Each display mode (Present/ Bright/ Movie/ sRGB/ User) has its 
own	color	temperature	and	can	memorize	user’s	selection.
When	you	adjust	the	color	setting	item,	the	color	temperature	will	
be	set	as	“User”	automatically.	And	this	set	“User”	is	the	same	for	
all	display	mode.	
Different	color	setting	will	be	memorized	at	4	different	source	
groups.	But	they	will	be	same	under	same	source.

4.	Video	/	S-Video
When	we	adjust	color	setting	the	current	color	temperature	will	be	
memorized	before	it	auto	switch	to	“User”.	Because	the	memo-
rized	color	temperature	will	be	a	base	of	“User”.	For	example:
1.) Colour temp. is Low.
2.) User create his favorite color based on “Low” setting of colour 
temperature.	So	when	user	switch	“Colour	temp.”	to	“User”,	
will find the image color temperature close to “Low”.
