18 IMAGE This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, etc. ASPECT This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the rela- tive source is called. You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly pressing the key, or by pressing and a numerical key (1...8). The following aspects are available. NORMAL: projects the image occupying the full height of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands are displayed on the right and left of the picture. ANAMORPHIC: allows a 16:9 picture to be displayed correctly. LETTERBOX: serves to display 4:3 letterbox image (with source signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio. PANORAMIC: this aspect stretches the 4:3 image, slightly cropping the upper and lower parts. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen of the Display. PIXEL TO PIXEL: this aspect displays the image as it is input without adapting it to the screen. The image is projected in the centre of the screen and if its horizontal and/or vertical dimensions are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or horizontal black bands. USER 1, 2, 3: When none of the preset formulas are suitable, the User formulas are available, with the facility for continuous horizontal and vertical adjustment of picture size. SCREEN CONTROL For each aspect chosen, the SCREEN CONTROL command allows you to reframe the screen to a variety of aspect ratios and screen size, using an appropriate screen-masking inter- face connected to the 12 V output socket (please refer to the screen manufactures manual) COLOR TEMPERATURE Changes the colour balance of the image. Colours can be adjusted towards the red end of the spectrum (low colour temperature values - expressed in degrees Kelvin) or the blue end (high values). Colour temperature can be selected with three preset values: HIGH (corresponding to approx. 9000 degrees Kelvin), MEDIUM (approx. 8000 degrees Kelvin), LOW (approx. 6500 degrees Kelvin) and one PERSONAL setting controlled by the user with separate adjustments for RED, GREEN and BLUE. In the personale color adjustment for all three colors it is possible to set an Offset value and Gain. The Offset adjustments have an impact of the low IRE values, while the Gain adjustments impact of the higher IRE values. Generally, the HIGH value is more suitable for displaying graphic images, MEDIUM and LOW for video images. These adjustments are reserved for expert users since there is a risk of obtaining results that impair projected image quality. GAMMA CORRECTION Determines the system’s response to the grey scale, emphasising or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image. The GRAPHICS setting is more suitable for computer images, while the FILM and VIDEO settings are more suitable for video images. OVERSCAN Remove noise around image. Some sources can produce a picture with noise along edges, thanks to the overscan function it is possible to drop such imperfections outside the projected area. The overscan value can be included between 0 (no overscan) and 32 (maximum value). The image maintains in any case the aspect. POSITION Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizontally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the
19 most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedu- re from the AUTO button on the remote control or keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light coloured background on the screen in the current picture. FREQUENCY/PHASE These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for signals from PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making up the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image appears disturbed (loss of position within the equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of sharpness on the narrow vertical lines) it may help to promptthe system to repeat the input signal analysis and determination of the best parameters by calling the automatic adjustment procedure with the AUTO key on the remote control or on the keypad. If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter the frequency and phase values manually and approach the screen sufficiently to observe the effects of the adjustments. Y / C DELAY In the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessary to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the source or connection cable has changed.

21 In the initial phase of installation the configurable keys (F1, F2) serve as optical zoom and optical focus (Fig.32). POWER ON If active (AUTO) allows to power up the system directly from the power feeder, once the initializing phase is completed. If not active (STAND-BY) once the initializing phase is completed the system remains in a stand-by mode waiting to receive the power on command from the remote control or the key pad. TEST PATTERNS Displays a series of five test patterns, useful for the installation of the projector. Press and keys to browse pattern. FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the projector to original factory settings except Position, Orientation, Y/C Delay, Zoom and Focus. NoConfirm? Ye s MENU LANGUAGE Lists the languages available for the On Screen Display menus. SOURCE LIST In order for projector to be more flexible, the following described functions allow to modify the input selection menu making it more user friendly. The main window shows all the inputs available on the projector. If one or more inputs are not utilized, it is often helpful to blank them from the input list (accessed with the 0 key). Once the input has been chosen, in the drop menu that appears by pressing the key, it is possible to activate the source (Fig. 33) . The exclusion or activation of the source will automatically renumber the remaining active inputs. 2 S-VIDEO 4 GRAPHICS RGB 5 DIGITAL INPUT DIGITAL INPUT 1 VIDEO 123 COMP / RGB 345 S-VIDEO 3 COMP RGB 5 DIGITAL INPUT 5 VIDEO 1 S-VIDEO 4 Source list/Edit source name ACTIVE NAMEYe sNo Fig. 33 The inputs with an active video signal (visible in the input selection menu) are marked with a check symbol. It can be also helpful to identify the input with a name chosen by the user (for example with the name of the connected source) rather than with the signal type. Once chosen to have the input visible, in the drop menu, by selecting the Name option it is possible to rename the source in use. This will make it easier to remember the source connected to a specific input. You can use up to 12 alphanumeric letters to name the source (for more details check the “Insert text” section) Insert text You will be able to insert text easily and rapidly by accessing the text insertion menu (fig. 34) Fig.34
22 The text insertion mode remains the same if text is being inserted for the first time or if a previously inserted name is being edited. The letter insertion can be done in any available position (represented by horizontal lines). Use the and keys to move between letters either left or right respectively. Press the numeric key matching the letter (Fig. 34), the first click of the key selects the first letter, the second click the second letter and so on. The available letters are shown in the text insertion menu. Once one letter has been inserted, to insert the following one it is necessary to move with the cursor in the next right position with the key of the remote control, repeat this procedure to insert other letters. Use the key to switch from small case to capital letters and viceversa. Any mistake can be deleted with the key once it has been positioned on the wrong letter. Once the text insertion process is finished, it can be confirmed and saved by clicking the MENU+ key. If you want to delete the modifications use the MENU- key of the remote control. F1/F2 KEYS This allows to assign different functions to the remote control keys, named F1 and F2. The window is made of 6 options, once for each line and bytwo columns showing the F1-F2 keys. The choice between F1 and F2 is made by the and keys of the remote control; the function given to F1 and F2 is chosen with the and keys. The function delivered by the key is memorized by the intersection on the line and column. In the following window are described the 6 options Source list F1/F2 keys Source info OSD Backgroung OSD Position OSD Timeout Language Menu English Zoom Focus Magnification Blank Color temperature Gamma correction F1 F2 Fig.35 Zoom Allows to access the optic zoom, where the and keys allow to increase or decrease the size of the projected image. Focus Once selected, the and keys allow to focus the image. Magnification Allows you to select the area to be viewed and then magnify the projected image. The degree of enlargement is selected in Zoom mode (identified by a magnifying glass in the centre of the image) using the and keys. The area of the picture to be enlarged is selected in Pan mode (symbol in the centre of the picture) using the and , arrow keys. You can toggle between Zoom and Pan mode by pressing the F1/F2 key on the remote control. Blank Blanks the active video signal producing a completely black screen. Once pressed the key an indication of a few seconds on the OSD will confirm its activation. A click of any other key of the remote control allows to restore the previous settings. Color temperature The following click of the key (F1 or F2) allows to choose between the different color temperatures available. High, Mid, Low, User. Gamma correction The following click of the key (F1 or F2) allows to choose between the different gamma curves available. SOURCE INFORMATION When active (YES) each source change will show the information related to the signal. If not active (NO) there will be no information on the selected source. OSD BACKGROUND Determines the type of background for the On Screen Display. OSD TIMEOUT Use this adjustment to set the display time after which the On Screen Display will disappear. OSD POSITION Allows the On Screen Display to be positioned in a particular area of the projected image. The OSD can be positioned using the arrow keys for fine adjustments or keys 1...9 on the remote control to select one of 9 preset positions.
23 MEMORIES The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single com- mand. There are 3 distinct Memories (Memory 1, Memory 2, Memory 3) for each of the 8 signal types managed: 3 COMP/RGB(YCrCb 15KHz) 3 COMP/RGB(RGB 15KHz) 3 COMP/RGB(YCrCb) 3 COMP/RGB(RGB) 4 GRAPHICS RGB 5 DIGITAL INPUT1 VIDEO 2 S-VIDEO making a total of 24 different available Memories. The image parameters that can be saved/recalled by the Memo- ries management system are the following: Image Picture BRIGHTNESS ASPECT CONTRAST COLOR TEMP. GAIN (R/G/B) COLOR COLOR TEMP. GAIN OFFSET (R/G/B) TINT COLOR TEMP. SHARPNESS OVERSCAN FILTER GAMMA SHARPNESS MODE VIDEO TYPE NOISE REDUCTION Some of these parameters may not be available for certain in- puts or certain input signals, as indicated in Tables 1 and 2. The menu page for the Memories management functions is activated by pressing the key on the remote control or the key on the keypad (Fig.36). ZOOM CONTROL (R GRAPH 12 4 E Fig.36 The operations that can be performed on each memory se- lected are described here below. SAVE A MEMORY To save the current values of the image parameters in Memory 1, use the and keys to move to line ‘1’ and then open the pull-down menu by pressing the key (Fig.37). Then select the option ‘Save current settings’. To confirm that the operation has been completed successfully, the message ‘Current set- tings saved in Memory 1’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘S’ appears to the left of the memory name. The same procedure is used to save parameters in Memories 2 and 3. 0 Auto 3 S MEMORIA 1 Memories Save current settings Save initial settings Rename 2 I 1 S Fig.37 RECALL A MEMORY To recall a Memory, select the desired line and press . The parameters saved in the selected Memory will be applied to the image displayed and a message will appear to confirm the operation ‘Memory 1 recalled’. The Memory recalled will be associated with the source and signal type, and will be auto- matically recalled every time that particular source and signal type combination is selected. SAVE DEFAULT SETTINGS To restore the original values to a previously modified Memory, select the line corresponding to the Memory in question and open the pull-down menu ( key). Then select the line “Save default settings”. To confirm that the operation has been com- pleted successfully, the message ‘Initial settings saved in Memory 1’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘I’ appears to the left of the name of the memory. RENAME A MEMORY It is possible to assign a name to each Memory. To assign a name (with a maximum length of 12 alphanumeric characters) to a Memory, select the option ‘Rename’ from the correspond- ing pull-down menu. Enter the text following the procedure in- dicated in paragraph “SOURCE LIST”.
24 10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The projector does not require internal cleaning. There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector. Please refer all service requirements to qualified personnel. Cleaning the projector’s cover: Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals, as this will damage the finish of the cover. Avoid direct cleaning of the rear panel’s screen-printing. Cleaning the lens: The lens may be cleaned with a very soft, non-abrasive small brush, in order to remove dust particles. Alternatively, use a soft dry cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens cleaning) to remove fingerprints and grease marks. RESTORE CURRENT SETTINGS On entering the ‘Memories’ menu, a copy of the current set- tings is saved in a temporary menu (labelled with 0 - AUTO). Once one or more memories have been recalled, you can re- store the settings that were effective at the moment the Memo- ries menu was accessed by selecting 0 - AUTO. However, this operation must be completed before the ‘Memories’ menu page disappears (30 seconds after the last operation commanded from the remote control or the keypad). The next time it ap- pears, the temporary memory will contain new information that takes into account any Memories selected the penultimate time the ‘Memories’ page was accessed. Memory 0 ( - AUTO) can be used even when you do not wish to enable the Memories management function for the signal currently in use. Once Memory 0 has been selected, when a source is chosen, the settings that were effective at the time the Memory was previously recalled will be automatically applied. INFO Displays the current status of the projector and information concerning the projected video/graphic signal. This function is displayed on pressing on the remote control (or, in the absence of the On Screen Display, the key on the remote control). QUICK MENUS The Quick menus allows the adjustment of most of the picture quality controls without recalling the main On Screen menus. Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, Sharpness and Filter adjustments appear at the bottom of the screen, one after another, when Up and Down Arrow keys are pressed. MESSAGES The following messages could appear on your screen: No Signal The projector does not recognise any signal sent through the selected input. - Check that the selected input is actually connected to a video or graphic signal. - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical specifications of your projector. - Check the integrity of cables used to connect various sources. Out of range Either the resolution or the horizontal/vertical frequency of the input signal is too high. - Input a signal that is within specifications.
25 11 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE No power (Green and red LED are OFF) - Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I. - Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a working socket. - Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector. - Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type (T 3.15A H) (Fig. 2). - Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical assistance. The lamp is not coming on - Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down sufficiently. - If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance from your nearest Dealer. No image - Check that the selected input is actually connected to a active video or graphic signal. - Check that the above source actually works. - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical specifications of the projector. - Check the integrity of cables used to connect various sources. - Check temperature of the room: it must be below 35°C (95°F) - Check projector air vents on top and underneath the projector: they must be free of obstruction. - If the problem persists, consult your Dealer. Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical specifications of the projector. - Check the integrity of cables connecting projector to various sources.- If the signal source is a terrestrial broadcast (via a VCR) check that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and that the aerial system is in good working order. - Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first generation” copy and in good condition. - Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture perfor- mance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture menu. Incomplete image along borders (vertical and horizontal) - Compare compatibility of video/graphic signals and techni- cal specifications of your projector. - Press Auto (on your remote or keypad) to execute automatic adjustments. - Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of projected image by selecting Position on the Image Adjustments menu. - Adjust the width and height of image, selecting Aspect in the Image Adjustments menu. Image too dark, too pale or unnaturally coloured - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical specifications of your projector. - Go to Picture menu, select and regulate any of the following, accordingly: Contrast, Brightness, Color, and Tint. - If necessary, reset the Color Temperature and Gamma Correction (found on the Image Adjustments / Advanced Settings menu). Graphic image with poor quality vertical detail - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical specifications of your projector. - Press Auto (on your remote or keypad) to execute automatic adjustments. - Adjust Frequency and Phase parameters, found in the Image Adjustments menu, to optimise vertical detail of the projected image.
