When HDTV   images 
are projected, the 
images appear in 16:9 
size.
Input signals will be 
projected at the same 
width as the projectors 
panel resolution.
Black bands will 
appear at the left and 
right of the images.
Input signals will be 
projected at the same 
height as the projectors 
panel resolution.Input signals will be 
projected at the same height 
as the projectors panel 
resolution. At this time, the 
image enlargement ratio 
will be smaller near the 
middle of the images but 
become larger towards the 
left and right edges of the 
images.
This is useful for when 4:3 
images are projected onto a wide 
screen. Because there is almost no 
distortion due to enlargement in 
the middle of the images, the 
images appear close to what they 
would be at their original size. 
And because both ends of the 
images are enlarged, movement at 
the edges of the images appears 
faster and gives an impression of 
greater speed, making it ideal for 
viewing sporting events.
When a 4:3 image is 
projected, the top and 
bottom of the image 
are hidden from view. 
If this happens, the 
part of the image 
hidden from view at 
the top and bottom can 
be reduced in size in 
the vertical direction 
so that it can be 
viewed by Zoom 
Size in the 
Configuration menu.

Advanced Colour Adjustments
If you would like to create your own images with settings adjusted the way you want them, you can 
adjust Abs. Color Temp., Skin Tone a nd/or Advanced in the Image menu. 
The adjustment values can be stored in the memory  so that you can retrieve them and apply them to the 
projected images at any time. (  p.24)
Skin Tone, Abs.Color Temp. and Gamma are ad justed in a single operation using the respective 
remote control buttons.

Adjusting from the gamma 
correction values
From among the gamma correction values [2.0], 
[2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4], select one that suits the 
connected equipment, or one of your own liking, 
using             or       , and press       or       to confirm 
the selection.
Observe the gamma graph to check the result of the 
adjustment. 
Lower values will increase the contrast   of the dark 
portions but will tend to blur the bright portions. 
This is indicated by bulging in the upper portion in 
the gamma graph.
Higher values will darken the bright portions. This 
is indicated by bulging in the lower portion in the 
gamma graph.

Gamma adjustment
Differences between equipment may result in a 
slight variation in the colouring when images are 
projected, and you may want to adjust this. 
(Projection will stop temporarily during such 
adjustment.) There are two methods of doing so. 
One is to select one of the gamma correction values 
[2.0], [2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4]. The other is 
customized adjustment, which is done with 
reference to the projected image or a gamma graph. 
The gamma graphs horizontal axis represents the 
input signal level and its vertical axis the output 
signal level.

If Low-band Enhancement is set in the + 
direction, the areas emphasized by High-band 
Enhancement will be hardly emphasized. Instead, 
the rough areas of the entire subject, such as 
contour and background, will be emphasized, 
resulting in a sharp image. 
Setting Horiz. Line Enhancement / Vert. Line 
Enhancement to the + side will enhance the 
image sharpness in the horizontal / vertical 
direction. Setting them to the - side will give a soft 
image.
When Auto Iris is set to On, the amount of 
light will be automatically adjusted to the 
brightness of the image, creating a picture with 
depth and perspective.
* An operation sound of Auto Iris function may 
be emitted while projecting some images. This 
is not a failure of the projector.
