Viewing video images (continued)

When you connect this projector and a DVI-Digital device (such as a DVD player) via the HDMI terminal or DVI-D (HDCP) terminal, black color may appear dark and deep, depending on the type of the connected device.

•This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are two kinds of methods to digitally transfer image data, in which different black level settings are employed respectively. Therefore, the speciﬁcations of the signals output from DVD players differ, depending on the type of the digital data transfer method they use.

•Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output digital signals. When your DVD player is provided with such function, set it as follows.

EXPAND or ENHANCED → NORMAL

• See the users guide of your DVD player for details.

•When your digital device does not have such function, adjust the BRIGHTNESS to +16 and CONTRAST to -17 in the IMAGE menu of this projector, or adjust the black color by viewing the image.
