Advanced Color Adjustments
The projector allows you to select the optimum colour settings for the images being projected by selecting the 
appropriate colour mode. 
Furthermore, if you would like to create your own images with settings adjusted the way you want them, you 
can adjust Color Temp.
, Flesh Tone and/or RGB in the Color Adjustment sub-menu of the Image 
menu. 
The adjustment values can be stored using the Memory: Standard menu command so that you can retrieve 
them and apply them to the projected images at any time.  p.12
If you use the Cinema Color Editor CD-ROM that is included with the projector, you can make the above 
adjustments easily from a computer using a mouse. In addition, fine adjustments to the hue and saturation can 
also be carried out. These adjustments can be stored in the projectors memory, and they can also be saved in 
a computer file which can be exchanged with other people so that they can also see the results of the 
adjustments that you have made.  p.24

You can adjust the overall tint of images.
If you select High, images appear bluish, and if you select Low, images appear reddish.
Select one of three levels: High (9300K), Medium (6500K) or Low (5500K).
Adjusting flesh tones
This can be used to adjust the flesh tones for images of people.
The Epson Cinema Filter effect that is automatically applied to images when a Color Mode setting 
is made creates natural-looking flesh tones. If you would like to further enhance flesh tones, use this 
Flesh Tone setting to make the adjustment.
If set to the + side, the colours become greenish, and if set to the – side, the colours become reddish.
Gain adjustment Gamma adjustment The image brightness can be adjusted by adjusting the individual R (red), G (green) and B (blue) 
components of the dark areas (offset  ), bright areas (gain  ) and intermediate areas (gamma  ) 
respectively. Because such detailed adjustments are possible, images with greater depth can be 
obtained.
If you would like bright areas to appear 
more clearly, change the setting to the – 
side. If you change it to the + side, bright 
areas will become whiter, but the contrast 
will become poorer.If the setting is changed to the – side, 
smoother images can be obtained. If the 
setting is changed to the + side, sharper 
images can be obtained.

Viewing images at a preset image quality (memory function)
Basic Image Quality Adjustments
The Cinema Color Editor program can also be used to store and retrieve memory settings from a 
computer. A computer can be used to make detailed adjustments and these adjustments can be stored 
using the Memory: Advance menu command.
s 
The following describes how to save settings using the Memory: Standard command.
Adjust the desired settings that you would like to save in memory.
Select Memory: Standard from the Image menu and then press      .
Select a memory name from MEMORY1 to MEMORY6 to use for saving and then press     .
The status of a memory area is indicated by the colour of the    symbol to the left of the memory name 
as follows.
Green : Memory area is in use         Grey : Memory area is not in use        Orange : Selected
If you select a memory area that is already in use and press      , the existing contents will be erased 
and the current settings will be saved in their place.
To erase all memory contents, select Memory Reset from the Reset menu.       p.22
You can press            and select the desired memory name from the selection menu. If settings 
have been saved using both the Memory: Advance and the Memory: Standard commands, a 
screen for selecting the Memory: Standard or Memory: Advance screen will be first 
displayed. Select the memory area where the settings that you would like to retrieve is stored.
The Cinema Color Editor program can also be used to store and retrieve memory 
settings from a computer. Two types of memory area (Standard and Advance) 
are available, and each can store up to 6 sets of settings. 
If you have used Cinema Color Editor to adjust the hue and saturation, save these 
settings using Memory: Advance.       p.28
The adjustment results for all of the configuration menu items shown at left and the aspect setting can be 
saved. The Memory: Standard command in the Image menu is used to save the settings.
Memory settings that have been applied to images will be retained even when the 
projectors power is turned off. The same memory adjustment settings will be applied 
to images that are projected the next time the projectors power is turned on.
The aspect setting retrieved from memory may not be applied to the images if they 
are 16:9 images or if the input signal images have a particular resolution.
If Memory: Advance adjustment settings have been retrieved, you can return the 
settings to the way they were before the Memory: Advance adjustment settings 
were retrieved. To do this, select Last Memory from the selection menu.
