30 Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting.Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video sources. It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the input signal. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose either REC709 or REC601 for component video sources.Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed rela - tive warmth value. Color Control: allows you to individually adjust the gain (relative warmth of the color) and the offset (the amount of black in the color) of the red, green, and blue colors. Note that offset adjustments are only available for computer sources.Video Standard: when it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to automati - cally pick the video standard based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image may appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Stan - dard menu. Sharpness Color Space Color Temperature Color Control Video Standard
31 Settings menuAudio: allows adjustments to Volume of the internal speaker and allows a chime to play when starting the projector. Volume adjustments can also be made from the projector ’s keypad. Sources: Power-up Source determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up. When the Autosource feature is On, the projector automatically finds the active source, checking the selected Power-up Source first. The source options are Computer for a computer, progressive DVD, or HDTV source, and S-video and Composite for video sources. When this feature is Off, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. To display another source, you must manually select one by pressing the Source button on the remote or keypad. System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translu - cent screen. Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted pro - jection. Low Power: toggles between on and off. Turn it on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter. Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automati - cally starts up after the projector is powered on. This allows control of ceil - ing mounted projectors with a wall power switch. Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching”) in the lower-left corner of the screen. PC Screen Saver Off: prevents your computer from going into Screen Save mode. The projector must be connected to the PC via a USB cable for this feature to work. Pow e r S av e: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. After an additional 10 minutes with no signal, the projector powers down and can be toggled off. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. Screen Save automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no signals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Settings menu Audio Power-up Source Sources System menuScreen Save
