Picture modes for different types of signals

The picture modes available for different types of signals are listed below.

A slight variation in the picture brightness and colors may be observed during the very short time of switching picture modes.

PC/DVI-A/DVI-D Signal Input

1.Brightest mode (Default): Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the projector in well lit rooms.

2.Presentation mode: Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this mode to match PC and notebook coloring.

3.Photo mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing PC graphic and drawing applications such as AutoCAD.

4.Cinema mode: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light) environment.

5.User 1/User 2 mode: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available picture modes. See "Setting the User 1/User 2 mode" on page 34 for details.

YPbPr/S-Video/Video/HDCP Signal Input

1.Brightest mode: Is suitable for playing gamebox-based video games in a normal living room lighting level environment.

2.Standard mode (Default): Is appropriate for viewing colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras or DVs.

3.Cinema mode: Is suitable for enjoying dark movies or DVD movies best viewed in a blackened (little light) home cinema or lounge room environment.

4.User 1/User 2 mode: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available picture modes. See "Setting the User 1/User 2 mode" on page 34 for details.
