User 1 - 5Up to five user profiles can be stored for your selected image quality 
settings. Stored profiles are available in this setting as an image 
mode.
You can adjust the image quality by adjusting the following items in each image mode:
[Brightness], [Contrast], [Sharpness], [Gamma], [Color adjustment], [Advanced 
adjustment], and [Lamp mode]
• The saved settings consist of the brightness, contrast, sharpness, gamma, color 
adjustment, advanced adjustment, and lamp mode.
• Although only five user profiles are displayed, different profiles can be created to apply 
depending on whether a computer is connected (with Analog PC, Digital PC, HDMI 
(when [HDMI In] (P102) is [Computer]), or HDBaseT (when [HDBaseT image input] 
(P102) is [Computer])) or AV equipment is connected (with Component, HDMI (when 
[HDMI In] (P102) is [Auto]), or HDBaseT (when [HDBaseT image input] (P102) is 
[Auto])). As a result, it is possible to save up to 10 settings.
• The image mode name which was the basis for the settings change is also saved in the 
user memory. When a user memory is selected as the image mode, the image mode 
that was the base for that user memory is displayed in the menu as [Baseline image 
mode].
