Balance
The Balance setting controls the balance between the left and 
right speakers. The 
Balance setting applies to all sources you have

coming from the internal speaker; press the right mouse button 
to increase the amount of sound coming from the external  
speakers.
Audio Source Select
This setting allows you to match a computer or video input to an  
audio input. The projector has four computer and three video  
inputs, but only four audio inputs. 
NOTE:  Audio cables must be con-
nected in order to hear sound from  
the projector.

Image Menu 
FIGURE 25
Image menu
NOTE: Some screen savers
interfere with the operation of
Auto Image. If you’re experiencing
problems, try turning your screen
saver off, then turning Auto Image
off and back on.Overscan
This option crops all the edges of the image to remove noise gen-
erated on the edges by your source. This option is available for 
video sources only.
Image Position
This setting allows you to re-position a 16x9 or native mode 
video image. Select among top, bottom, and center by highlight-
ing Image Position in the menus and clicking either mouse but-
ton to cycle through the options.
Auto Image
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchroniza-
tion and vertical and horizontal position for most computers 
(Auto Image does not apply to video sources). If you want to 
adjust these features manually, you must turn off 
Auto Image first 
by highlighting Auto Image in the Image menu and clicking the 
left or right mouse button to select “off”.
NOTE: When you connect an
HDTV source, the projector
automatically displays the image in
16x9 format.ResizeThis option works differently for computer and video sources. 
For computer sources, 
Resize automatically resizes the image by 
scaling it up or down. It only affects computer images that are not 
the projector ’s native resolution. When 
Resize is on, the projector 
makes the best fit of the image to the computer screen. If you turn 
Resize off (by highlighting it in the Image menu and clicking the 
left or right mouse button to select “off”), the image may be either 
cropped or too small for the screen.

For video sources, Resize allows you to select from among four 
different re-sizing options. The default is 
Standard, which resizes 
the image from its original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect 
ratio screen. 
Widescreen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio 
of the original theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 
space, so black bars appear at the top and bottom of the image. 
Enhanced Widescreen also preserves the aspect ratio of the origi-
nal theater version and is designed to be used with content that is 
Enhanced for Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail 
than Widescreen Letterbox. 
Native reduces the Standard size to 
match the height of Enhanced Widescreen.
Manual Sync
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for 
most computers. But if the projected computer image looks fuzzy 
or streaked, try turning 
Auto Image off then back on again. If the 
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization 
manually:
NOTE: The Manual Sync, 
Manual Tracking, Horiz. Posi-
tion and Ve r t .  P o s i t i o n options 
are available only for computer 
sources. The projector sets these 
options automatically for video 
sources.

2Highlight Manual sync, then press the left or right mouse but-
ton repeatedly until the image is sharp and free of streaks.
Manual Tracking
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video 
signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly 
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide 
or too narrow for the screen, try turning 
Auto Image off then back 
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-
ually:

button repeatedly until the fuzzy vertical bars are gone.

jector.
Zoom
NOTE: The Zoom feature is only
available when a computer source
is active. It is not available for
video sources.
This option allows you to digitally zoom a computer image. 
Highlight Zoom, then press either mouse button. A rectangle 
appears on the screen. Use the arrow buttons on the keypad or 
the disk mouse on the remote to move the rectangle to the area 
you want to zoom, then click the right mouse button (not the left 
mouse button). The image is zoomed. To zoom further, press the 
right mouse button, move the rectangle to the desired area, then 
press the right mouse button again. You can zoom three times. To 
return the image to normal view, press the left mouse button. The 
zoom rectangle appears. To cancel zoom, press the left mouse 
again or activate the menu.

Video Standard
NOTE: If you already know the 
video standard used in your geo-
graphical area, it’s often best to 
manually select it.
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to 
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-
N,PAL-60, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it 
receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on 
your region of the world.) The input signal for SECAM video is 
similar to other video signals and cannot be automatically 
detected, therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. If the pro-
jector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might 
not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens, 
manually select a standard by clicking the left or right mouse but-
ton and cycling through the standards.
Standby Time
This option lets you select how long the lamp stays on and the 
blank screen is displayed when the projector enters standby 
mode before the projector turns off. Select among instant, 1, 5, 10, 
15 and 30 minutes and 1 and 2 hours by clicking the left or right 
mouse button and cycling through the options.

Using the ProjectorCeiling Projection
When you turn Ceiling Projection on, the projector turns the 
image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection. Highlight  
Ceiling Projection, then click the left or right mouse button to  
turn this feature on and off.
Rear Projection
When you turn Rear Projection on, the projector reverses the 
image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. High- 
light Rear Projection, then click the left or right mouse button to  
turn this feature on and off.
Default Source
Default Source toggles among Computer RGBHV, Computer  
VESA, Computer M1 Analog, Computer M1 Digital, Computer  
Cab le           a n d C om pon en t  V ide o, C om posit e  Vid eo,  and  
S-video. This determines which source the projector checks first  
for active video during power-up. Highlight Default Source and  
click the left or right mouse button to toggle among the options.
Auto Source Select
This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is Off,  
the projector defaults to the source selected in Default Source. To  
display another source, you must manually select one by press- 
ing the 
source button on the keypad or the computer or video but-
ton on the remote. When this feature is On, the projector  
automatically finds the active source, checking the default source  
first. Highlight Auto Source Select and click the left or right 
mouse button to turn this feature on and off.
Plug and Play
This setting toggles between On and Off. When it is On, most 
new computers will automatically recognize the projector, then 
set the monitor resolution and refresh rate accordingly. You need  
to set the Plug and Play setting to Off for the projector to display  
properly on some older computers. The Plug and Play setting 
does not affect video images.  
If the projector ’s display constantly changes between the com- 
puter image and the message, “Perfecting the image”, you may 
need to turn Plug and Play Off.

page 11 for details. This feature is available for PC Computer 
RGBHV and VESA sources only. It is not supported on the Macin-
tosh platform.

computer ’s screen saver will not be activated. A type B USB 
mouse cable must be connected to use this feature. See page 11 
for details. This feature is available for PC Computer RGBHV and 
VESA sources only. It is not supported on the Macintosh plat-

Active” appear in the lower-right corner of the screen. Click the 
left or right mouse button to turn this feature off and not see sta-
tus messages.
Display Startup Screen

the startup screen appears when the projector starts up and 
remains until an active source is detected. The startup screen con-
tains contact information. Click the left or right mouse button to 
turn this feature off and display a plain black or blue screen 
instead of the startup screen.
