• With a 480i signal , you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal 
(1), the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0).
• With a 480p or higher-resolution signal,  the sharpness control is applied only 
to the output signal and only when you set the Sharpness filter to “on” (1).
The CL-810 has six memory settings for Color Temperature. Four of these settings 
are factory set to default as follows:
 0 -- Original lamp color temperature
 1 -- 5400 kelvins
 2 -- 6500 kelvins
 3 -- 8500 kelvins
 4 -- Custom
 5 -- Custom
Custom 4 and 5 memory are installer-adjustable and can be used to create custom 
settings. There are nine adjustable “white balance” parameters available for the Custom 
4 and 5 settings (three each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this 
section; refer to “Set Up.”
NOTE: You must enter a passcode in order to enter the Set Up menu. 
Use the  ICC Selection  menu to select the color space that is appropriate for the 
source signal, to achieve optimal color balance.
NOTE: The International Color Consortium (ICC) is a group of imaging product vendors 
that promotes and develops cross-platform, vendor-neutral color measurement and 
management standards. 
If you select NTSC, HDTV or PAL, you can make further adjustments to individual 
color space characteristics in the  ICC Adjust sub-menu under the  ISF Calibration 
menu, described later in this section. (The Standard color space is factory-set and 
not adjustable.)
 
Once the desired adjustments have been entered, select  Store Image Settings to 
save these settings into the “Memory 1” memory location.
To recall stored custom image quality settings, select  Restore Image Settings and 
choose “Memory 1,” “ISF Night” or “ISF Day.”

menu after turning on the projector. 
Gamma:  “Gamma” is a global setting that determines how gray shades are displayed 
between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good 
gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions 
for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays. Unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast” 
controls, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without changing 
the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good detail in dark 
areas when using the “Gamma” control.
In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Gamma Selection” (see below) 
will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is sometimes 
necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To do this, 
select Gamma from the White Balance sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow 
buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.
Gain: Use the Gain controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color imbalances 
in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting 
mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas 
contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
Offset:  Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color 
imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern 
consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray 
areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
Store Color Temp.4/Store Color Temp.5:  When you are finished adjusting the 
Gamma, Gain and Offset, select Store Color Temp.4 or Store Color Temp.5 to store 
your settings. To recall them, set the Color Temperature to +4 or +5 in the Image 
Adjustment menu (refer to “Picture Quality Adjustments,” earlier in this section).

The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all 
signals and conditions. If excess ambient light washes out the 
image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in 
dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will 
improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. 
Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with 
excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting. Again, 
good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details 
for blacks and whites.
The SD Enhance menu gives you options for improving 
the quality of standard-definition, 480i images. (For 480p 
and higher-definition images, the controls in this menu are 
disabled.) Keep in mind that these controls add frequencies 
that are not present in the original signal, and may make 
images appear “noisy” if misused. 
H Enhance/V Enhance: These controls can improve the 
apparent horizontal and/or vertical resolution of the image. 
Chroma  Enhance: This  control  adds  chroma  (color 
information) to the input signal and can make colors appear 
more vibrant and saturated. 
H Threshold/V Threshold/Chroma Threshold:  Set these to 
+11 or higher to activate the enhancement controls described 
above. Generally, the higher the threshold, the more noticeable 
the enhancements you make will be. 
Use the RVR Adjust control to increase or decrease the 
Reflectance Volume Regulation setting. RVR lets you control 
the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the lens; 
similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to 
optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount 
of ambient light in the viewing area. 
Use a higher setting for rooms with lots of ambient light. Use 
a lower setting for more “theater-like” viewing conditions (little 
or no ambient light). 
Image Over Scan pushes the outside edge of the active 
picture area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the 
display area. 
Some  television  programs  are  produced  based  on  the 
assumption that older television sets may not display the outer 
edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively trims 
away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining 
portion of the image to fill the display area.
Select from 1% to 10% of Over Scan, as desired.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Over Scan is 
generally not necessary or desirable.
