Optimizing computer images

After your computer is connected properly and the computer’s image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen- eral information on using the menus, see page 30.

Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.

Change the Aspect Ratio. See page 31 for details.

Adjust the Color Space, Temperature or Control in the Advanced menu.

Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the Advanced menu.

Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later. See page 32.
