exhibits tearing or “flag-waving”, increase the PLL loop gain setting as necessary.
Or, if your image is unstable and “breaks up”, this may indicate that the PLL loop
gain setting is either too high or too low. PLL Loop Gain affects the current channel
only.

Color Space
This option determines how the color components of an input signal are decoded for
accurate color in the display. Selecting a color space option is useful only for analog
signals connected to 
INPUT 1 or INPUT 2. Although the color space for such a signal is
automatically determined by the projector, in some circumstances you may wish to
override this and manually set a different color space.
NOTE: For digital signals or for signals connected to...

SELECT COLOR TEMP —  “Select Color Temp” applies either a
preset color temperature (3200K, 5400K, 6500K or 9300K) or
any previously “User” defined color temperature. Color
temperatures are measured in degrees Kelvin and represent the
“coloration” (reddish or bluish) of the whites displayed by the
projector—the lower the temperature, the more reddish the
whites; the higher the temperature, the more bluish the whites.
NOTE: The custom temperatures “User” or...

By default, the projector can utilize any of four calibrated factory-set color
temperatures: 3200, 5400, 6500 or 9300 (expressed in degrees Kelvin). For most
applications, these temperatures will display accurate and realistic colors from a
variety of sources. They can be selected at any time from the “Select Color Temp”
list in the Color Setup submenu.
However, if you require extra color temperatures, you can also add up to five custom
color temperatures—four...
