Using the On-Screen Menus
The projector has seven drop-down menus that allow you to make 
image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these 
adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad.
Note: Some menu items may be grayed out at certain times. This 
indicates that the item is not applicable to your setup (for 
example, video standards do not apply to computer 
sources) or the item is not enabled until another selection is 
made (for example, Manual Tracking is not available until 
Auto Image is turned off).
To open the on-screen menus, press the  button on the 
keypad or remote. This changes the volume, source, and standby 
buttons on the keypad to menu navigation buttons (and 
illuminates the keypad green). Press the corresponding buttons to 
move the cursor up, down, left, or right, or use the disk mouse on 
the remote. To select a menu, move the cursor left and right to 
highlight the menu you want. The drop-down menu appears.
Figure 15  Drop-down menu
To change a menu setting, use the up and down arrow keys on the 
keypad or the disk mouse on the remote to move the cursor up 
and down to the item you want to change (the selected item is 
highlighted red), then use the left and right mouse buttons (not 
the left and right arrow buttons) to adjust a setting. Some 
submenus, such as Brightness, consist of a slider bar you use to 
increase or decrease a value. Some submenus, such as Standby 
Time, consist of options you scroll through to select the desired 
one. All changes are saved when you close the menus. To access 
another menu, use the left and right arrow buttons or the disk 
mouse to move left or right to another menu.

Auto Image
Note: Some screen savers interfere with the operation of Auto 
Image. If you’re experiencing problems, try turning your 
screen saver off, then turning Auto Image off and back on.
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal 
synchronization and vertical and horizontal position for most 
computers (Auto Image does not apply to video sources). If you 
want to adjust these features manually, you must turn off 
Auto 
Image
 first by highlighting Auto Image in the Image menu and 
clicking either mouse button to select “off”.
Auto Resize
Auto Resize automatically resizes the image by scaling it up or 
down. It only affects computer images that are not the projector’s 
native resolution.
When 
Auto Resize is on, the projector makes the best fit of the 
image to the screen. If you turn 
Auto Resize off (by highlighting it 
in the Image menu and clicking either mouse button to select 
“off”), the image may be either cropped or too small for the 
screen.

Manual Sync
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for 
most computers. But if the projected computer image looks fuzzy 
or streaked, try turning 
Auto Image off then back on again. If the 
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization 
manually:
 1. Turn Auto Image off.
 2. Highlight Manual sync, then press either mouse button 
repeatedly until the image is sharp and free of streaks.
Manual Tracking
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video 
signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly 
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide 
or too narrow for the screen, try turning 
Auto Image off then back 
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking 
manually:
Note: The Manual Sync, Manual Tracking, Horiz. Position 
and Ve r t .  P o s i t i o n options are available only for computer 
sources. The projector sets these options automatically for 
a video source.
 1. Turn Auto Image off.
 2. Highlight Manual tracking, then press either mouse button 
repeatedly until the fuzzy vertical bars are gone.
Positioning adjustments are saved when you power off the 
projector.
Horizontal position
Follow these steps to manually adjust the horizontal position:
 1. Turn Auto Image off.
 2. Highlight Horizontal position, then press the left mouse 
button to move the image right or press the right mouse 
button to move the image left.
Positioning adjustments are saved when you power off the 
projector.

Video Standard
Note: If you already know the video standard used in your 
geographical area, it’s often best to manually select it.
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick 
the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, or 
SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The 
video standard options may vary depending on your region of the 
world.) The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and PAL-N video 
cannot be automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen 
manually. If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, 
the colors might not look right or the image might appear “torn.” 
If this happens, manually select a standard by clicking either 
mouse button and cycling through the standards.
