Choosing the Color Mode

You can change the Color Mode to automatically adjust brightness, contrast, and color, letting you quickly optimize the projected image for various lighting environments. You can also select a different color mode for each input source—which is useful if you view different types of images from different sources. (For example, you might set the S-Video source to Living Room if it’s usually used for watching movies with the curtains closed, and set the Video source to Dynamic for playing video games in the daytime with them open.)

Select the image source you want to adjust, then press the Color Mode control. Choose from these settings:

■Dynamic for projecting images with vivid color in brightly lit rooms.

■Living Room for projecting images with vivid color under ordinary room lighting.

■ Theatre Black 1 or 2 for projecting in completely dark rooms. Theatre Black 1 projects in cool, clear tones; Theatre Black 2 projects in a warmer tone.

■sRGB for projecting computer images that conform to the sRGB color standard.

When you select the Natural, Theatre, or sRGB Color Mode setting, the built-in Epson Cinema Filter automatically increases the contrast and naturalizes projected skin tones.
