Optimizing computer images

After your computer is connected properly and the computer’s image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen- eral information on using the menus, see page 35.

Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu (page 36).

Change the Aspect Ratio. Choose the option that best fits your input source (page 36).

Adjust the Color Temperature in the Advanced menu (page 38).

Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the Advanced menu (page 38).

Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later (page 37).

Presentation features

Several features are provided to make giving presentations easier. Here is an overview, details are found in the menu section.

The Effect button on the optional remote allows you to assign various features to the button. The default effect is About, which displays infor- mation about the projector and current source. You can select among Blank, Mute, Aspect Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, and About. See page 40 for details. The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is useful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audience seeing them. The Mask effect allows you to cover part of the image with a black curtain.

The Blank button on the optional remote allows you to display a blank screen instead of the active source. You can determine the color of this screen (page 40).

The Startup Logo option lets you change the default start up screen to a blank or default screen (page 40).

Two options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to automati- cally shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or dis- play a black screen. This helps preserve lamp life (page 39).
