Vidikron Vision Model 100 Owner’s Operating Manual 4-1 4.1 Turning on the Power 1. Turn on the main power switch on the projector. 2. Press the ON button on the remote control -- or the POWER button on the Vision 100 rear panel -- to turn on the projector. The vacuum fluorescent display on the Vision 100 rear panel briefly displays “Starting Display.” 3. When the projector is ready for use, the fluorescent display indicates the active source, signal format (NTSC or PAL), input resolution, aspect ratio and output resolution; for example: 4.2 Adjusting the Picture Orientation By default, the Vision 100 is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the projector is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen and/or mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this: 1. Press MENU and enter the Service Menu passcode. 2. Select Service from the Main Menu. 3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu. 4. Select Installation from the Display Device menu. 5. Choose Floor/Rear, Ceiling/Front or Ceiling/Rear, to match the installation method. 4Operation Component SD NTSC 480i Anamorphic 720p Current SourceFormatInput Resolution Aspect RatioOutput Resolution You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu.

Operation 4-4 Vidikron Vision Model 100 Owner’s Operating Manual Main Menu The Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all projector functions. (The Calibration and Service menus are hidden and not accessible until you enter a passcode.) Input Source From the Main Menu, select Input Source to choose a video signal source. The active source is indicated by an arrow (➨) to its left; in the example at left, Composite is the active source. Aspect Ratio To change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for the type of program material being viewed; refer to Table 4-1. The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “7” to its left; in the example at right, Anamorphic is selected.

Operation 4-6 Vidikron Vision Model 100 Owner’s Operating Manual Picture Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your Vision 100 for optimum picture quality. The Vision 100 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician. All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input separately. Vidikron recommends calibrating the Vision 100 inputs in the following order: 1. Component SD 2. S-Video 1 / S-Video 2 3. Composite 4. HD/RGB 1 / HD/RGB 2 5. DVI 1 / DVI 2 Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for best results: External test pattern source -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation Multimedia test DVD or equivalent. A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments. Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here. Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE pattern. Figure 4-2. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness Picture Brightness Contrast Color Tint Sharpness ➤ When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for each input and resolution separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to ISF Presets on page 4-10. Note Below Black Above Black
