Color Wheel Calibration — SUBMENU 
The Color Wheel Calibration submenu allows you to set the timing of the two color 
wheels in the projector. It is important the color wheels are correctly calibrated for the 
colors and shades in the displayed image 
to appear the same. Incorrectly calibrated, 
the colors will appear in various 
unmatched shades throughout the image. 
Typically,  this adjustment is only 
required when a...

Level Value 
Level Value defines the value to be used by the Level Detector in recognizing blacks 
and whites. See Level Detector, above. 
The single “Option Card” entry in the Configuration menu identifies which optional 
input module (a.k.a. cards) is present at 
INPUT 5 (Option 1). If the option slot is 
empty, the corresponding read-only menu entry does nothing. If there is a module 
installed, the corresponding menu entry...

“Anamorphic” for NTSC signals having narrower pixels--this will stretch the pixels 
horizontally to regain the intended aspect ratio of the PIP image. NOTE: If the image 
is already resized at the source it will remain that way in the PIP window. If, for 
example, an NTSC signal is already set to anamorphic through the Resize and Preset 
menu it will remain that way in the PIP window. If the NTSC signal is formatted as...

Numbers Select Main Image 
Use Numbers Select Main Image to use the 
numeric keys #1-8 as input keys. This remapping 
of the keypad (see right) can be particularly useful 
with PIP displays, providing a convenient shortcut 
for changing the primary (background) image 
without first having to return to the Main menu. 
To use the keys in this manner all of the time, 
even with single displays, select Always. For 
normal keypad...

• In Single Lamp mode, the projector will try to strike the lamp again in 90 
seconds (considered re-strike #1).  Only after the third attempt (re-strike #2) 
will the projector declare the lamp as “Failed to Strike” (in Lamp submenu) 
and automatically switch to the single lamp operation mode for the lamp that 
was not ignited. All lamp specific menu options will then change to reflect the 
true lamp operation mode of the...

NOTES: 1) The projector will automatically shutdown if it detects both lamps 
have “failed” (this includes lamps not installed). 2) The lamp operation mode 
will not automatically switch to a previous mode once a “failed” lamp is 
replaced. It must manually be selected. 3) It takes approximately 25 seconds 
for a cold lamp to reach full brightness when it is first turned on. 4) Power is 
cut to a lamp only when the lamp...

Color Adjustment Procedure 
Once the Color Primary Settings are calibrated for the site (see above), use the Color 
Adjustments by X,Y or Color Saturation menu to further refine each projector’s 
fundamental colors so that the hue and intensity of each color appears the same from 
one display to another. Once matched, you will have created a single new shared 
range of colors or “color gamut” that all of your projectors can...
