21 ���������� IMAGE This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, etc. ASPECT This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the relative source is called. You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly pressing the key, or by pressing and a numerical key (1...8). The following aspects are available. NORMAL: projects the image occupying the full height of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands are displayed on the right and left of the picture. ANAMORPHIC: allows a 16:9 picture to be displayed correctly. Letterbox: serves to display 4:3 letterbox image (with source signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio. PANORAMIC: this aspect stretches the 4:3 image, slightly cropping the upper and lower parts. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen of the Display. PIXEL TO PIXEL: this aspect displays the image as it is input without adapting it to the screen. The image is projected in the centre of the screen and if its ho - rizontal and/or vertical dimensions are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or horizontal black bands. PEUSER 1, 2, 3: When none of the preset formulas are suitable, the User formulas are available, with the facility for continuous horizontal and vertical adjustment of picture size. Screen Control If an appropriate screen-masking interface is connected to the 12V output socket it is possible, for each aspect chosen, to re- frame the screen to a variety of aspect ratios and screen sizes (please refer to the screen manufacturer’s manual). COLOR TEMPERATURE Changes the colour balance of the image. The color temperature adjustment is made by positioning the white point inside CIE cromaticity diagram. The systems allows to choose the white point among 36 values inside the neutral color area (Fig. 21). ��� ��� ��� ��� ������������� ���� ���� ���� ���� ���� ��� ��� ������ ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ��� ������ ���� ��� � Fig. 21 The correlated color temperature varies moving along hori - zontal lines, low temperatures are present in the right side (where the red component is increased), in the left side of the diagram you can find high temperature values ( in which blue component is higher). The points along the lower horiziontal line represent colors that belong to the black body curve (Fig. 22). Along vertical lines the color temperature is constant but is different from black body curve, which mean if you select point from the high part of the diagram you increase the green componet, while low part of diagram cause an increase of purple component.

However, if the image appears disturbed (loss of position within the equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of shar - pness on the narrow vertical lines) it may help to prompt the system to repeat the input signal analysis and determination of the best parameters by calling the automatic adjustment procedure with the AUTO key on the remote control or on the keypad. If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter the frequency and phase values manually and approach the screen sufficiently to observe the effects of the adjustments. Y / C DELAY In the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessary to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the source or connection cable has changed.

There are availabel up to 12 degamma curves, using these curves it is possible choose the best curve for the signal and the image in use. OVERSCAN Remove noise around image. Some sources can produce a picture with noise along edges, thanks to the overscan function it is possible to drop such imperfections outside the projected area. The overscan value can be included between 0 (no overscan) and 32 (maximum value). The image maintains in any case the aspect. POSITION Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and ho- rizontally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedure from the AUTO button on the remote control or keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light co - loured background on the screen in the current picture. FREQUENCY/PHASE These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for signals from PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making

Any keystone error can be removed by the Keystone adjustment in the Set up menu. The keystone adjustement helps to compensate possible ho - rizontal tilts of the projector. LENS The Zoom adjustment impacts on the motorized zoom lens allowing to increase or decrease the dimension of the projected image. The Focus adjustment impacts on the motorized lens focus, allowing to obtain the highest definition on the projected image, an accurate focus setting should allow the viewer to distinguish each pixel that create the image one from another. If the video signal used is not suitable for this purpose,the HT 300 E-LINK system provide two test pattern ,each available with the ajustment mentioned above,in order to select the appropriate value for Zoom and Focus. This test pattern is displayed by pressing the • key,once the right adjustments are reached using the fl and ‡ keys,the test image can be easly removed pressing again the • key of the remote control.

24 ���������� In the initial phase of installation the configurable keys (F1, F2) serve as optical zoom and optical focus (Fig.26). POWER ON If active (AUTO) allows to power up the system directly from the power feeder, once the initializing phase is completed. If not active (STAND-BY) once the initializing phase is completed the system remains in a stand-by mode waiting to receive the power on command from the remote control or the key pad. TEST PATTERNS Displays a series of five test patterns, useful for the installation of the projector. Press · and ‚ keys to browse pattern. FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the projector to original factory settings except Position, Orientation, Y/C Delay, Zoom and Focus. MENU LANGUAGE Lists the languages available for the On Screen Display menus. SOURCE LIST In order for the HT300 E-LINK system to be more flexible, the following described functions allow to modify the input selection menu making it more user friendly. The main window shows all the inputs available on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor. If one or more inputs are not utilized, it is often helpful to blank them from the input list (accessed with the 0 key). Once the input has been chosen, in the drop menu that appears by pressing the fl key, it is possible to activate the source (Fig.27). The exclusion or activation of the source will automatically renumber the remaining active inputs. 2 VIDEO 3 S-VIDEO 9 GRAPHICS RGB 10 11 5 COMPONENT / RGBS 6 COMPONENT / RGBS COMPONENT / RGBS 7 COMPONENT / RGBS 8 COMPONENT / RGBS 1 VIDEO 1234 S-VIDEO 45678910GRAPHICS RGB11DVI-D VIDEO 2 S-VIDEO 3 GRAPH RGB 9 GRAPH RGB 10 DVI-D 11 COMP RGB 5 COMP RGB 6 COMP RGB 6 COMP RGB 7 COMP RGB 8 VIDEO 1 S-VIDEO 4 12 12HDMI HDMI 12 Source list/Edit source name ACTIVE NAMEYes No Fig.27 The inputs with an active video signal (visible in the input se - lection menu) are marked with a check symbol. It can be also helpful to identify the input with a name chosen by the user (for example with the name of the connected source) rather than with the signal type. Once chosen to have the input visible, in the drop menu, by selecting the Name option it is possible to rename the source in use. This will make it easier to remember the source connected to a specific input. You can use up to 12 alphanumeric letters to name the source (for more details check the “Insert text” section).

You can toggle between Zoom and Pan mode by pressing the F1/F2 key on the remote control. Blank Blanks the active video signal producing a completely black screen. Once pressed the key an indication of a few seconds on the OSD will confirm its activation. A click of any other key of the remote control allows to restore the previous settings. Color temperature The following click of the key (F1 or F2) allows to choose between the different values of the grid (fig BBB). The | and | key allow to move along vertical lines , keeping the same color temperature but choosing different values from the black body curve. Using the fl and ‡ keys , you can choose different color temperature values. Gamma correction The following click of the key (F1 or F2) allows to choose between the different gamma values available. You can also use the fl or ‡ keys to select the most appro- priate curve. SOURCE INFORMATION When active (YES) each source change will show the infor- mation related to the signal. If not active (NO) there will be no information on the selected source. OSD BACKGROUND Determines the type of background for the On Screen Di- splay. OSD TIMEOUT Use this adjustment to set the display time after which the On Screen Display will disappear. OSD POSITION Allows the On Screen Display to be positioned in a particular area of the projected image. The OSD can be positioned using the arrow keys for fine adjustments or keys 1...9 on the remote control to select one of 9 preset positions.

26 ���������� MEMORIES The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single command. There are 3 distinct Memories (Memory 1, Memory 2, Memory 3) for each of the 25 signal types managed: making a total of 75 different available Memories. The image parameters that can be saved/recalled by the Me - mories management system are the following: Image Picture BRIGHTNESS ASPECT CONTRAST COLOR TEMP. COLOR OVERSCAN TINT GAMMA SHARPNESS FILTER SHARPNESS MODE VIDEO TYPE NOISE REDUCTION 5 COMP/RGB(YCrCb 15KHz) 5 COMP/RGB(RGB 15KHz) 6 COMP/RGB(YCrCb 15KHz) 6 COMP/RGB(RGB 15KHz) 5 COMP/RGB(YCrCb 32KHz) 5 COMP/RGB(RGB 32KHz) 6 COMP/RGB(YCrCb) 6 COMP/RGB(RGB) 7 COMP/RGB(YCrCb 15KHz) 7 COMP/RGB(RGB 15KHz) 8 COMP/RGB(YCrCb 15KHz) 8 COMP/RGB(RGB 15KHz) 7 COMP/RGB(YCrCb) 7 COMP/RGB(RGB) 8 COMP/RGB(YCrCb) 8 COMP/RGB(RGB) 9 GRAPHICS RGB 11 DVI-D (RGB) 12 HDMI1 VIDEO 2 VIDEO 10 GRAPHICS RGB 11 DVI-D (YCrCb) 3 S-VIDEO 4 S-VIDEO Some of these parameters may not be available for certain inputs or certain input signals, as indicated in Tables 4 and 5. The menu page for the Memories management functions is activated by pressing the key on the remote control or the fl key on the keypad (Fig.30). ZOOM��� � � � � Fig.30 The operations that can be performed on each memory se - lected are described here below. SAVE A MEMORY To save the current values of the image parameters in Memory 1, use the · and ‚ keys to move to line ‘1’ and then open the pull- down menu by pressing the fl key (Fig.31). Then select the option ‘Save current settings’. To confirm that the operation has been completed successfully, the message ‘Current settings saved in Memory 1’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘S’ appears to the left of the memory name. The same procedure is used to save parameters in Memories 2 and 3. 0 Auto 3 S MEMORIA 1 Memories Save current settings Save initial settings Rename 2 I 1 S Fig.31 RECALL A MEMORY To recall a Memory, select the desired line and press ‡. The parameters saved in the selected Memory will be applied to the image displayed and a message will appear to confirm the operation ‘Memory 1 recalled’. The Memory recalled will be associated with the source and signal type, and will be automatically recalled every time that particular source and signal type combination is selected.

27 ���������� SAVE DEFAULT SETTINGS To restore the original values to a previously modified Memory, select the line corresponding to the Memory in question and open the pull-down menu ( fl key). Then select the line ‘Initial settings saved in Memory 1’. To confirm that the operation has been completed successfully, the message ‘Memory 1 initia - lised’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘I’ appears to the left of the name of the memory. RENAME A MEMORY It is possible to assign a name to each Memory. To assign a name (with a maximum length of 12 alphanumeric characters) to a Memory, select the option ‘Rename’ from the correspon - ding pull-down menu. Enter the text following the procedure indicated in paragraph “source list”. RESTORE CURRENT SETTINGS On entering the ‘Memories’ menu, a copy of the current settings is saved in a temporary menu (labelled with 0 - AUTO). Once one or more memories have been recalled, you can restore the settings that were effective at the moment the Memories menu was accessed by selecting 0 - AUTO. However, this operation must be completed before the ‘Memories’ menu page disap - pears (30 seconds after the last operation commanded from the remote control or the keypad). The next time it appears, the temporary memory will contain new information that takes into account any Memories selected the penultimate time the ‘Memories’ page was accessed. Memory 0 (- AUTO) can be used even when you do not wish to enable the Memories management function for the signal currently in use. Once Memory 0 has been selected, when a source is chosen, the settings that were effective at the time the Memory was previously recalled will be automatically applied. INFO Displays the current status of the projector and information concerning the projected video/graphic signal. This function is displayed on pressing on the remote control (or, in the absence of the On Screen Display, the ‡ key on the remote control). QUICK MENUS The quick menus provide access to the main adjustments that affect image quality, without calling the main On Screen menus. BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, COLOUR, TINT, SHARPNESS and FILTER adju- stments appear at the bottom of the screen one after the other when the ·and ‚ keys are pressed. MESSAGES The following messages may appear during operation of the system: No signal The system does not recognise any signal applied to the se - lected input. In this case: • Make sure the selected input is connected to a video or graphic signal and that that source is functioning cor - rectly. • Check the condition of the cables used to connect the sy - stem to the various sources. • Make sure the video or graphic signals supplied by the sour - ce are compatible with the system’s technical specifications and, in particular, with those of the selected input. Out of Range This message appears when either the resolution or the ver - tical/horizontal frequency of the input signal exceeds system specifications (e.g. a QXGA graphic signal) or when an input is supplied with an incompatible signal (after setting the components input to YCrCb 15kHz a progressive signal is connected).

28 ���������� 10 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE No power (Green and red LED are OFF) - Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I. - Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a working socket. - Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector. - Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type (T 3.15A H) (Fig. 2). - Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical assi - stance. The lamp is not coming on - Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down sufficiently. - If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance from your nearest Dealer. No image - Check that the selected input is actually connected to a active video or graphic signal. - Check that the above source actually works. - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical specifications of the projector. - Check the integrity of cables used to connect various sour- ces. - Check the cooling air inlets or air outlets on the units are not obstructed and the room temperature is below 35°C (95°F). Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical specifications of the projector. - Check the integrity of cables connecting projector to various sources. - If the signal source is a terrestrial broadcast (via a VCR) check that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and that the aerial system is in good working order. - Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first generation” copy and in good condition. - Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture per- formance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture menu. Incomplete image along borders (vertical and horizontal) - Compare compatibility of video/graphic signals and technical specifications of your projector. 9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The Projector and DigiOptic™ Image Processor do not require internal cleaning. There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector. Please refer all service requirements to qualified personnel. Cleaning the projector’s cover: Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals, as this will damage the finish of the cover. Avoid direct cleaning of the rear panel’s screen-printing. Cleaning the lens: The lens may be cleaned with a very soft, non-abrasive small brush, in order to remove dust particles. Alternatively, use a soft dry cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens cleaning) to remove fingerprints and grease marks.
