of the image source are reproduced more exactly.
  : You can select from either of the signals 
being input to the HDMI1 and HDMI2 
terminals. If this is used when viewing 
images which have been recorded in the 
x.v.Color standard, a true natural color 
representation will be obtained.

When HDTV   images 
are projected, the 
images appear in 16:9 
size.
Input signals will be 
projected at the same 
width as the projectors 
panel resolution. Black bands will 
appear at the left and 
right of the images.Input signals will be 
projected at the same 
height as the projectors 
panel resolution.Input signals will be 
projected at the same height 
as the projectors panel 
resolution. At this time, the 
image enlargement ratio 
will be smaller near the 
middle of the images but 
become larger towards the 
left and right edges of the 
images.
This is useful for when 4:3 
images are projected onto a 
wide screen. Because there is 
almost no distortion due to 
enlargement in the middle of 
the images, the images 
appear close to what they 
would be at their original 
size. And because both ends 
of the images are enlarged, 
movement at the edges of the 
images appears faster and 
gives an impression of 
greater speed, making it 
ideal for viewing sporting 
events. When a 4:3 image is 
projected, the top and 
bottom of the image 
are hidden from view. 
If this happens, the 
part of the image 
hidden from view at 
the top and bottom can 
be reduced in size in 
the vertical direction 
so that it can be 
viewed by Zoom 
Size in the 
Configuration menu.

Advanced Color Adjustments
You can select Sharpness or Advanced  in the Image menu to adjust the images according to your 
own preferences. The adjustment screens for Gamma and RGBCMY can be displayed on the screen 
directly by pressing the corresponding buttons on the remote control.
The adjustment values can be stored in the memory so that you can retrieve them and apply them to the 
projected images at any time. (

Hue, saturation, and 
brightness adjustment
Gamma adjustment
Adjusting from the gamma 
correction values
Use                   or        (UP or DOWN) to select the 
correction value that suits the connected equipment 
and your own preferences from 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 
2.3 or 2.4 , and then press       or       to confirm 
the selection.
Observe the gamma graph to check the result of the 
adjustment. 
When a smaller value is selected, the dark areas of 
images become brighter, but the lighter areas may 
become oversaturated. This is indicated by bulging 
in the upper portion in the gamma graph.
When a larger value is selected, the bright areas of 
images become darker. This is indicated by bulging 
in the lower portion in the gamma graph.
Hue, saturation, and 
brightness adjustment
Gamma adjustment
Differences between equipment may result in a 
slight variation in the coloring when images are 
projected, and you may want to adjust this. 
(Projection will stop temporarily during such 
adjustment.) There are two methods of doing so. 
One is to select one of the gamma correction values 
[2.0], [2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4]. The other is 
customized adjustment, which is done with 
reference to the projected image or a gamma graph. 
The gamma graphs horizontal axis represents the 
input signal level and its vertical axis the output 
signal level.
Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is 
set to x.v. Color.
The hue, saturation, and brightness for each of the 
R (red), G (green), B (blue), C (cyan), M (magenta) 
and Y (yellow) color components can be adjusted.

direction, the areas emphasized by Thin Line 
Enhancement will be hardly emphasized. Instead, 
the rough areas of the entire subject, such as 
contour and background, will be emphasized, 
resulting in a sharp image. 
Setting Horiz. Line Enhancement / Vert. Line 
Enhancement to the + side will enhance the 
image sharpness in the horizontal / vertical 
direction. Setting them to the - side will give a soft 
image.
This cannot be adjusted during input of computer 
image signals. 
When Auto Iris is on, the light intensity from 
the lamp is automatically controlled according to 
the brightness of images, and you can get higher 
contrast and rich images. Tracking speed of the 
light intensity control in response to changes in 
brightness of images can be set to either Normal 
or High Speed depending on your preference.
Setting is not possible when Color Mode is set 
to x.v. Color.
* An operation sound of Auto Iris function may 
be emitted while projecting some images. This 
is not a failure of the projector.By pressing                 on the remote control, you 
can directly display the sharpness setting 
(Standard/Advanced) screen just as selected 
using Sharpness of the Image menu.
