Note that the two menus differ only in their user interface, so use whichever menu 
best suits your needs and application. 
• Color Adjustments by X,Y
 — Enter known x/y coordinates from the 
chromaticity graph. 
• Color Saturation
 — Adjust color slidebars and judge image color by eye or 
meter. 
A user-defined color “adjustment” can be applied for a source by selecting the 
desired “User” option in the “Select Color Adjustment” list accessed in the Advanced...

COLOR SATURATION: Use this 
submenu if you do not have 
specific color coordinates in mind 
and will simply judge color 
performance by eye or meter. Like 
the Color Adjustment by X,Y 
submenu, each color control 
actually defines new x/y 
coordinates for that color and 
changes its hue—it is just a 
different interface. 
Adjust the hue of each primary 
color (red, green, blue, and white) 
by using more or less of it in 
relation to the other colors. Apply

When using certain RGB sources, you may need to adjust the normal gain or offset of 
odd pixels in relation to even pixels. This will smooth out very narrow (1-pixel wide) 
“checks” or vertical stripes that indicate adjacent “on” and “off” pixels. Although 
offset and gain slidebars can be adjusted individually and manually, using the Level 
Detector simplifies this process (see Figure 3.26): 
1) Use an external analog native-sized continuous grayscale test...

Images from this source will then display correct blacks and whites without crushing 
or washing out. 
Level Detector 
The Level Detector checkbox enables a specific thresholds for blacks and whites—
input levels that fall below a specified Level Value (see below) are displayed as 
black, and all others are displayed as white. It aids in Odd Pixel Adjustment. To use: 
1.  Enable Level Detector and display a continuous grayscale. 
2. Set Level Value to near...

that the current image appears to dissolve or “fade” into the new image. 
Options for enabling and controlling PIP and Seamless Switching all reside in the 
same menu. Note, however, that because both features utilize the projector’s double 
processing capability, PIP and Seamless Switching cannot be used together. For 
example, fading a pair of PIP images into a new display...

Swap Main and PIP Image 
(
SHORT CUT: Press Swap from your presentation.) 
Toggle the current picture-in-picture relationship so that the primary (main) image 
becomes secondary (PIP), and the secondary image becomes primary. Swapping is 
available only when PIP is enabled. 
NOTE: There may be a slight delay when swapping the Primary and Secondary 
images.

Numbers Select Main Image 
Use Numbers Select Main Image to use the 
numeric keys #1-8 as input keys. This remapping 
of the keypad (see right) can be particularly 
useful with PIP displays, providing a convenient 
shortcut for changing the primary (background) 
image without first having to return to the Main 
menu. To use the keys in this manner all of the 
time,...

Enter a checkmark for LAMP MESSAGE to enable a warning message that will appear 
upon power-up when the lamp has reached the specified lamp limit and should be

your lamp expires, only the status display messages on the back of the projector will 
provide the visual warning to replace the lamp. 
NOTES: 1) It is recommended that the Lamp Message checkbox remain enabled. 2)
