 Select
 “NO RESIZING” to display the image in its native resolution, which may or 
may not match the projector’s resolution. For example, for a source with a native 
resolution of 800 x 600, “No Resizing” in an SXGA+ projector will use the central 
800 x 600 pixels and have a black border—the black border areas are unused areas. 
See below.

bottom.  
 
Size 
“Size” controls both the image width and height in tandem, maintaining the current 
aspect ratio (proportion) of the displayed signal data.  
Vertical Stretch 
“Vertical Stretch” adjusts the height of the image while keeping the width constant. 
Use “Vertical Stretch” to change...

H-Position 
This option moves the image right or left within the area of available pixels. 
NOTE: The value shown represents where the approximate center of the image lies in 
relation to the total number of pixels available horizontally. This varies widely 
according to the signal—watches the image while adjusting.

This option moves the image up or down within...

Brightness 
(
SHORT CUT: Press Br i g h t and adjust the slide bar.) 
“Brightness” increases or decreases the amount of black in the image (0-100). For best 
results, keep close to 50. Start with a high value and decrease so that dark areas do not 
become black (i.e., are “crushed”). Conversely, high brightness changes black to dark 
gray, causing washed-out images.

Noise Reduction 
“Noise Reduction” is similar to the “Filter” control, but operates in the post-sampling 
digital domain with a more subtle effect. Higher settings are most useful for clearing 
up noisy RGB images such as those from a PC. Adjust as desired, keeping in mind 
that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also soften the image. 
Color Space

VIDEO STANDARD: For all but the more unusual video 
standards available in the world, the projector automatically 
detects the incoming horizontal and vertical frequencies and 
sets the projector’s processing of this signal to the 
corresponding standard. The current video standard name 
appears in the Video Options submenu, and includes an “A” if 
it has been auto-detected....

TINT: This slide bar adjusts the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of 
video and HDTV signals connected to Input 3 or 4. For best results, adjust tint while 
displaying an external test pattern—otherwise, it is recommended that tint remain at 
its default setting.

signal, delaying the...

AUTO INPUT LEVEL – Temporarily enter a checkmark only if you are an experienced 
user and you have an unusual source that you feel needs further color temperature 
and/or input level adjustment. This compensates for incoming out-of-range drives 
(white) and black levels (black) that would cause “crushing” of light and dark colors 
in the image. After entering a checkmark,...

NOTES: 1) Input levels apply for the current source only, but for any color 
temperature used. 2) Assuming that color temperature has been set up based on the 
internal test patterns, you can then set up input levels for a given source so that it 
matches the color temperature of the internal test patterns.
