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.
Troublesome colour adjustments can thus be avoided. p.44 , p.52 , p.55
