Functions for Enhancing ProjectionSelecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Color 
Mode)
You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the 
setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The 
brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected. * The Epson Cinema Filter deploys automatically when Theatre or sRGB is selected.

The Color Mode name is displayed on the screen by pressing the button. 
If you press the button while the Color Mode name is displayed on the 
screen, it changes to the next Color Mode.
The color mode can also be set using Color Mode in the Image menu 
from the configuration menu.

Freezing the Image (Freeze)
When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to 
project like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as 
changing between files during presentations from a computer without 
projecting any images if the freeze function is activated beforehand.
Procedure
Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.
The image source continues to play back the moving images even while 
Freeze is on, and so it is not possible to resume projection from the point 
where it was paused.
If the Freeze button is pressed while the configuration menu or a Help 
screen is displayed, the menu or Help screen being displayed is cleared.
Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.
Changing the Aspect Ratio
Change the Aspect Ratio when video equipment is connected so that 
images that have been recorded in digital video or onto DVDs can be 
viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format. Change the Aspect Ratio when 
projecting computer images at full size.
The changing methods and the types of Aspect ratio are as follows.
Changing methods
Procedure

Changing the Aspect for computer images
You can change the aspect of projected images input from the Computer, DVI-D, or HDMI input port as follows. The default aspect ratio is 16:10 because 
of the wide panel mounted on the projector. When projecting onto 16:9 screens, set the Aspect to 16:9.
If parts of the image are missing or the image is not projected properly, set Wide or Normal in Resolution from the configuration menu depending on the 
size of the computer screen.
