Adjusting the Brightness

The brightness of an image depends on the source you are projecting and the amount of light in the room. If the image is too bright or not bright enough, here are two ways you can adjust it:

Change the Brightness setting in the Image menu. See page 49.

Select Low or High for the Brightness Control option in the Advanced menu. (See page 54.) Low brightness mode extends the life of the lamp and decreases the fan noise.

Adjusting the Color Mode

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

If you’re projecting computer or RGB video images, the default color mode is Presentation, which is appropriate for presentations in bright rooms. For other images, the default color mode is Dynamic, which optimizes video images using natural colors.

The following table lists the 6 color modes available.
