Using the preset and user modes

Selecting a preset mode

The projector is preset with several pre-defined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your
operating environment and input source picture type.
To select a picture mode that suits your need:
• Using the remote control
1. Press PRESET MODE repeatedly or USER 1, USER 2/ISF
NIGHT, USER 3/ISF DAY, DEFAULT on the remote control, or
PRESET MODE on the projector repeatedly until your desired
mode is selected.
• Using the OSD menu
1. Press MENU and then press / until the Picture -- Basic menu
is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Preset Mode.
3. Press / until your desired mode is selected.
These modes consist of preset values suitable for various projection
situations as described below:
• Cinema: With well-balanced color saturation and contrast with a
low brightness level, this is most suitable for enjoying movies in a totally dark environment (as you
would find in a commercial cinema).
• Dynamic: 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.
• Standard: It is slightly brighter than Cinema mode, and suitable for use in rooms where there is a
small amount of ambient light.
• User 1/User 2/User 3: Recalls the customized settings. See "Setting the User 1/User 2/User 3
mode" on page 27 for details.

Fine-tuning the selected picture mode

The pre-defined picture mode settings can be altered via the available items shown in the Picture --
Basic and Picture -- Advanced menus.
To fine-tune the picture mode:
1. Press MENU and then press / until the Picture -- Basic or Picture -- Advanced menu is
highlighted.
2. Press to highlight the item you want to adjust and press / to set your desired value. Your
selection is automatically stored in the projector and associated with that input source.
See "Fine-tuning the picture quality" on page 28 and "Advanced picture quality controls" on page 29
for details.
Each time you change the picture mode, the projector also changes the setting to the one which was last
set for that particular picture mode on that particular input. If you change the input source, the most
recently used picture mode and settings for that input and resolution will be restored.
