Color Settings
If the image colors don’t look correct, you can adjust them using these settings. Use the first

■RGB
Note: This setting cannot be used when the Color Mode is set to Auto (see page 32).

gain for each signal color (red, green, and blue). Use 
Offset to adjust darker shades and 
Gain for the lightest shades. 
■RGBCMY
Note: This setting cannot be used when the Color Mode is set to Auto (see page 32).
Use the RGBCMY settings to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of the six color 
components (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow). After adjusting each color, press 
Esc to move to another menu option. You can also access this setting by pressing the 
RGBCMY button on the remote control. See page 35 for more information.

You can select from five gamma settings (2.0 to 2.4) or customize your own setting from 
your image or a displayed graph. Lower values will increase the contrast of dark areas, but 
tend to blur the bright areas. Higher values will darken the light areas. See page 33 for 
more information.

Auto. You should 
only select the 
2D, Side by Side, or Top and Bottom formats when your projector 
doesn’t properly display 3D images. See your video source documentation for 
information on which mode to select.

■3D Viewing Notice
Enables or disables the viewing notice that is displayed when 3D mode is activated.
Adjustments for Computer Images
In addition to the settings described previously, 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. It is easiest to 
adjust the tracking 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.
