Adjusting the Color Mode

You may want to adjust the color mode to select a setting that is appropriate for the image you’re projecting and the environment in which you’re projecting it.

The following table lists the available color modes.

Color mode Description

When you turn off the projector, it stores the correction values obtained by the last Wall Shot measurements. This is useful if you’re projecting against the same surface and under the same conditions. To retrieve these corrections, just press the Wall Shot button again while projecting an image.

Projecting Images Without a Screen

Even if you don’t have a screen, you can project images onto surfaces like blackboards and colored walls without loss of image color. Your projector has a sensor that measures the conditions of the projection surface and automatically adjusts the colors and shading of your image.

Making Initial Color Corrections

 

Press the Wall Shot button on

 

either the remote control or the

 

projector’s control panel while

 

projecting an image.

 

Wall Shot’s status appears in the

 

upper right corner of your screen.

Wall Shot ON

Then you see a sequence of colors

 

flash for approximately five

 

seconds while the sensor measures

 

the conditions of the projection

 

surface and adjusts the image.

 

Note: If the status message indicates

that Wall Shot is off, press the Wall Shot button again to turn it on.

Shutting Down the Projector

When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure below to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible overheating.

Note: When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters sleep mode. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the P Power button.

You can turn off sleep mode using the Sleep Mode option in the Setting menu. If Standby Mode has been set to Network ON (in the Advanced1 menu), the lamp turns off but the projector does not go into full sleep mode. (It provides enough operation to allow network access.)

Follow these steps to turn off the projector:

1.Turn off any equipment plugged into the projector.

2.To turn off the projector, press the red P Power button on the projector or remote control.

You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.)
