Picture Mode
Selects a preset picture mode to suit your operating environment and input 
signal picture type.
The preset picture modes are described as below:
• Bright: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is 
suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such 
as using the projector in well lit rooms.
• Living Room: With well-saturated color, fine-tuned sharpness and a 
higher brightness level, this is perfect for watching movies and video 
games in a living room. 
• sRGB: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life 
images regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing 
photos taken with an sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, 
and for viewing PC graphic and drawing applications such as 
AutoCAD.
• Movie: With well-balanced color saturation and contrast with a low 
brightness level, this is most suitable for enjoying movies in a totally 
dark environment (as you would find in a commercial cinema). 
• User 1/User 2: Recalls the customized settings. After User 1/User 2 is 
selected, some of the sub-menus under the DISPLAY menu can be 
adjusted, according to your selected input signal.
The following functions are only available when Picture Mode is set to User 1 or User 2.
Reference Mode
Selects a picture mode that best suits your need for the image quality and as a 
starting point, you can further fine-tune the image based on the selections 
listed below.
Brightness
Adjusts the brightness of the picture. When adjusting this control, the black 
areas of the picture appear just as black and details in the dark areas are 
visible.
The higher the value, the brighter 
the picture, while the lower the 
value, the darker the picture. 
Contrast
Adjusts the degree of difference between dark and light areas in the picture. 
After adjusting the Brightness value, adjust Contrast to set the peak white 
level. 
The higher the value, the greater 
the contrast.
Color
Adjusts the color saturation level - the amount of each color in a video picture. 
Lower settings produce less saturated colors; setting to the minimum value 
makes the image black and white. 
If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, which 
makes the image unrealistic.
This function is only available when a Video, S-Video or Component signal is 
selected.

Tint
Adjusts the red and green co
lor tones of the picture. 
The higher the value, the more reddis h the picture becomes. The lower the 
value, the more greenish the picture becomes.
This function is only available when a Video or S-Video signal is selected and 
the system format is NTSC.
Sharpness
Makes the picture look sharper or softer. 
The higher the value, the sharper 
the picture becomes. The lower 
the value, the softer the picture 
becomes.
Color 
Temperature
The options available for color temperature settings vary according to the 
connected input signal.
• High : Makes pictures appear bluish white.
•  Middle : Maintains normal colorings for white.
•  Low : Makes pictures appear reddish white.
3D Color 
Management
Provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors  to be adjusted. You can select any of 
them to adjust its color range and saturation.
1. Press  ENTER to display the  3D Color Management  window. 
2. Select  Select Color  and use  /  to select a color from  R (Red),  G 
(Green),  B (Blue),  C (Cyan),  M (Magenta), and  Y (Yellow).
3. Press   to select  Hue and use  /  to set its range. Increase in the range 
will include colors consisted of more pr oportions of its two adjacent colors. 
The illustration shows how the colors relate to 
each other. 
For example, if you select  R and set its range at 
0, only pure red is selected. Increasing its range 
will include both the red color close to yellow and 
red color close to magenta.
4. Press  to select  Saturation* and use  /  to adjust its values. Every 
adjustment made reflects to the image  immediately. For example, if you 
select  R and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be 
affected.
5. Press  to select  Brightness and use  /  to adjust its values. Every 
adjustment made reflects to the image immediately. For example, if you 
select  R and set its value at 0, only the brightness of pure red will be 
affected.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you have  made all of the desired adjustments.
7. When done, press  MENU to exit.
*About saturation
It is the amount of that color in a vi deo picture. Lower settings produce less 
saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If 
the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

• Black Level
Sets the picture grayscale to 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE. The grayscale video signal is 
measured in IRE units. In some areas which use NTSC TV standard, the 
grayscale is measured from 7.5 IRE (black) to 100 IRE (white); however, in 
other areas where PAL equipment or Japanese NTSC standards are used, the 
grayscale is measured from 0 IRE (black) to 100 IRE (white). We suggest you 
to check if the input source is with 0 IRE or with 7.5 IRE, and then make your 
selection accordingly.
• Noise Reduction
Reduces electrical image noise caused by different media players. The higher 
the value, the less the noise.

Best for a lit environment, meeting room or family room.
• 2.4/2.5: Best for viewing movies in a dark environment.
• 2.6/2.8: Best for viewing movies which are mostly composed of 
dark scenes.
• Film Mode
Enhances picture quality when projecting composite image from a film sourced 
DVD or Blu-ray Disc.
• BrilliantColor™
This function utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level 
enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant 
colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone 
images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector 
reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that 
quality, select On. Selecting Off disables BrilliantColor™, and Color 
Te m p e r a t u r e becomes unavailable for access at the same time.

High Altitude Mode
The mode is for operation in areas like high altitude or high temperature 
environments. Activate the function when your environment is between 
1500 m–3000 m above sea level and ambient temperature is between 
0°C–30°C.
Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a higher decibel 
operating noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to 
improve overall system cooling and performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the 
above, it may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to 
protect your projector from over-heating. In cases like this, you should 
switch to High Altitude Mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is 
not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or 
extreme conditions.
