Resizing Video Images

You can use the Resize button on the remote control to adjust how an image fits into the display area.

For video images, press Resize to switch the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9, (and Normal for computer images). This lets you play certain digital video images or movies recorded on certain DVDs in 16:9 widescreen format.

For computer images, resizing is normally unnecessary, since the projector automatically resizes the image to make the best use of the display area. If you press the Resize button on the projector or remote control, the projector displays the image at the output resolution of the computer (which makes the image larger or smaller, depending on its resolution). If the resolution of the image is the same as the projector’s (1024 ⋅ 768), pressing Resize has no effect.

Adjusting the Color Mode

You can use the Color Mode button on the remote control to adjust the color, brightness, and other aspects of your image.

Press the button repeatedly to select from the following settings:

Photo: For vivid, high-contrast still images in a bright room.

Sports (video, S-video, or composite video only): For vivid TV images projected in a bright room.

Presentation: For computer presentations (the default when projecting from a computer with analog video).

Theatre: For optimizing movie images with increased contrast.

Game: For increased brightness when playing video games or watching TV in a bright room. Emphasizes dark gradations.

sRGB: For matching the color palette of standard sRGB computer displays

Blackboard: For projecting accurate colors on a green chalkboard (adjusts the white point).

Customized: For manual color adjustment. (See page 46).
