APPENDIX
Component (P25, 62, 90)
A signal system used to send a color signal
(C) with it divided into a B-Y color difference
signal and an R-Y color difference signal.
This system can project a better-quality
image as compared with the composite sig-
nal system. Connect the component video
terminal on the AV equipment and the Input
Terminal-2 on this projector with a component
cable. Select [COMPONENT] at projection.
Composite (P25, 64)
A video signal system used to send a bright-
ness signal (Y) and a color signal (C)
together. Connect the composite output
(RCA) terminal on the AV equipment and the
VIDEO IN terminal on this projector with a
video cable. Select [VIDEO] at projection.
Digital PC (P25, 35)
A signal system used to send digital informa-
tion of individual display dots. This system is
free from deterioration of image quality
because of no analog conversion. Connect
the DVI output terminal on the computer and
Input Terminal-1 on this projector with a DVI
connection cable. Select [DIGITAL PC] at
projection.
DVI (P35, 46, 63, 68)
A digital video signal connection interface for
a computer and AV equipment. This interface
allows digital data to be transmitted without
converting to analog data, assuring high
image quality with no signal degradation. The
DVI-I (integrated) connector can be used to
transmit both an analog video signal and dig-
ital video signal.
Gain (P103)
A parameter that adjusts the reproduction
range of a brightness signal from black to
white within the image signal to naturally
reproduce it on the screen. The reproducibil-
ity of the bright tone is mainly changed. Since
you can adjust the gain for each RGB color in
this projector, you can also adjust colors. The
gain is normally adjusted with the offset.
Gamma Correction (P102, 104)
A tone adjustment system used during pro-
jection of image data. The gamma correction
function works effectively when portions of an
image are obscure because they are too light
or dark.
This projector supports manual gamma cor-
rection and dynamic gamma correction
which performs the gamma correction auto-
matically.
HDCP (P63, 68)
An abbreviation of High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection which is an encryption
technology for copy protection of digital
image signals. In this projector, you can
project digital contents copy-protected with
the HDCP technology. To project the con-
tents, connect the Input Terminal-1 on the
projector and an HDMI terminal or DVI termi-
nal on an AV equipment with a dedicated
cable, and then select [DIGITAL VIDEO] from
the [INPUT] menu.
HDMI (P63, 68)
A digital video signal connection interface for
an AV equipment. Its terminal is more com-
pact than the DVI terminal. It allows to trans-
mit video and audio signals simultaneously.

APPENDIX
Memorized Color Correction (P104)
A memorized color is a color in our memory.
The memorized color such as blue for the sky
is more vivid than the real color, so you may
feel colors of a projected image are dull. If
such is the case, enable the memorized color
correction function to make the colors close
to the ones in our memory. You can enable
the memorized color correction function in
the image adjustment menu.
Offset (P103)
A parameter that shifts the reproduction
range of a brightness signal from black to
white within an image signal toward the
higher or lower level of brightness. The repro-
ducibility of the dark tone is mainly changed.
Since you can adjust the offset for each RGB
color in this projector, you can also adjust
colors. The offset is normally adjusted with
the gain.
Progressive (P94)
An image display system used to display the
entire screen per scan. For an interlace sig-
nal (video signal) that displays one screen by
two scans (one for odd lines and one for
even lines) is input, progressive processing
is required. When the progressive function is
turned off, one screen is displayed using
image signals per interlace signal, deteriorat-
ing the vertical resolution of the image. When
the progressive function is turned on, one
screen is displayed using image signals per
two interlace signals, improving the vertical
resolution of the image. Turn off the progres-
sive function when flickering and horizontal
lines are noticeable on a fast-moving picture.
Resolution (P42, 89)
The number of dots (horizontal dots x vertical
dots) that can be displayed on a computer is
called “resolution of display”. Resolution indi-
cates the size of the display area (amount of
information).
If you select SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050 dots)
as the display resolution for the connecting
computer, this projector can project high-res-
olution images. If your computer does not
have the SXGA+ option, select the maximum
resolution among the selectable options.
sRGB (P53, 100)
An international standard of color representa-
tion (color space) which is applied to general
digital cameras, displays and others. In this
projector, if you select [sRGB] in the [Image
mode] setting, the projector can project the
best-quality image conforming to the sRGB
Standard.

APPENDIX
S-video (P25, 64, 90)
A signal system (YC separation signal) used
to send a brightness signal (Y) and color sig-
nal (C) separately. Connect the S-video ter-
minal on the AV equipment and the S-VIDEO
IN terminal on this projector with an S-video
cable. Select [S-VIDEO] at projection.
Tracking (P91)
To reproduce an image from an analog
image signal, the process to accumulate
image information at the appropriate timing
with reference to the synchronization signal
within the image signal. This process is
called the tracking. This projector can dis-
play an image properly by automatically
adjust the tracking with the auto PC adjust-
ment function even if there is a small differ-
ence in the synchronization signal from an
analog imaging device.
Video (P25, 64, 90)
An output terminal widely used in an AV
equipment. It is also called as a composite
output terminal (pin terminal or RCA termi-
nal). For more details, refer to Composite.

* 99.99% or more of the LCD panel pixels are effective. During projection, 0.01% or less of pixels may stay lit or unlit due to the charac-
teristics of the LCD panel.
* Using the projector continuously for an extended period of time may accelerate the deterioration of optical parts.
