Configuration Menu Functions
Image menu
Five different settings can be selected for the Color Mode, to match the images being projected or the
projection environment.  p.18
(Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
Adjust this when the output level of the connected equipment is weak and you feel that images are dark. 
(Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
Adjusts the difference between bright and dark areas. 
When the contrast is increased, images with greater modulation are obtained.
(Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
This adjusts the color intensity for the images. 
(Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
This adjusts the image tint. 
This adjusts the image sharpness.
The adjustment results are applied to the entire image.
This can be used to adjust a specific region.   p.23
(Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
This adjusts the overall tints of the images.
 If you select a higher value, images appear bluish, and if you
select a lower value, images appear reddish. The absolute color temperature can be set to one of 12
settings within the range of 5000K to 10000K.
(Adjustment is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
This adjusts the skin tones of people who appear in the images. If you select a higher value, green tone is
increased, and if you select a lower value, red tone is increased.
(When Color Mode is set to x.v.Color, these adjustments are not possible except for Super-
resolution.) 
This adjusts gamma. You can select a value, or make adjustments while viewing an image or a graph.

This lets you adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness for each of the R/G/B/C/M/Y color components.
p.20
This lets you set the lamp brightness to one of two settings.
Set to ECO if the projection images are too bright when projecting in a dark room or projecting onto a
small screen. When used at the ECO setting, the power consumption and fan noise during projection is
reduced. 
(Setting is not possible when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
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. If set to Off, no light intensity control
is performed.  p.23
This returns all settings in the Image menu to their default settings.
Selects the aspect mode.  p.18
This can be set only when Aspect is set to Zoom.
This function enables the image to be reduced in size in the vertical direction so that the top and bottom
of images that are hidden from view can be viewed when Zoom is set. The larger the adjustment value
(reduction ratio) set here, the more the image is compressed and displayed squashed in the vertical
direction.
This can be set only when Aspect is set to Zoom.
This function moves the display position of the image in one direction, up or down, to display captions
when projecting images with captions.
(This can be adjusted only when analog RGB image signals are being input.)
This adjusts the images if vertical stripes appear in the images.
(This can be adjusted only when analog RGB image signals are being input.)
This adjusts the images if flickering, fuzziness or interference appear in the images.
 Flickering and fuzziness may also occur when the brightness, contrast
 and sharpness settings are
adjusted.
 Clearer adjustments can be obtained if you adjust the Tracking first and then adjust the Sync.

entire image is projected. Press  ,  ,   and   to adjust the position.
(This can be set only when signals are being input from the [Video] / [S-Video] input port, or 480i, 576i,
1080i signals are being input from the [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] / [Component] input port.)
Interlace
 (i) signals are converted to progressive (p) signals using a method appropriate for the image.
 Off :This is ideal for using when viewing images with a large amount of movement.
 Video :This is ideal for general video images.
 Film/Auto :Optimum conversion is performed for movie, computer graphics, and animation input
signals.
(This can be set only when signals are being input from the [Video] / [S-Video] input port, or 480i, 576i,
1080i signals are being input from the [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] / [Component] input port.)
Select whether the progressive conversion operation mode is for fast-moving images or for slow-moving
images. The smaller the value, the more suitable the mode is for viewing still images. The larger the
value, the more suitable the mode is for viewing video images.
(This setting can be made only when a 1080p/24Hz signal is being input to the [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] /
[Component] input terminals.) 
For a 1080p/24Hz input signal, you can select between 2-2 pull-down projection or 2-3 pull-down
projection.  Selecting On sets the 2-2 pull-down.
This sets automatic adjustment to on or off in order to set whether the projector automatically adjusts
images to their optimum condition when the input signal is changed. The three automatically adjusted
items are Tracking, Position and Sync.
This reduces flickering of images.
Three modes are available. Select the mode to suit your liking.
Set Off when the image source, such as DVD, contains little electrical interference.
(This can be set when NTSC
 signals or component video signals are being input from the [Video]/[S-
Video] input port.)
If using products designed for destinations such as South Korea that have different black level (setup
level) settings, use this function to obtain correct images. Check the specifications of the connected
equipment when changing this setting.
(This can only be adjusted when the color mode is set to Natural or Cinema and signals are being
input via the [HDMI1]/[HDMI2] input ports.)
If bright white areas of images appear uneven and overexposed, set to On.
When set to On, the HDMI Video Range setting will be ignored.

 Auto: Displayed when the signals from [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] input port are being input. This is
automatically set to Off or 8%, depending on the input signal. (Not displayed when the
equipments DVI port is connected to the projectors [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] input port.)
(Setting is possible only when EPSON Super White is Off. Setting is not possible, however, when
Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.)
When the [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] input port of the projector is connected to a DVD player, for example,
setting this to Auto allows the projector to automatically determine and set the video range of the input
signal.
If this is set to Auto and a blackout/whiteout condition occurs, set the video range of the projector to
match that of the DVD player. The setting on the DVD player can be either Normal or Expand.
Note that if the equipments DVI port is connected to the projectors [HDMI1] / [HDMI2] input port,
Auto is not displayed.
All the adjustment values on the Signal menu, except Aspect
, are returned to their default values.
When the main power switch is turned on, you can set for projection to start (On) / not start (Off) without
pressing  or .
When set to On with the main power switch left on, be aware that sudden surges of electricity that may
occur when the power comes back on after a power outage may cause the projector to turn on.
The projector is equipped with a power-saving function that causes the power to turn off automatically
and the projector to switch to standby if no signal is input to the projector for a continuous length of time.
The length of time before the power-saving function operates can be selected from four available settings.
If Off is selected, the power-saving function will not operate.
If you press   while the projector is in standby mode, projection will start again.
This locks the power on function of the   button on the projectors control panel, so that a child
cannot accidentally turn the projectors power on and look into the projectors lens. When the lock is
applied, the power will only turn on if   is pressed down for about 3 seconds.   can be used to
turn off the power, and the remote control will continue to operate as normal.
If you change the setting, the new setting will take effect after the power has been turned off and the cool-
down period is complete.
Even if Child Lock is set to On, be aware that projection starts merely by turning the main power
switch on when Direct Power On is set to On.
