Advanced Picture Menu
You can adjust the gaps in color that have occurred after a long period of use.
 Auto Calibration results in relatively coarse calibration. No warranty is given for the color settings 
to be the same as the factory default values.
 While performing “Pre Check” or “Adjust,” the colors are projected automatically. This is not a 
malfunction.
 Do not turn off the power or operate the remote control or control panel during “Pre Check” or 
“Adjust”, as the process may be canceled.
Tips
 dE is an indicator of changing color. The smaller the value of dE, the fewer the changes caused by 
the color.
 Perform the calibration after the power has been on for more than 30 minutes.
 It takes a few minutes for “Pre Check” or “Adjust” to complete.
 When “Pre Check” or “Adjust” starts, the screen position may shift, as the lens returns to its factory 
default position. After completion, the screen returns to its previous position automatically.
 If the environment changes, such as the brightness of the room, while performing “Pre Check” or 
“Adjust”, measurement may be affected.
 If the “Pre Check” or “Adjust” function fails, try it once again.
Notes
Setting items Description
Auto CalibrationPre Check: Checks the color difference against the factory default 
settings, before calibration starts.
Adjust: Performs Auto Calibration.
Before/After: Toggles the factory default setting and the setting after the 
calibration at a certain frequency. You can check the effect of the 
calibration by monitoring the actual image.
Reset: Resets the calibration results, and returns to the factory default 
settings.

Setting items Description
Picture Position
[POSITION]You can store up to five combinations of lens settings, aspect ratio, and 
blanking.
After setting the lens, aspect, and blanking, select from “1.85:1,” 
“2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” or “Custom 3” depending on the 
subtended screen angle, and after confirming, continue by selecting 
“Save,” “Delete,” or “Select.”
Save: Stores the current lens settings (focus, window size, window 
position) in the selected position. If a setting is already stored in that 
position, it is overwritten.
Delete: Deletes the stored setting. After the setting is deleted, “1.85:1,” 
“2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” or “Custom 3” in the display change 
to “---.”
Select: Recalls the settings of the selected position.
Tip
The optimal aspect ratio is preset for each picture position. The aspect 
ratio can be changed and saved for each picture position.
 After you have selected and confirmed the lens position, the lens starts 
to move. Do not touch the lens and the area around the lens, otherwise 
it may cause injury or a malfunction.
 If you press any button on the unit while the lens is moving, the lens 
stops. In this case, select the lens position again or adjust the lens 
manually.
 When you use a 2.35:1 or a 16:9 subtended screen angle with the 
Picture Position function, make sure that the installation position is 
suitable (page 17).
 The Picture Position function is not guaranteed to reproduce the lens 
settings precisely.

Aspect
[ASPECT]You can set the aspect ratio of the picture to be displayed for the current 
input signal (page 19). 
You can set the function only when a video signal other than a resolution 
of 4096 × 2160 pixels is input.
1.85:1 Zoom: A 1.85:1 aspect ratio picture is displayed in its original 
aspect ratio, enlarged so that black bands do not appear at the top and 
bottom of the screen.
2.35:1 Zoom: A 2.35:1 aspect ratio picture is displayed in its original 
aspect ratio, enlarged so that black bands at the top and bottom of the 
screen are as small as possible.
When you select “2.35:1 Zoom” from “Trigger Select 1/2” on the 
Installation   menu, a 12 V signal is output from the TRIGGER 1 or 
TRIGGER 2 connector (page 39).
Normal: Input video is displayed in its original aspect ratio, enlarged to 
fill the screen. This mode is suitable for viewing 1.78:1 (16:9) and 1.33:1 
(4:3) video.
V Stretch: This is the most suitable mode for using a 2.35:1 screen to 
view 2.35:1 video with a commercially available anamorphic lens.
When you select “V Stretch” from “Trigger Select 1/2” on the 
Installation   menu, a 12 V signal is output from the TRIGGER 1 or 
TRIGGER 2 connector (page 39).
Squeeze: With this setting, 1.78:1 (16:9) and 1.33:1 (4:3) video will be 
displayed in their correct aspect ratios when you use a commercially 
available anamorphic lens.
Stretch: Displays video that has been squeezed to 1.33:1 (4:3) as 1.78:1 
(16:9) aspect ratio.
Tips
 When you select “V Stretch” or “Squeeze,” select the anamorphic lens 
type from “Anamorphic Lens” in the Installation   menu.
 Selectable aspect modes vary depending on the input signal (page 62).
 The aspect cannot be selected for an input signal from a computer, or 
an input signal with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 (pages 57, 58, 62).
Blanking This feature allows you to adjust the displayable region within the four 
directions of the screen.
