This lets you set the lamp brightness to one of two settings.
Select Low if the images being projected are too bright such as when projecting images in a dark room
or onto a small screen. Use of Low prolongs the lif e of the lamp, and reduces the amount of power and
noise produced by fan rotation during projection. 
The amount of light is adjusted appropriately depending on images (On)/ or not adjusted (Off).  p.23
This returns all settings in the Ima ge menu to their default settings.
Selects the aspect mode.  p.18
This can be set only when A spect is set to Zoom.
This function enables the image to be  reduced in size in the vertical direction so that the top and bottom
of images that are hidden from view can be viewed wh en Zoom is set. The larger the adjustment value
(reduction ratio) set here, the more  the image is compressed and displayed squashed in the vertical
direction.
This can be set only when A spect is set to Zoom.
This function moves the display pos ition of the image in one direction, up or down, to display captions
when projecting imag es with captions.
This adjusts the images if verti cal stripes appear in the images.
This adjusts the images if flickering, fuzz iness or interference appear in the images.
 Flickering and fuzziness may also occur when the brightness, contrast
 and sharpness settings are
adjusted.
 Clearer adjustments can be obtained if you adjust  the Tracking first and then adjust the Sync.
(Setting is not possible when signals ar e being input from the [HDMI] input port.)
When part of the image is clipped,  move the image display position vertic ally and horizontally so that the
entire image is projected. Press  ,  ,   and   to adjust the position.
This sets automatic adjustment to  on or off in order to set whether the projector automatically adjusts

 Video :This is ideal for general video images.
 Film/Auto :By pulling down 3-2
/2-2, images (e.g. video films/CG  or animations) recorded in 24/30
frames are automatically converted to the optim um progressive signals so that images are
reproduced looking natural  as originally intended.

Select whether the progressive conversion operation mo de is for fast-moving images or for slow-moving
images. The smaller the va lue, the more suitable the mode is fo r viewing still images. The larger the
value, the more suitable the mode  is for viewing video images.
This reduces flickering of images.
