The  various  menus  only  offer  the  relevant  adjustments  in  ac-
cordance  with  the  type  of  input  signal  displayed  (e.g.  certain 
typical adjustments for video signals, not necessary for graphic 
signals, do not appear on the menus, and vice versa). 
Some  adjustments  (e.g.
 BRIGHTNESS  and CONTRAST)  are  asso-
ciated with a numerical value that can be varied within the set 
limits using the keys 
fl  / ‡.  For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE) you can 
choose among three options presented on the same
fl / ‡). 
Other adjustments (marked by the < symbol) provide subme
-
nus, which appear as a superimposed window in which the 
selection is made with the · and ‚ keys (Fig. 20).

PICTURE
This menu features the adjustments related to picture quality. 
Adjustments  that  are  not  available  for  a  given  input  do  not 
 
appear on the menu.  Table 4 summarises the adjustments avai
-
lable for each input. For a complete overview of the on-screen 
menus, consult the 
ON SCREEN MENU LAYOUT in the  ADDITIONAL 
INFORMATION
 section. 
BRIGHTNESS
Use  this  control  to  adjust  the  image’s  black  level  without  
affecting white areas. Increasing the value will give more detail 
in darker parts of the picture. For correct adjustment it may pro
-
ve useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale within 
which the black level and the level immediately above it must 
be separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed 
of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects.
CONTRAST
Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affec-
ting white areas.
To ensure correct adjustment, it may prove useful to display the 
signal relative to the grey scale, within which the white level and 
the level immediately below it must be separately identifiable. 
Alternatively  use  a  scene  composed  of  well-lit  white  objects 
surrounded by light coloured objects with lower level lighting. 
COLOR
This  control  (also  called  Saturation)  increases  or  decreases

the  picture  colour  intensity.  When  set  to  zero,  colour  images  
will  be  shown  in  black  and  white.  Increasing  the  value,  try  to 
 
find the point at which the colours look natural: suitable referen
-
ces include skin tones and grass in landscape shots.
TINT
Controls  the  purity  of  the  colours.  Basically  determines  the  
red-green ratio of the picture. 
Reducing  the  value  will  boost  the  red  contents  of  the  pictu
-
re,  increasing  the  value  will  boost  the  green  tones.  For  this 
adjustment use skin tones or a test pattern image with colour 
 
bars as a reference. 
SHARPNESS
Use  this  adjustment  to  increase  and  decrease  the  level  of  
picture detail. 
When  the  sharpness  value  is  reduced  the  image  details 
 
appear  less  pronounced,  while  increasing  the  value  raises 
 
image definition, making the outline of objects sharper. 
Note that an excessively high value may result in a ‘noisy’ picture 
and the edges of objects may be unnaturally defined.
SHARPNESS MODE
This  allows  you  to  select  the  type  of  processing  associated  
with sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or in
-
terlaced video signal 
VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic 
signals use GRAPHIC MODE.
FILTER
This  allows  you  to  select  the  mode  in  which  the  input  signal  
is processed. Selecting the most appropriate value for a given 
input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition 
and makes the picture sharper. 
CINEMA MODE
In AUTO the deinterlacer recognises if the video signal source  
is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with 3:2 or 2:2 
pull-down)  and  applies  a  deinterlace  algorithm  optimised  for 
this type of signal.
If  the  video  signal  source  is  not  identified  as  a  film,  or  if  you 
select NO  the  deinterlacer  applies  a  Motion  compensated  al-
gorithm optimised for video camera signals.
VIDEO TYPE
Activates a filter to improve stability of pictures from video re-
corders or DVD players. To toggle between 
NORMAL , VCR1 mode 
and VCR2 mode press  on the remote control. 
NOISE  REDUCTION
This  adjustments  allows  to  choose  the  filter  value  for  noise 
reduction purposes.
As  soon  as  this  option  is  selected  on  the  menu,  the  image  is 
divided in two parts.
In the left side the image is not altered by the filter, in the right 
part the filter is activated.
This allows you to compare the effect of the filter.
It  is  possible  to  deactivated  the  filter  (
NOT  ACTIVE),  to  use  the 
automatic  adjustments  (
AUTO)  or  to  manually  select  (MANUAL) 
the value suitable for the image with the VALUE adjustment.
In  case  of  using  the 
VALUE  adjustement,  it  is  enoght  to  select 
to cursor below and set the value with the 
fl / ‡ keys of the 
remote control.
Associated  to  the 
NOISE  REDUCTION  there  is  the  possibility  to 
use the specific function 
(FLESH TONE CORRECTION) to make skin 
tone more natural. Often the use of noise reduction filter slightly 
degrades the image in those areas where skin tones are visible. 
With the use of this function it is possible to maintain an excellent 
image quality throughout the entire projected image.

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 crop-
ping 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.
USER  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. 
Colours can be adjusted towards the red end of the spectrum 
(low colour temperature values - expressed in degrees Kelvin) 
or the blue end (high values). 
Colour temperature can be selected with three preset values: 
HIGH (corresponding to approx. 9000 degrees Kelvin), MEDIUM 
(approx.  8000  degrees  Kelvin), 
LOW  (approx.  6500  degrees 
Kelvin)  and  one 
PERSONAL  setting  controlled  by  the  user  with 
separate adjustments for RED, GREEN and BLUE.
In the personale color adjustment for all three colors it is pos
-
sible to set  an Offset value and Gain.
The Offset adjustments have an impact of the low IRE values, 
while the Gain adjustments impact of the higher IRE values. 
Generally, the 
HIGH value is more suitable for displaying graphic 
images, MEDIUM and LOW for video images.
These adjustments are reserved for expert users since there is 
a risk of obtaining results that impair projected image quality.
GAMMA CORRECTION
Determines the system’s response to the grey scale, emphasi-
sing or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks,
dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image.
There  are  6  types  of  gamma  curves  FILM,FILM1,VIDEO,  VI
-
DEO1,  GRAPHIC  and  USER.  Whit  USER  curve  the  the  user 
may  select  the  exponent  (gamma  value)  used  for  gamma 
compensation.
Values between 1.5 to 2.2 enhance the details in the dark image 
content, resulting in a lower contrast perception.
Values higher than 2.2 , occurs a fade away of details in the dark 
image content, resulting in a higher contrast perception.
With the value equal to 2.2 (the standard value) , the image’s
colours displayed are the most natural colours available with
the common video sources.
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 over
-
scan)  and  32  (maximum  value).  The  image  maintains  in  any 
case the aspect. 
						

							
22

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 coloured 
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 
up 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 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. Table 5
SETUP
The setup menu contains less frequently used adjustments that 
may  be  required  during  installation  (e.g. 
On  Screen  Display 
language selection or the display of Test Patterns).
ORIENTATION
Select the option that best describes the installation i.e. desktop 
front, ceiling front, desktop rear and ceiling rear.

HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL KEYSTONE
To obtain maximum quality of the projected image, we recom-
mend the installation of the projector on a level platform parallel 
and central to the screen.
Adjust the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up 
the base of the projected image to the base of the projection 
screen 
(Fig. 22).

If  the  projected  images  needs  to  be  centred,  the 
LENS  SHIFT 
(see  next  paragraph)  adjustment  allows  the  projected  image 
to be moved vertically and horizontally, in relation to the centre 
of the screen 
(Fig. 23).

In the event you are unable to centre the image within the screen 
area, tilt the projector until the image is correctly positioned. 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 di
-
stinguish each pixel that create the image one from another.
If the video signal used is not suitable for this purpose, the
HT 500 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. The LENS SHIFT adjustment allows to move 
horizontally (keys 
fl and ‡) and vertically (keys · and ‚) the 
lens, in order to center the image.

LAMP POWER
If  your  room  is  especially  dark,  the  images  from  the  system 
HT500LINK could result execessively bright. In order to enjoy 
wonderful images, the 
ECOMODE function activation allows to re 
du ce the power used to feed the lamp. In this way, the bright
-
ness of the image will be adapted to your projection conditions 
and a grater life lamp will be guaranteed.
POWER ON
If active (AUTO) allows to power up the system directly from the 
power feeder, once the initializing phase is completed.

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)

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 Mem

associated with the source and signal type, and will be auto-
matically recalled every time that particular source and signal 
type combination is selected.
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 initialised 
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 corresponding 
pull-down  menu.  Enter  the  text  following  the  procedure  indi
-
cated 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 vertical/
horizontal frequency of the input signal exceeds system speci
-
fications (e.g. a QXGA graphic signal) or when an input is sup
-
plied with an incompatible signal (after setting the components 
input to YCrCb 15kHz a progressive signal is connected).
Substitution lamp
If  the  lamp  hours  exceed  the  90%  of  the  life  lamp,  at  every 
switching  on  ,  a  brief  message  appears  on  the  screen  to  re
-
member the need of replacing it in a short time.
If the lamp life is greater than 100%  the message above persists 
until the ESC key is pressed.

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 5A 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  ho

rizontal) 
•  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.
