■Gamma
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 31 for 
more information.
■Color Gamut
Note: The Color Gamut setting can only be used when the Color Mode is set to THX (see 
page 28).
You can select from three different color gamut settings according to the source material 
and locale. Select 
SMPTE-C for standard definition (USA, Canada, and other regions 
using NTSC), 
EBU (PAL) for Europe, or HDTV (all regions).

other 3D settings.

displaying correctly. Changing these settings unnecessarily may cause problems with 3D 
projection.

■3D Format
Use this setting to select the 3D format supported by your video device. In most cases, the 
projector will correctly detect the 3D format when this option is set to 
Auto. You should

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 Depth
Adjusts the depth of the 3D images. Select the 
Medium or Strong settings to increase 
the appearance of the 3D effect.

Medium or High settings if the 3D 
display is too dark.
Note: This setting is not available when 3D Format is set to Auto.

Reverses the timing for the left and right shutters on the 3D active shutter glasses. Only 
enable this function if 3D images are not displaying correctly.

Select 
External if you’ve connected an external 3D IR emitter (see “Optional 
Accessories” on page 9 for ordering information).
■3D Viewing Notice

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).
Note: This setting is only available with a signal input through the PC 
port.
■Sync.
Adjust the synchronization to eliminate blurriness. For best results, 
make sure the tracking is properly adjusted first.
Note: This setting is only available with a signal input through the PC 
port.
