21 proc3 Values from 1.5 to 2.2 allow you to emphasise the detail of dark images, but reduce overall contrast. Values higher than 2.2 increase overall contrast, but reduce the detail of dark areas. For the most common video sources, the overscanning value can be in the range (no overscanning) to 32 (maximum). The resulting image always maintains the selected aspect irrespec- tive of the selected overscan value. POSITIONUse this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizon-tally. 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 au-tomatic control procedure with button A on the remote control or the AUTObutton on the keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a while or light coloured background on the screen in the current picture. Frequency/phaseThese adjustments, available for progressive signals and for si-gnals from a PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels that make 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. If however the image is disturbed (loss of resolution between equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of detail in thin vertical lines) it may help to ask the system to rerun the input signal analysis and set the best parameters by calling up the automatic adjustment function with A on the remote control or AUTO on the keypad.If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter the frequency and phase values manually and ap-proach the screen sufficiently to observe the effects of the adjustments. OVERSCAN Eliminates irregularities around the outer borders of the im- age. Some less accurate sources may produce an image with uneven borders; thanks to the overscan function these im- perfections can be moved to outside the displayed area. Il parameter to 2.2, typically yields pleasant, contrasty images. Y/C DELAYIn the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessar y 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. 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 Reverse the image vertically and horizontally to best fit the installation: i.e. desktop front, ceiling front, desktop rear and ceiling rear (Fig.23). +12VUSB 1.1R/CrCONTROL (RS232)GRAPHICS RGBC/YB/CbHVS-VIDEOAUDIO OUTHDMI 1REMOTE32S-VIDEOMENUESCINPUT154 0IHDMI 26 VERTICAL KEYSTONE To get the best image quality, we recommend installing the image on a surface which is perpendicular to the screen. If the projected image is not level, adjust the feet on its base to obtain a level position, lining up the base of the projected image to the base of the projection screen (Fig.24). If this adjustment is insufficient to centre the image, tilt the projector and use the Vertical/horizontal keystone adjustment to compensate for the resulting distortion. Fig.23

22 proc3 MENUS LANGUAGE It allow to select the languages available for the On Screen Display menus. INPUTS LIST In order to make the Pro-C3 system increasingly flexible, the functions described below make it possible to modify the inputs selection menu and adapt it so that it matches the require- ments of the user more closely. The main page displays all the inputs physically present on the projector. You can delete any inputs which are not in use. To do this, select the input in the pull down menu which appears when you press ◀, and choose whether to activate or deactivate the input (Fig.27). The deactivation or activation of the source results in automatic renumbering of the remaining active inputs. 2 S-VIDEO 4 GRAPHICS RGB 3 COMPONENT / RGBS 1 VIDEO 1 234 S-VIDEO 3 GRAPH RGB 9 COMP RGB 5 VIDEO 1 55HDMIHDMI 5 Imputs ACTIVE NAME YesNo 66HDMIHDMI 6 Active video signal sources (shown in the inputs selection menu) are distinguished by tick symbols. It can useful to identify the input with a user defined name rather than the type of signal (for example, with the name of the connected device). To do this, in the pull down menu select NAME and rename the source. This makes it easier to remember which source is connected to a given input; you can use up to 12 alphanumeric characters for the name (for further details, see ENTERING TExT). POWER ON If selected (AUTO), this option allows the system when the projector is connected to the mains power supply. In STANDBY mode the projector remain in STANDBY mode and awaits the power-up command from the remote control or keypad. TEST PATTERNS Displays a series of five test patterns, which are useful when installing the system and checking basic functions. Use the ◀ and ▶ keys to browse through the test patterns (Fig. 25).

The text is input in accordance with the method descri- bed in the heading TExT INSERT. Restore current values When you enter the MEMORIES menu a copy of the current settings is saved in a temporar y memor y (designated by 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 Memor y ‘0’(0 - AUTO). Note that this operation must be executed before the Memories’ menu page disappears (30 seconds after the final operation with the remote control or keypad). The next time it appears, in fact, the temporar y memor y will contain new information that takes account of any Memories that were selected in the penultimate access to the ‘MEMORIES page. Memor y 0 can be used even when you do not wish to enable Memories management for the signal in use. Once Memor y 0 has been selected, when a source is chosen, the settings that were effective at the time the Memor y was previously recalled will be automatically applied.
