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 projector, however, your projector 
supplier should 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 to favorite colors. 
When you select each color, you can independently adjust its color range and saturation according to 
your preference.
To adjust and store the settings:
1. In the Picture -- Advanced menu, highlight Color Management 
and press ENTER. The Color Management page displays.
2. Highlight Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from 
among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.
3. 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 is selected. Increasing its range will include both the red 
color close to yellow and red color close to magenta.
4. Press  to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by 
pressing  / . The contrast level of the primary color you select 
will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image 
immediately. 
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.
6. To leave and save the settings, press MENU once or EXIT twice.

Setting Film Mode
This feature helps improve picture quality when projecting video image 
from a film-sourced DVD or Blu-ray Disc.
Setting 3D Comb Filter
This feature separates composite signal to Y (brightness) signal and C 
(color) signal, and can help produce clearer and sharper images with 
correct colors in place.
This function is only available when a Video signal is selected.
Selecting the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Digital TV is usually in 16:9 ratio, 
which is the default for this projector, and most analog TV signals and DVDs are in 4:3 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. Images can 
be stretched in a linear manner so the whole of the image is stretched equally, or non-linearly, which 
distorts the image.
To change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect 
the source is):
•  Using the remote control
Press one of the aspect ratio keys to suit the format of the video signal 
and your display requirements.
•  Using the OSD menu
1. Press MENU 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
1.Anamorphic (ANA): Scales an image so that it is displayed in the 
center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This setting stretches and 
resizes linearly, except that it treats the vertical and horizontal 
dimensions independently. It stretches the height of the source image 
until it reaches the full projected height, and stretches the width of the 
source image until it reaches the full projected width. This may alter 
the projected aspect, depending upon the original aspect of the source 
image. Anamorphic is most suitable for images which are already in a 
16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them without aspect 
alteration.
2.4:3: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen 
with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 pictures like 
computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD 
movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

3.Letter Box (LB): Scales a picture to fit the projector’s native 
resolution in its horizontal width and resize the picture’s height to the 
3/4 of the projection width. This may produce a picture greater in 
height than can be displayed, so part of the picture is lost (not 
displayed) along the top and bottom edges of the projection. This is 
suitable for the display of movies which are presented in letter box 
format (with black bars on the top and bottom).
4.Wide: Stretches the picture horizontally in a non-linear manner, that 
is, the edges of the picture are stretched more than the center of the 
picture to prevent distortion of the central part of the picture. This is 
suitable for occasions where you want to stretch the width of a 4:3 
aspect picture to the width of a 16:9 aspect screen. It does not alter the 
height. Some widescreen movies have been produced with their width 
squashed down to the width of a 4:3 aspect, and are best viewed when 
restretched back to their original width using this setting.
5.Real: This setting displays the image in a one-to-one pixel mapping 
without alteration or resize in the center of the projection. This is most 
suitable for use with PC source inputs.
•  The black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active 
areas.
•  OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
Using Panamorph lenses (optional)
Panamorph lenses allow you to convert 16:9 projectors to the full 2.35:1 aspect ratio of most motion 
pictures, showing the best movies without letterbox bars at top and bottom of images while increasing 
resolution by 33% and brightness by 20%.
You may need a 2.35:1 screen to display the 2.35:1 images. For more information, please go to 
www.panamorph.com or contact the place you purchased the projector.

Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend that you activate High Altitude Mode when your environment is higher than 1500 
meters (around 4920 feet) above sea level, or whenever the projector will be used for extended periods 
of time (>10 hours) without shutdown.
To activate High Altitude Mode:
1. Press MENU and then press  /  until the Advanced Setup 
menu is highlighted.
2. Press   to highlight High Altitude Mode.
3. Press /  to select On. A confirmation message displays.
4. Highlight Ye s and press ENTER.
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.
We recommend you use the High Altitude 
Mode by selecting it whenever your 
environment is higher than 1500m.
