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
For component, WirelessHD, 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 HDMI1 or HDMI2 port or the 
WirelessHD connection (PowerLite Home Cinema 5020UBe 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 WirelessHD, HDMI or 
Component video port, the aspect ratio is automatically selected and you cannot change it. For 
information on configuring an anamorphic display, see page 28.
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.

only if the Aspect setting has been set to 
Zoom). Adjust Overscan before changing the 
zoom position.

Turn this setting off if you want to prevent on-screen messages from appearing (such as 
the no-signal message, or the identifying text that appears when you switch between 
image sources or color modes). 
■Startup Screen

■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
Change this setting to match the type of equipment connected to the Component port. 
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.
■Child Lock
Lets you lock the Ppower button on the projector’s control panel to make it more 
difficult for a child to turn on the projector. See page 37 for more information.

being accidentally changed once it is adjusted. See page 37 for more information.

■High Altitude Mode
Adjusts the speed of the fan so it can properly cool the projector at higher altitudes. Turn 
this setting on if you are using the projector at an altitude of 4921 feet (1500 meters) or 
higher.
Note: The maximum operating altitude is 7500 feet (2286 meters).
■Trigger Out
Turn on this setting to have the Trigger out port output a 12-volt signal (max. 200 mA) 
to lower your projection screen when the projector is running. 
Note: If you change this setting, the new setting will take effect the next time you turn the 
projector on.
Adjusting the LCD Alignment
You can use the LCD Alignment feature to manually adjust the color convergence of the 
projected image. 
Note: Allow your projector to warm up for at least 10 to 15 minutes and make sure the image is in 
focus before you begin the LCD alignment process. 
For best results, the projected image should be a minimum of 60” (152 cm) diagonally and the 
projection surface should not be colored or textured, otherwise the adjustment grids will be 
difficult to align.

							60Using WirelessHD
Using WirelessHD
You can use the included WirelessHD Transmitter (PowerLite Home Cinema 5020UBe 
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).
