*About color temperatures: 
There are many different shades that are cons idered to be white for various purposes. One  of the common methods of representing white co lor is known as the “color temperature”. A  white color with a low color temperature appear s to be reddish white. A white color with a  high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.
Color Management
Only in permanent installations with controlled  lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture  theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allo w for more accurate color reproduction, should  you require it. 
If you have purchased a test disc which contains  various color test patterns and can be used  to test the color presentation on monitors, TV s, projectors, etc., you can project any image  from the disc on the screen and enter the  Color Management menu to make adjustments. 
To adjust the settings: 
1. Go to the  DISPLAY menu and highlight Color Management. 
2. Press  MODE/ENTER on the projector or Enter on the remote control and the Color  
Management  page is displayed. 
3. Highlight  Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from among Red, Yellow,  
Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta. 
4. Press  to highlight  Hue and press  /  to select its range. Increase in the range  
will include colors consisted of more  proportions of its two adjacent colors. 
Please refer to the illustration to the right for  
how the colors relate to each other. 
For example, if you select Red and set its  
range at 0, only pure red in the projected 
picture will be select ed. Increasing its range  
will include red close to yellow and red close 
to magenta.
5. Press  to highlight  Saturation and adjust  
its values to your preference by pressing  / 
. Every adjustment made will reflect to the  
image immediately. 
For example, if you select Red and set its  
value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.
Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less  saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that  color from the image entirely. If the saturation  is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
6. Press  to highlight  Gain and adjust its values to your preference by pressing  / 
. The contrast level of the primary colo r you select will be affected. Every  
adjustment made will reflect  to the image immediately.  
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.
