Making Adjustments
You can use the projector’s on-screen menus to adjust the image quality, such as the 
brightness, contrast, sharpness, and color. You can also change how the menus display, select 
sleep mode settings, and control other projector features. 
Using the Menu System
You can access the menu system either from the remote control or the projector’s control 
panel to adjust any of the settings described in this chapter. You can also change the menu 
language and control how the menus display (see page 26). 
1. Press the 
Menu button on the projector or remote control. 
You see a screen similar to this one (the actual screen 
depends on the equipment you’ve connected):
Note: If no equipment is connected to the projector, some options may not be available.
2. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the desired menu, then press  to select it.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select a menu option.

Adjusting the Image Quality
Before fine-tuning the image using these adjustments, make sure you have already selected the 
best Color Mode for your picture and viewing environment, as described on page 20. The 
Color Mode adjusts various settings to approximately correct levels, simplifying your 
adjustment of the picture. 
Most image quality settings are saved independently for each input source (Video, S-Video, 
Input A, Input B). After you finish adjusting the settings for one input source, be sure to 
switch to each additional input source you’ll be using and make any necessary adjustments.
Brightness and Contrast Settings
The Brightness setting controls how much light is produced by the projector lamp. The
other settings listed below control how the projector interprets the light and dark areas of
the picture.
Adjust the Brightness first, then fine-tune the image with the other settings, as described.
■Brightness
Adjust the brightness so it’s suitable for your viewing conditions. For example, if you’re 
projecting in a brightly lit room or onto an especially large screen, you may need to 
increase the brightness. Decrease the brightness for dark rooms or small screens; this also 
reduces power consumption and fan noise, and helps to prolong the life of the lamp. 
■Setup Level
For compatibility with most video equipment sold in the United States, set this option 
to 7.5%. This adjusts the threshold at which dark areas of the image are rendered black. 
Check your video equipment’s specifications to be sure of the correct setting.
■Input Level/Contrast
Adjust the Input Level to set the overall brightness of the image. Then adjust the contrast, 
as needed.

■White Level/Black Level
Adjust the White Level so that details in the brightest parts of the image are not washed 
out. Then adjust the Black Level so that shadow-level details are still visible in the darkest 
parts of the image.
Sharpness and Picture Quality Settings
If the image looks fuzzy, or it contains noise or flickering, you can use these settings to 
correct it.
■Sharpness
Use this function to make lines and edges appear more distinct in the image.
■Progressive
Leave this setting off when viewing images containing a lot of movement, such as videos 
and DVDs. If you notice horizontal lines or flickering when viewing still images (such as 
computer graphics or digital camera photos) or when pausing videos, turn the setting on.
■Noise Reduction
Leave this setting off unless you’re viewing images from a weak signal with a lot of noise. 
Turning the setting on suppresses interference and makes images appear softer (available 
only if the image source is set to Video or S-Video).

							29 Color Settings
If the image colors don’t look correct, you can adjust them using these settings. Use the first 
three settings described below to make the most visible changes. If you only need to make 
slight adjustments, you can fine-tune the picture with the last two settings.
Note: You can also make color adjustments by attaching a PC or laptop to the projector and using 
the Cinema Color Editor software. See page 37.
■Color Intensity
Use this setting to adjust the color saturation of the image. (This setting is not available 
for computer images.)
■Tint
Use this setting to shift the color balance between magenta and green. (This setting is not 
available for computer images.)
■Color Temp.
Use this setting to shift the color balance between red and blue.
Note: You can also access the Color Temp. setting by pressing the  button on the remote 
control to open an on-screen “line menu.” 
■Flesh Tone
Use this setting to make fine adjustments to the magenta or green tint in the image, also 
useful for correcting black-and-white image tints.
Note: You can also access the Flesh Tone setting by pressing the  button on the remote 
control to open an on-screen “line menu.” 
■RGB
Use the RGB settings to fine-tune the color of the image. You can adjust the offset, 
gamma, and gain for each signal color (red, green, and blue). Use 
Offset to adjust darker 
shades, 
Gamma for intermediate shades, and Gain for the lightest shades.

							30Adjustments for Computer Images
In addition to the settings described above, you can adjust the Tracking and Sync settings for 
analog RGB computer images. Normally, these settings are adjusted automatically by the 
projector. If you notice that the image is blurry or contains dark vertical bands, you may need 
to adjust the settings yourself.
■Auto Setup
Leave this setting on so that the projector automatically adjusts the tracking, sync, and 
position of the image.
■Tracking
Adjust the tracking to eliminate vertical bands. This is easiest to 
adjust when the image contains a lot of fine detail (such as black 
text on a white background).
■Sync.
Adjust the synchronization to eliminate blurriness. For best results, 
make sure the tracking is properly adjusted first.
