Features of the ProjectorThe following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily 
obtain the optimum images simply by selecting the image quality.
In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in 
places such as schools, you can select the Blackboard setting to allow 
images to be projected in their natural tints.
sp.43, p.51, p.53
• Dynamic   Presentation  Theatre
 Living Room   sRGB
g BlackboardThe brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings. 
Fine and clear images can be obtained even in a bright room like a 
conference room and a classroom.
If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are 
too bright, change the setting to Low.
Merit of Low
 Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%
 Reduction in operating noise of approximately 17%
 Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life
sp.59
The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone

Features of the Projector
The accessory remote control can be used to carry out operations such as 
pausing projection (Freeze function sp.47), zooming in on important parts 
of images (E-Zoom function sp.48) and pointing out important parts of 
images using a pointer icon (Pointer function sp.49).
In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the 
computer screen during projection (see Wireless Mouse Function  
sp.20). Password protection function allows you to limit using and changing the 
settings of the projector. This means that the projector cannot be used if it is 
taken without authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature. 
sp.27Easy to Operate
Password protect function assists administration 
and theft prevention
