Using the Projector
Using the On-Screen Menus
The projector
 has six drop-down menus that allow you to make 
image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these 
adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad. 
NOTE: Some menu items may be
grayed out at certain times. This
indicates the item is not applicable
to your setup (for example, video
standards do not apply to
computer sources) or the item is
not enabled until another selection
is made (for example, Manual
Tracking is not available until Auto
Image is turned off).
To open the on-screen menus, press the menu button on the 
keypad or remote. This changes the volume, source, and standby 
buttons on the keypad to menu navigation buttons. Press the 
corresponding buttons to move the cursor up, down, left, or 
right, or use the disk mouse on the remote. To select a menu, 
move the cursor left or right to highlight the menu you want. The 
drop-down menu appears.
FIGURE 13
Keypad navigation buttons and drop-down menu
To change a menu setting, use the up and down navigation but-
tons on the keypad or the disk mouse on the remote to move the 
cursor up and down to the item you want to change (the selected 
item is highlighted), then use the left and right navigation but-
tons to adjust a setting. Some submenus, such as Brightness, con-
sist of a slider bar you use to increase or decrease a value; some 
submenus, such as Standby Time, consist of options you scroll 
through to select the desired one. All changes are saved when 
you close the menus.
To access another menu, use the up and down navigation buttons 
or the disk mouse to move back to the top of the current menu, 
then use the left and right navigation buttons to move to another 
menu.

Ke y s t o n e
This option helps to keep the image square as the angle of projec-
tion is changed. To adjust the keystone, highlight Keystone, then 
click the right navigation button. This option is available for com-
puter sources only.
NOTE: Some screen savers inter-
fere with the operation of Auto 
Image. If you’re experiencing prob-
lems, try turning your screen saver 
off, then turning Auto Image off 
and back on. OverscanThis option crops all the edges of the image to remove noise gen-
erated on the edges by your source. This option is available for 
video sources only.
Auto Image
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchroniza-
tion and vertical and horizontal position for most computers 
(Auto Image does not apply to video sources). If you want to 
adjust these features manually, you must turn off 
Auto Image first 
by highlighting Auto Image in the Image menu and clicking the 
left or right navigation button to select “off”.
Resize
NOTE: When you connect an 
HDTV source, the projector auto-
matically displays the image in 
16x9 format.
This option works differently for computer and video sources. 
For computer sources, 
Resize automatically resizes the image by 
scaling it up or down. It only affects computer images that are not 
the projector ’s native resolution. When 
Resize is on, the projector 
makes the best fit of the image to the computer screen. If you turn 
Resize off (by highlighting it in the Image menu and clicking the 
left or right navigation button to select “off”), the image may be 
either cropped or too small for the screen.

Using the Projector
For video sources, Resize allows you to select from among four 
different re-sizing options. The default is 
Standard, which resizes 
the image from its original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect 
ratio screen. 
Widescreen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio 
of the original theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 
space, so black bars appear at the top and bottom of the image. 
Enhanced Widescreen also preserves the aspect ratio of the origi-
nal theater version and is designed to be used with content that is 
Enhanced for Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail 
than Widescreen Letterbox. 
Native reduces the Standard size to 
match the height of Enhanced Widescreen.
Manual Sync
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for 
most computers. But if the projected computer image looks fuzzy 
or streaked, try turning 
Auto Image off then back on again. If the 
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization 
manually:
1Tu r n  A u t o  I m a g e  o f f .
2Highlight Manual sync, then press the left or right navigation 
button repeatedly until the image is sharp and free of streaks.
Manual Tracking
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video 
signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly 
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide 
or too narrow for the screen, try turning 
Auto Image off then back 
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-
ually:

Video Standard
NOTE: If you already know the
video standard used in your
geographical area, it’s often best to
manually select it.
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to 
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, 
PAL-60, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it 
receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on 
your region of the world.) The input signal for SECAM video is 
similar to other video signals and cannot be automatically 
detected, therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. If the pro-
jector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might 
not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens, 
manually select a standard by clicking the left or right navigation 
button and cycling through the standards.
Standby Time
This option lets you select how long the lamp stays on and the 
blank screen is displayed when the projector enters standby 
mode before the projector turns off. Select among instant, 1, 5, 10, 
15 and 30 minutes and 1 and 2 hours by clicking the left or right 
navigation button and cycling through the options.
Rear Projection
When you turn Rear Projection on, the projector reverses the 
image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. High-
light Rear Projection, then click the left or right navigation button 
to turn this feature on and off. 
						

							25
Default Source
Default Source toggles among Computer analog, Computer digi-
tal, and Video. This determines which source the projector checks 
first for active video during power-up. Highlight Default Source 
and click the left or right navigation button to toggle among the 
options.
Auto Source Select
This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is Off, 
the projector defaults to the source selected in Default Source. To 
display another source, you must manually select one by press-
ing the 
source button on the keypad or the computer or video but-
ton on the remote. When this feature is On, the projector 
automatically finds the active source, checking the default source 
first. Highlight Auto Source Select and click the left or right navi-
gation button to turn this feature on and off.
Plug and Play
This setting toggles between On and Off. When it is On, most 
new computers will automatically recognize the projector, then 
set the monitor resolution and refresh rate accordingly. You need 
to set the Plug and Play setting to Off for the projector to display 
properly on some older computers. The Plug and Play setting 
does not affect video images. 
If the projector ’s display constantly changes between the com-
puter image and the message, “Perfecting the image”, you may 
need to turn Plug and Play Off.
Display Messages
This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is On, 
status messages such as “No signal detected” or “Standby 
Active” appear in the lower-right corner of the screen. Click the 
left or right navigation button to turn this feature off and not see 
status messages.
Display Startup Screen
This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is On, 
the startup screen appears when the projector starts up and 
remains until an active source is detected. Click the left or right 
navigation button to turn this feature off and display a plain 
black or blue screen instead of the startup screen.
