: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting.

Color Space

: This option applies to computer and component video sources (it won’t appear in the menu for S-video or composite video sources). It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the video input. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709, or

REC601 for component video sources.

Color Temperature

: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed value, or select User and individually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue colors.

Video Standard

: When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image may appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.

Overscan

: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image.

The following 4 options are for computer sources only.

Phase

: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source.

Tracking

: adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source.

Horizontal/Vertical Position

: adjusts the position of a computer source.

Audio

: allows adjustments to the sound Balance between speakers and speaker Volume. The Internal speakers and projector startup Chime can be turned on or off by placing or removing a check in the respective checkboxes.

Sources>Power-up Source:

this determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up.

Sources

: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key as an optional full-featured remote. Also allows selection of a default Powerup Source and enables or disables Autosource. When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked,

Power-up Source determines which source the projector defaults to at power-up. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or until power down.

System>Rear:

reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen.

Ceiling

: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.

NOTE

: It is recommended that all final image adjustments in Ceiling mode are made once the unit has fully warmed up.

Auto Power

: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically goes into the startup state after the projector is powered on. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch.

Display Messages

: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or

“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Low Power

: toggles between on and off. Turn it on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter.

Power Save

: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed.

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.

2

Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

3

Turn the projector upside down and remove the lamp door by removing the two screws and sliding the lamp door tabs out of the three tab bays.

CAUTION

: Never operate the projector with the lamp door removed.
