Changing the Projected Image		22

You can change the projected image in the following two ways.

•Changing by Source Search

The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment is projected.

•Changing directly to the target image

You can use the Remote Control buttons to change to the target input port.

Changing the Projected Image		23

When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

q The following screen showing the status of image signals is displayed when only the image that the projector is currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the input port where the equipment you want to use is connected. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.

Example: EB-W10/X10

Switch to the target image by Remote Control

You can change directly to the target image by pressing the following buttons on the Remote Control.

AChanges to images from the Computer input port.

BEach time the button is pressed, the image cycles through the Video, S- Video, and HDMI (EB-W10/X10 only) input ports.

CEach time the button is pressed, the image changes between USB Display and Slideshow (EB-W10/X10 only).

Functions for Enhancing Projection		24

Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Color

Mode)

You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected.

		Mode	Application
	Dynamic		Ideal for use in a bright room. This is the brightest
			mode, and reproduces shadow tones well.
	Presentation		Ideal for making presentations using color materials
			in a bright room.
	Theatre		Ideal for watching films in a dark room. Gives
			images a natural tone.
	Photo*1		Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in
			a bright room. The images are vivid and brought
			into contrast.
	Sports*2		Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright
			room. The images are vivid and brought to life.
	sRGBg		Ideal for images that conform to the sRGB color
			standard.
	Blackboard		Even if you are projecting onto a Blackboard
			(greenboard), this setting gives your images a
			natural tint, just like when projecting onto a screen.
	Whiteboard		Ideal for making presentations using the whiteboard.

*1 Selectable only when RGB signal is input or the Source is set to USB Display or USB (EB-W10/X10 only).

*2 Selectable only when component video, S-video, or composite video images are input.

Procedure

Remote Control

Each time you press the button, the Color Mode name is displayed on the screen and the Color Mode changes.

If you press the button while the Color Mode name is displayed on the screen, it changes to the next Color Mode.

Body

Each time you press the button, or open/close the lens cover A/V Mute turns on or off.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

q	• If you use this function when projecting moving images, the images
	and sound continue	to be	played back by the source, and you
	cannot return to the	point	where A/V Mute was activated.

•When activated from the remote control, you can choose to display Black, Blue, or Logo as the A/V Mute display using the Extended - Display - A/V Mute setting from the Configuration menu.

s p.53

•When the A/V mute slide is closed for approximately 30 minutes, Lens Cover Timer activates and the power is automatically turned off. If you do not want Lens Cover Timer to activate, change the

Lens Cover Timer setting to Off from Operation in the Extended menu. s p.53

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When Freeze is activated on moving images, the frozen image continues to project on the screen, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the Freeze function is activated beforehand.

Procedure

Remote Control

26

q • Audio does not stop.

•The image source continues to play back the moving images even while the screen is frozen, and so it is not possible to resume

projection from the point where it was paused.

•If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the Configuration Menu or a Help screen is displayed, the menu or Help screen being displayed is cleared.

•Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.
