adjustment may not be noticeable with some types of picture. 
However, pictures with lots of lines and shading will tend to show 
incorrect tracking adjustments more clearly, so be sure to check the 
tracking adjustment first.
 Flickering and fuzziness may also occur when the brightness, 
contrast
g, sharpness and keystone correction settings are adjusted.

Adjusting the Image QualitySelecting the Projection Quality (Colour Mode Selection)
The following six preset colour modes are available for use depending on 
the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily 
obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that 
corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will 
vary depending on which colour mode is selected.The default setting for the colour mode is as follows.
