• Color Management
In most installation situations, color management is not

necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room
situations where lights remain on, or where building external
windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels,
such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should
color management be considered. Color management provides
fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color
reproduction.

Proper color management can be achieved under controlled and
reproducible viewing conditions. Use a colorimeter (color light
meter) and provide a set of suitable source images to measure
color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the
projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to
give guidances or send an experienced professional installer for
you.

The Color Management function provides six sets
(RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. You can select any of them
to adjust its color range and saturation.

Aspect Ratio

The native display resolution of this projector is in a 16:9 aspect
ratio. However, you may use this function to display projected
picture in a different aspect ratio.

• Auto

Scales a picture proportionally to fit the projector’s native
resolution in its horizontal or vertical width. This makes the
most use of the screen and maintains the aspect ratio of a
picture.

• 4:3

Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen
with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

• 16:9

Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen
with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

• Wide

Stretches a picture in a horizontal direction to fit the screen
width. It does not alter the height of a picture.

• Letter Box

Scales a picture to fit the projector’s native resolution in its
horizontal width and resizes the picture height to the 3/4 of the
projection width. This makes a picture greater than the screen
height. The top and bottom edges of the displayed picture are
cropped. This suits the contents which are produced in letter
box format (with black bars on the top and bottom).

*About caption
An on-screen display of the dialogue, narration, and sound

(usually marked as “CC” in TV listings).

• Caption Version

Select a preferred closed captioning mode. To view captions,
select CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4 (CC1 displays captions in the
primary language in your area).

The mode is for operation in areas like high altitude or high
temperature environments. Activate the function when your
environment is between 1500 m–3000 m above sea level and
ambient temperature is between 0°C–30°C.

Do not use this function if your altitude is between 0 m and
1500 m and ambient temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. If

you turn on the mode under such a condition, the projector
will be over cooled.

Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a higher
decibel operating noise level because of increased fan speed
necessary to improve overall system cooling and performance.

If you use this projector under other extreme conditions
excluding the above, it may display auto shut-down symptoms,
which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating.
In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude Mode to
solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this
projector can operate under any and all harsh or extreme
conditions.

Maintenance

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is
to keep the lens clean.

Never remove any parts of the projector. Contact your dealer if other parts need replacing.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.

• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens
cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile
solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to
the projector surface and cabinet material.

Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels
can damage the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning
solution. Do not attempt to clean the lens while the projector is switched on or is still hot from
previous use.
