Go to the PICTURE > Color Temp. menu and press /.
The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type 
selected.
1.Cool: With the highest color temperature, Cool makes the image appear the most 
bluish white than other settings.
2.Neutral: Makes images appear bluish white.
3.Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4.Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.
*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be white for various purposes. One 
of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A 
white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a 
high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.
Setting a preferred color temperature
1. Go to the PICTURE > Color Temp. menu.
2. Press / to select Cool, Neutral, Normal or Warm and press Enter.
3. Press / to highlight the item you want to change and adjust the values by 
pressing /
.
•Red Gain/Green Gain/Blue Gain: Adjusts the contrast levels of Red, Green, 
and Blue.
•Red Offset/Green Offset/Blue Offset: Adjusts the brightness levels of Red, 
Green, and Blue.
This function is only available when a PC input signal is selected.
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 allow 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, TVs, 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. Open the OSD menu and go to the PICTURE > Advanced > Color Management 
menu.
2. Press Enter 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. 
						

							35
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 selected. 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 color you select will be affected. Every adjustment 
made will reflect to the image immediately. 
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.
8. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments.
9. Press Exit to exit and save the settings.

let the projector return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action 
taken on the blank screen. 
Once Blank is pressed, the projector enters Economic mode automatically.

Keys on the remote control are still functional when panel key lock is enabled.
If you press  Power to turn off the projector without disabling panel key lock, the projector 
will still be in locked status the next time it is turned on.
Creating your own startup screen
In addition to selecting the projector preset startup screen from among Black, Blue, or 
ViewSonic screen, you can make your own startup screen that is a picture projected from 
your computer or video source.
To create your own startup screen: 
1. Project the picture you want to use as your startup screen from either a computer or 
video source.
2. Open the OSD menu and go to the SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Screen Capture 
menu.
3. Press Enter.
4. A confirmation message displays. Press Enter again.
5. The message Screen Capturing... displays while the projector is processing the 
picture. Please wait.
6. If the action is successful, you see the message Captured Succeeded on the screen.  
The captured picture is saved as Screen Capture and have been set as your current 
startup screen.
In the unlikely event that the capturing action fails, change your target picture. When the 
resolution of the input signal is higher than the projector’s native display resolution (See 
Projector specifications on page 64 for details.), the capture action may fail. When it 
happens, please set the resolution of the input signal under native resolution and try again.
Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 
m–3000 m above sea level, and temperature is between 5°C–25°C.
CAUTION
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and temperature 
is between 5°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under 
such a condition.
To activate the High Altitude Mode:
1. Open the OSD menu and go to the SYSTEM 
SETTING: ADVANCED > High Altitude 
Mode menu.
2. Press / to select On. A confirmation 
message is displayed.
3. Highlight Yes and press Enter.
Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a 
higher decibel operating noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve 
overall system cooling and performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display 
auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. 
In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude Mode to solve these symptoms. 
However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or 
extreme conditions.
We recommend you use the High Altitude 
mode by selecting it whenever your 
environment is higher than 1500 m.

Using the CEC function
This projector supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function for synchronized 
power on/off operation via HDMI connection. That is, if a device that also supports CEC 
function is connected to the HDMI input of the projector, when the projector’s power is 
turned off, the power of the connected device will also be turned off automatically. When 
the power of the connected device is turned on, the projector’s power will be turned on 
automatically.
To turn on the CEC function:
1. Open the OSD menu and go to the SOURCE > Auto Power On > CEC menu.
2. Press / to select Enable.
In order for the CEC function to work properly, make sure that the device is correctly 
connected to the HDMI input of the projector via an HDMI cable, and its CEC function is turned 
on.
Depending on the connected device, the CEC function may not work.
Using the 3D functions
This projector features 3D function which enables you to enjoy 3D movies, videos, and 
sporting events in a more realistic way by presenting the depth of the images. You need to 
wear a pair of 3D glasses to view 3D images.
If the 3D signal is input from an HDMI 1.4a compatible device, the projector detects the 
signal for 3D Sync information and once detected, it projects images in 3D format 
automatically. In other cases, you may need to manually select a 3D Sync format for the 
projector to project 3D images correctly.
To select a 3D Sync format:
1. Press 3D on the remote control to access the 3D Settings menu or go to the 
SOURCE > 3D Settings menu.
2. Press Enter. The 3D Settings page is displayed.
3. Highlight 3D Sync and press Enter.
4. Press 
 to select a 3D Sync setting and then press Enter to confirm.
When the 3D Sync function is on:
• The brightness level of the projected image will decrease.
• The Color Mode cannot be adjusted.
• The Zoom function can only magnify the pictures to limited sizes.
If you discover the inversion of the 3D image depth, set the 3D Sync Invert function to “Invert” 
to correct the problem.
