Customizing Projector Features
Use the settings in this section to adjust the image size and position, suppress on-screen text, 
and select basic setup options.
Image Sizing
Before adjusting any of these settings, make sure you have already selected an appropriate 
aspect ratio for the type of picture you’re viewing (see page 30). 
■Overscan
Note: This option may not be available depending on the video device connected to the 
projector.
For component and HDMI video formats, this setting lets you see the edges of the image 
that are not normally visible in the picture (see page 89). If you see interference when you 
set 
Overscan to Off, try adjusting the Position as described below. 
Note: The Auto setting is only available when the input source is HDMI1, HDMI2, or 
WirelessHD.
■Position
Note: This setting cannot be used with a signal input through the HDMI 1 or HMDI 2 port or 
the WirelessHD connection (PowerLite Home Cinema 3020e only).
Use the arrow buttons to fine-tune the position of the image on the screen.
■Aspect
This setting lets you change the aspect ratio of your image, and works the same as 
pressing the 
Aspect button on the remote control. See page 30 for more information.
Note: When displaying 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signals through the HDMI or Component video 
port, the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the source device and you cannot change it.
If you display a 4:3 image using the Zoom setting, the top and bottom will be cut off. You can 
use the Zoom Caption Pos. option and other settings to resize and reposition the image.
For details on how the projector resizes the picture when you choose an Aspect setting, see 
page 89.

button on the remote control. 
Note: When Direct Power On is enabled, power surges that occur after a power outage can 
cause the projector to turn on.
■Video Signal
Leave this setting on Auto so the projector can automatically interpret the format, such as 
NTSC or PAL (for standard TV formats). 
■Component

For component video, select 
Auto to let the projector automatically interpret the signal; 
or select 
YCbCr or YPbPr to manually select your video equipment’s signal.
■Illumination
Turn off this setting to deactivate the lights on the projector’s Ppower button and power 
light. Use this setting if you find the lights distracting in a darkened room.
■Sleep Mode
Turn off this setting if you don’t want the projector to enter sleep mode. (Sleep mode 
shuts the projector off automatically when there is no video signal.) 
Select 
5min., 10min., or 30min. as the length of time before shutoff; decreasing the time 
conserves power and extends the life of the lamp. 
30min. is the default setting.
To turn the projector back on, press the Ppower button on the projector or the 
On 
button on the remote control.

							60Using WirelessHD
Using WirelessHD
You can use the included WirelessHD Transmitter (PowerLite Home Cinema 3020e only) to 
wirelessly stream HD content from a video device to the projector. 
Placing the WirelessHD Transmitter
Place the WirelessHD Transmitter so that the unit’s lights face the front of the projector. 
Make sure the transmitter is within 32 feet (10 meters) of the projector and is located in the 
same room. 
Note: The wireless transmission range may vary depending on the placement and size of 
surrounding objects. Avoid placing the transmitter in an area with many large or metal objects and 
do not place the transmitter on a metal surface, as this may interfere with the signal. There must 
be a clear path between the projector and transmitter.
Use the images below to determine the best placement for the WirelessHD Transmitter (the 
shaded areas represent the WirelessHD transmission area):
16 feet (5 m)
32 feet (10 m)
