Optimizing video imagesAfter the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen, 
you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general informa-
tion on using the menus, see page 23.
 Change the Aspect ratio. 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. 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 24.
 Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture 
menu. See page 24.

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, then press Select to go to 
the previous menu; press the Menu button at any time to close the menus. 
Dots appear before the menu name. The number of dots indicate the menu’s 
level, ranging from one (the Main menu) to five (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 be hidden until a particular source is connected. 
For example, Tint is only available for NTSC video sources and will be hid-
den when other sources are active. Other menu items may be grayed out 
when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed out until an 
image is active.

Picture menuTo adjust the following five settings, highlight the setting, press Select, use 
the up and down arrows to adjust the values, then press select to confirm 
the changes. All menu defaults are listed in a table starting on page 38.
Key s t o n e: adjusts the image vertically and horizontally to make a squarer 
image. The two keystones ranges are interdependent. The combined num-
ber of steps for both is 50. If one keystone is set to 65, it is 15 steps above the 
center position of 50. This leaves 35 steps that the other keystone can vary 
from the center of 50. This means it cannot go below 15 or above 85.
Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest 
parts of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the 
image.
Brightness: changes the intensity of the image. You can also adjust bright-
ness from the keypad.
Color: (video sources only) adjusts a video image from black and white to 
fully saturated color.
Tint: (NTSC video sources only) adjusts the red-green color balance in the 
image.
Aspect Ratio: 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. You can choose Native, 4:3, 16:9, Letterbox, or Natural Wide. 
The default is 16:9. The goal is to show the most detail on the screen while 
preserving the ratio of width to height. The native resolution of the projec-
tor is 1280x720. Use Native, 4:3 or Natural Wide for 4:3 input sources; use 
Native, 16:9 or Letterbox for 16:9 input. Pressing the Resize button on the 
remote cycles through these options.
Native: this mode bypasses the internal scaler, displaying the image with no 
resizing. Since the native resolution is 1280x720 and 4x3 video images are 
approximately 640x480, 4x3 images will always be smaller than the display 
and will be centered in the display. Computer images 1024x768 or smaller 
will also be centered in the display. If a 16x9 video source or a 1280x1024 or 
larger computer source is viewed, it will display up to 1280 pixels and 720 
lines from the center of the input.

16:9: the default is 16:9, which preserves the 16:9 aspect ratio and is 
designed to be used with content that is Enhanced for Widescreen TVs. 
4:3: resizes the image from its original version to fit a standard 4:3 
aspect ratio screen. If you have a 4:3 source on a 16:9 screen, the image 
is placed in a 16:9 space, so black bars appear at the sides of the image.
Letterbox: preserves the 16:9 aspect ratio. If you have a 16:9 source and 
screen, the image fills the screen. If your source is letterboxed, the 
image is expanded to fill the screen.
Natural Wide: this mode stretches a 4:3 image to fill the entire 16:9 
screen. The center two-thirds of the image is unchanged; the edges of 
the image are stretched. The mode is only available when TrueLife is 
active (see page 27).

Presets: This allows you to customize settings and save the settings to be 
restored later. To restore the factory default settings, choose Factory Reset in 
the Settings>Service menu. 
To set a preset for the current source, adjust the image, select Save Settings 
in the Presets menu, then choose Save User 1, 2, or 3. You can recall these 
settings in the future by selecting the appropriate user presets. 
Gamma: Gamma tables contain preset intensity configurations optimized 
for the input source. You can select a gamma table that has been specifically 
tuned for either film, CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), video, Bright Room, or PC 
input. (Film input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a 
movie; video input is material originally captured on a video camera, like a 
TV show or sporting event.) White Peaking increases the brightness of 
whites that are near 100%.
NOTE: Your viewing preferences may vary. Cycle through the gamma 
options and pick the one you like the best.
Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image.

							27 Advanced settings
The following 4 options are for computer or HDTV sources only. 
Phase: adjusts the phase of the video signal’s digital conversion.
Tr a c k i n g: adjusts the frequency of the video signal’s digital conversion. 
Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of the source.
Sync Threshold Adjust: If a hardware device, such as a DVD player, is not 
syncing properly with the projector, select this option to help it to sync 
when connected to the projector. 
Tr u e L i f e: This option refers to Faroudja’s TrueLife processing of the image. 
All standard definition interlaced video signals (composite, S-video and 
component) are routed through this processor. Extended and High Defini-
tion progressive component sources are not routed though this processor by 
default. You can turn TrueLife on to route these signals through the proces-
sor and then adjust the following 3 options:
Chroma Detail: This adjusts the color sharpness.
Luma Detail: This adjusts the overall sharpness (edge enhancement) of 
the Luma signal. 
Chroma Delay: aligns the Luma and Chroma signals.
CCS: (Cross Color Suppression) processes the signal to remove any color 
information from the luma portion of the signal. It is On for all composite 
signals, Off for all component signals, and can be turned on or off for all S-
video signals.
Film Mode: controls deinterlacing. If 2:2/3:2 Enable is selected, the deinter-
lacer attempts to perform a 3:2 pulldown, assuming the source was origi-
nally created on 24fps film. If the original source is 30fps film, you should 
select NTSC 2:2 pulldown.
Noise Reduction: adjusts signal noise reduction. Choose Off to have no 
noise reduction, choose Auto to have the software determine the amount of 
noise reduction, or choose Manual and adjust the Level. Skintone Bypass 
prevents the noise reduction from being performed on skin tones, thus pre-
venting them from appearing overly softened.

Color Space: This option applies to computer and HDTV sources (it won’t 
appear in the menu for video sources). It allows you to select a color space 
that has been specifically tuned for the video input. 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 
REC709 for component 1080i or 720p sources, or choose REC601 for compo-
nent 480p or 576p sources.
Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed 
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. 
Video Standard: When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the 
video standard automatically 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.

Settings menuSources
: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key on 
the remote and enables or disables Autosource. When Autosource is not 
checked, the projector defaults to the last-used source. If no source is found, 
a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, the projector checks 
the last-used source first at power up. If no signal is present, the projector 
checks the sources in order until a source is found or until power down. 
You can use the Source Enable feature to eliminate certain sources from this 
search, which will speed the search. By default, the check boxes for all 
sources are checked. Uncheck a source’s box to eliminate it from the search.
System
All options in this menu toggle between on and off.
Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent 
screen.
Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.
NOTE: It is recommended that all final image adjustments in Ceiling 
mode are made once the unit has fully warmed up (approximately 20 
minutes).
Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically 
goes into the startup state after the projector receives power. This 
allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch.
Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching”) in 
the lower-left corner of the screen.
High Power: Turn this on to increase the light output of the lamp. This 
also shortens lamp life and increases fan noise.
