■Brightness
Image Æ Brightness
Note: This setting cannot be adjusted when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.
Adjust the brightness so it’s suitable for your viewing conditions. For example, if you’re projecting in a brightly lit room or onto an especially large screen, you may need to increase the brightness. Decrease the brightness for dark rooms or small screens; this also reduces power consumption and fan noise, and helps to prolong the life of the lamp.
■Contrast
Image Æ Contrast
Note: This setting cannot be adjusted when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.
This setting adjusts the difference between bright and dark areas.
■Auto Iris
Image Æ Auto Iris
Note: This setting cannot be adjusted when Color Mode is set to x.v. Color.
When this setting is on, the amount of light produced by the lamp is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the image. The setting is stored separately for each image source and color mode.
■Setup Level
Signal Æ Setup Level
This setting adjusts the threshold at which dark areas of the image are rendered black (0 IRE). For compatibility with most DVD and video equipment sold in the United States, leave this setting at 0%. Check your video equipment’s specifications to be sure of the correct setting.
■EPSON Super White
Signal Æ EPSON Super White
Note: This setting can be used only when the Color Mode is set to Natural, Theatre, Theatre Black 1, or Theatre Black 2 (see page 29).
If bright parts of the image are washed out or overexposed (when the input signal contains values over 100 IRE), turn this setting on to compensate. When this setting is turned on, the projector disregards the HDMI Video Range setting.
