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. Select “Always” to use the 
keys in this manner all of the time, even with single 
displays. For normal keypad function, select...

NOTES: 1) If you change modes over the life of a lamp, the lamp limit you originally 
expected may no longer be possible. 2) Turning the lamp on and off reduces lamp life 
significantly, as do other factors. 3) It is recommended that Lamp Limit not exceed the 
expected lamp life, otherwise a lamp could become dangerously fragile with overuse. 
Set which 
LAMP MODE you want to use in order to control 
the light output. You can choose to run the...

NOTE: The number shown for “intensity” is not the actual lumen output, but rather a 
correlated value only—1246 may represent 3500 lumens, for example. 
To use “
Intensity” mode, judge by eye (or use a meter) and set the level as desired for 
your application. Over time, the projector will automatically increase the power 
supplied to the lamp as needed to maintain the chosen intensity as closely as possible. 
This mode is known as “Brightness...

Using the Color Saturation Menu for Color Matching 
You may prefer to use the 
Color Saturation menu to 
match colors across 
multiple screens. In the 
three Color Adjustment 
submenus (Red, Green, 
Blue—see right), set all 
main values to 100 and 
the secondary values to 0. 
Then judge by eye and 
adjust the slide bars as 
needed. Note that 
adjustments here define 
new x/y coordinates in the 
Color Adjustments by X,Y 
menu.
