Optimizing video images
Your projector has been factory optimized for very good performance no matter what the source. However, if you wish to make further changes you can optimize the image using onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 16.
•Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture menu (page 17).
•Select a Sharpness setting (page 18 ).
•Use the Color Control to adjust the color gain and offset (page 19).
•Adjust the Color Temperature. Select a listed value (page 19).
•Turn on Overscan to remove noise on the edges of the video image (page 19).
•Change the Aspect ratio (page17). Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9 (the projector’s default). Choose the option that best fits your input source in the menus, or press the Resize button on the remote to cycle through the options. See page15.
•Select a specific Color Space. See page 19.
•Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See page 19.
•Make sure your DVD player is set for a 16:9 television. See your DVD player’s user’s guide for instructions.
