Adjusting White Balance [Brightness RGB/Contrast RGB]
This allows you to adjust the white balance. Brightness for each color (RGB) is used to adjust the black level of the 
screen; Contrast for each color (RGB) to adjust the white level of the screen.
Adjusting Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, Color level and Color balance
You can adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, color level and color balance. Brightness ............. Adjusts the brightness level or the black level of the image.
Contrast ................. Adjusts the intensity of the image according to the incoming signal (Wh\
ite level of the image).
Sharpness .............. Controls the detail of the image for Video.

Adjusting Clock and Phase [Clock / Tracking]
This	allows	you	to	manually	adjust	[Clock]	and	[Tracking].
Clock  ..................... Use this item to fine tune the computer image or to remove any ver tical banding that might appear. 
This function adjusts the clock frequencies that eliminate the horizontal banding in the image.
This adjustment may be necessary when you connect your computer for the first time.
Tracking ................ Use this item to adjust the clock phase or to reduce video noise, dot inter ference or cross talk. (This is 
evident when par t of your image appears to be shimmering.)
Use [Tracking] only after the [Clock] is complete.

Adjusting Horizontal/ Vertical Position [Horizontal position/ Vertical position]
Adjusts the image location horizontally and vertically.
-	 An	image	can	be	distorted	during	the	adjustment	of	[Clock]	and	[Tracking].	This	is	not	malfunction.
-	 The	adjustments	for	[Clock],	[Tracking],	[Horizontal	position],	and	[Vertical	position]	will	be	stored	in	memory	for the current signal. The next time you project the signal with the same resolution, horizontal and vertical 
frequency, its adjustments will be called up and applied.
	 To	delete	adjustments	stored	in	memory,	from	the	menu,	you	select	[Reset]	→	[Current	signal]	or	[All	data]	 and reset the adjustments.
Selecting Overscan Percentage [Overscan]
Select overscan percentage (0%, 5% and 10%) for signal.

5. Using On-Screen Menu
Selecting Aspect Ratio [Aspect]
The term “aspect ratio” refers to the ratio of width to height of a projected image.
The projector automatically determines the incoming signal and displays it in its appropriate aspect ratio.
•	This	table	shows	typical	resolutions	and	aspect	ratios	that	most	computers	support.
ResolutionAspect Ratio
VGA  640 x 480  4:3
SVGA  800 x 600  4:3
XGA  1024 x 768  4:3
W XGA  1280 x 768  15:9
W XGA  1280 x 800  16:10
W XGA+  1440 x 900  16:10
SXGA  1280 x 1024  5:4
SXGA+  1400 x 1050  4:3
UXGA  1600 x 1200  4:3
Options Function
Auto The projector will automatically determine the incoming signal and display it in its 
aspect ratio. (→ next page)
The projector may erroneously determine the aspect ratio depending on its signal. If 
this occurs, select the appropriate aspect ratio from the following.
4:3 The image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio.
16:9 The image is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio.
15:9 The image is displayed in 15:9 aspect ratio.
16:10 The image is displayed in 16:10 aspect ratio.
Wide zoom
( LV -7 3 8 5 / LV -7 3 8 0 / LV -
7285/LV-7280) The image is stretched left and right. 
Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the left and right edges and therefore not 
visible.
Letterbox
( LV - 8 310 / LV - 8 2 15 ) The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical direc-
tions to fit the screen. Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the top and bottom 
edges and therefore not visible.
True size The projector displays the current image in its true resolution when the incoming com-
puter signal has a lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution.
[Example 1] When the incoming 
signal with the resolution of 800 x 
600 is displayed on the LV-7385/LV-
7380/LV-7285/LV-7280:
[Example 2] When the incoming 
signal with the resolution of 800 x 
600 is displayed on the LV-8310/
LV- 8215:
N OTE:
•	 When	a	non-computer	signal	is	displayed,	the	[True	size]	is	not	available.
•	 When	a	signal	with	a	higher	resolution	than	the	projector’s	native	resolution	is	displayed,	[True	size]	is	not	available.

•	 The	term	“letterbox”	refers	to	a	more	landscape-oriented	image	when	compared	to	a	4:3	image,	which	is	the	standard	aspect	 ratio for a vide source.
	 The	letterbox	signal	has	aspect	ratios	with	the	vista	size	“1.85:1”	or	cinema	scope	size	“2.35:1”	for	movie	film.
•	 The	term	“squeeze”	refers	to	the	compressed	image	of	which	aspect	ratio	is	converted	from	16:9	to	4:3.
