MODE on the projector repeatedly until your desired 
mode is selected.
•  Using the OSD menu
1. Press MENU and then press  /  until the Picture -- Basic menu 
is highlighted.
2. Press   to highlight Preset Mode.
3. Press  /  until your desired mode is selected.
These modes consist of preset values suitable for various projection 
situations as described below:
• Cinema: With well-balanced color saturation and contrast with a 
low brightness level, this is most suitable for enjoying movies in a totally dark environment (as you 
would find in a commercial cinema). 
• Dynamic: 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.
• Standard: It is slightly brighter than Cinema mode, and suitable for use in rooms where there is a 
small amount of ambient light.
• User 1/User 2/User 3: Recalls the customized settings. See Setting the User 1/User 2/User 3 
mode on page 27 for details.
Fine-tuning the selected picture mode
The pre-defined picture mode settings can be altered via the available items shown in the Picture -- 
Basic and Picture -- Advanced menus.
To fine-tune the picture mode:
1. Press MENU and then press  /  until the Picture -- Basic or Picture -- Advanced menu is 
highlighted.
2. Press   to highlight the item you want to adjust and press  /  to set your desired value. Your 
selection is automatically stored in the projector and associated with that input source.
See Fine-tuning the picture quality on page 28 and Advanced picture quality controls on page 29 
for details.
Each time you change the picture mode, the projector also changes the setting to the one which was last 
set for that particular picture mode on that particular input. If you change the input source, the most 
recently used picture mode and settings for that input and resolution will be restored.

Fine-tuning the picture quality
No matter what picture mode you have selected, you are able to fine-tune those settings to fit every 
presentation purpose. Those adjustments will be saved to the preset mode you are at when you exit the 
OSD menu.
Adjusting Brightness
Highlight Brightness in the Picture -- Basic menu and 
adjust the values by pressing  /  on the projector or 
remote control.
The higher the value, the brighter the picture. And the 
lower the setting, the darker the picture. Adjust this 
control so the black areas of the picture appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.
Adjusting Contrast
Highlight Contrast in the Picture -- Basic menu and 
adjust the values by pressing  /   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. 
Adjusting Color
Highlight Color in the Picture -- Basic 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 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 greenish the 
picture becomes.
This function is not available when the Preset Mode is ISF Night or ISF Day.
Adjusting Sharpness
Highlight Sharpness 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 Flesh Tone
This function adjusts accurate color primaries resulting in natural looking flesh tones with excellent color 
saturation.
Highlight Flesh Tone in the Picture -- Basic menu and adjust the values by pressing  /   on the 
projector or remote control.

100 IRE (white); however, in other areas where PAL equipment or 
Japanese NTSC standards are used, the grayscale is measured from 0 IRE 
(black) to 100 IRE (white). We suggest that you check the input source 
to see if it is with 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE, then select accordingly.

							30 Connecting with video equipment   *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.

Best for viewing movies in a darkened environment.
• Gamma 2.6/2.8
Best for viewing movies which are mostly composed of dark scenes.
Adjusting Brilliant Color
This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level 
enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more 
vibrant colors in picture. When set to Off, Brilliant Color is disabled.
