31 Optimizing computer imagesAfter your computer is connected properly and the computer ’s image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen- eral information on using the menus, see page 32. Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu (page 33). Change the Aspect Ratio. Choose the option that best fits your input source (page 33). Adjust the Color Temperature in the Advanced menu (page 35). Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the Advanced menu (page 37). Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later (page 34).Optimizing video imagesAfter your video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 32. Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture menu (page 33). Select a Sharpness setting (page 35). Use the Color Control to adjust the color gain (page 36). Adjust the Color Temperature. Select a listed value (page 36). Turn on Overscan to remove noise on the edges of the video image (page 37). Change the Aspect ratio (page 33). Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9 (the projector ’s default). Choose the option that best fits your input source in the menus, or press the Resize button on the remote to cycle through the options. See page 28. Select a specific Color Space. See page 36. Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See page 37. Make sure your DVD player is set for a 16:9 television. See your DVD player ’s user ’s guide for instructions.

32 Using the menusTo open the menus, press the Menu button on the keypad or remote. (The menus automatically close after 60 seconds if no buttons are pressed.) The Main menu appears. Use the arrow buttons to move up and down to high- light the desired submenu, then press the Select button. To change a menu setting, highlight it, press Select, then use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the value, select an option using radio but- tons, or turn the feature on or off using check boxes. Press Select to confirm your changes. Use the arrows to navigate to another setting. When your adjustments are complete, navigate to Previous or Exit, then press Select to go to the previous menu; press the Menu button at any time to close the menus. Dots appears before the menu name. The number of dots indicate menu’s level, ranging from one (the Main menu) to four (the most nested menus). The menus are grouped by usage: The Picture menu provides image adjustments. The Settings menu provides set-up type adjustments that are not changed often. The About menu provides a read-only display of information about the projector and source. Certain menu items may not be visible or may be grayed depending upon a particular source being connected. For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and is not visible when a computer source is active. Differ- ences are also seen in analog versus digital video sources and interlaced ver- sus progressive sources. Menu options are grayed out only if the source if selected but no signal is present. For example, if the projector is set to a video source but the source, such as a DVD player, is turned off video menu options are grayed out. keypad navigation Main menu buttons dots PictureSettings menu menu About menu

37 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. Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image. Sync Threshold Adjust: (progressive signals only) If a hardware device, such as a DVD player, is not syncing properly with the projector, adjust this option to help it to sync when connected to the projector. The following four (4) options are for progressive and computer sources only. Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source. Tr a c k i n g: adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source. Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of a computer source. Video Standard
38 Settings menuAudio: allows adjustments to Volume of the internal speaker and allows a chime to play when starting the projector. Adjustments can also be made from the projector ’s keypad and the remote. Sources: determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up. When Autosource is selected, the Source Enable feature indicates which sources the projector attempts to lock onto. You can use the Source Enable feature to eliminate certain sources from this search, which will speed the search. The source options are Computer for a computer, progressive DVD, or HDTV source, Video 1 for S-video connections, Video 2 for component video connections and Video 3 for composite video sources. By default, the check boxes for all sources are checked. Uncheck a source box to eliminate it from the search. When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Sources. To display another source, you must manually select one by pressing the Computer or Video 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. Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or “Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.Tr a n s l u c e n t O S D: makes the menus translucent. This prevents the image from being completely covered by the menus while you are making image adjustments. Screen Saver Off: prevents the screensaver on your computer from being activated if the USB portion of the M1 is plugged into the computer. This function was previ- ously called NND. Screen Trigger: turns on the 12 volt DC output switch on the connector panel. 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.
