OPERATION

Contrast

(SHORT CUT: Press

Enter and adjust the slidebar.)

"Contrast" increases or decreases the perceived difference between light and dark areas of your image (0-100). If contrast is set too high, the light parts of the image lose detail and clarity. If set too low, the light areas will not be as bright as they could be and it may be difficult to distinguish between foreground and background information. Adjust so that whites remain bright but not dis- torted or tinted. For best results, keep close to 50.

NOTE: If environment lighting changes, it may be necessary to re-adjust both options.

Brightness

(SHORT CUT: Press

Bright

and adjust the slidebar.)

"Brightness" increases or decreases the amount of perceived light in the dark part of the image (0-100). If video or data is displayed with a black background, adjust until the background just changes from black to very dark gray. For best results, keep close to 50.

Sharpness

(SHORT CUT: Press Detail and adjust the slidebar.)

“Detail” adjusts the sharpness of the video image. Use or until the display is as sharp as possible, keeping in mind that any level of detail above 3 (default) will increase the level of detail as well as introduce some level of noise in the image. Set below 3 to filter the signal and remove noise from a noisy source. Keep at 3 to apply no detail. NOTE: DETAIL is not available in the RGB mode.

Signal Type

This option determines how the color components of an input signal are decoded for accurate color in the display. Selecting a color balance option is useful only for analog signals connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2. Although the color space for such a signal is automatically determined by the projector, in some circumstances you may wish to override this and manually set a different color space.

NOTE: For digital signals or for signals connected to INPUT 3 or INPUT 4, the color space function is entirely automatic and the pull-down list disabled.

The current color space appears in the Image Adjustments menu. Press option:
