the images. You need to wear a pair of 3D glasses to view the 3D images.
The default setting is Auto and the projector automatically chooses an
appropriate 3D format when detecting 3D contents. If the projector cannot
recognize the 3D format, choose a 3D mode.
When you discover the inversion of the image depth, enable this function to
correct the problem.

FunctionDescription
The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you
can choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal picture
type.
• Presentation: Suitable for using in a bright room and projecting images
with a lot of text.
• Standard mode: Suitable for projecting computer screens or colorful
images (movies), etc.
• sRGB mode: Suitable for projecting photos from a digital camera that
supports sRGB. Compatible with the sRGB standard.
• Movie mode: Suitable for projecting colorful images (movies).

Contrast
• DICOM mode: Suitable for projecting medical images (movies). This
projector is not the display monitor for a medical image. It cannot be used
for the radiological image reading or medical examination.
• User 1/User 2: You can save image quality settings that you have made as
a custom setting. You can then select the saved settings as an image
mode.
There are 2 user-definable modes if the current available picture modes are
not suitable for your need. User 1 (Presentation mode based) is for PC
sources, and User 2 (Standard mode based) is for Video sources.
1. Go to PICTURE > Image Mode.
2. Press / to select User 1 or User 2.
3. Press to select the sub-menu items you want to change and adjust
the values with / . The adjustments define the selected user mode.
The higher the value, the brighter the image. Adjust this control so the black
areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is
visible.
The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white
level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your
selected input and viewing environment.

Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors
on the image will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.
The higher the value, the more greenish the picture becomes. The lower the
value, the more reddish the picture becomes.
The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes.

projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images
with that quality, select On. If you do not need it, select Off.
On is the default and recommended selection for this projector. When Off is
selected, Color Temperature and 6-axis Color Adjust are not available.
The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the

3. Low: The image becomes tinted with red. (warm colors).
*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for
various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color
is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color
temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color
temperature appears to have more blue in it.
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be
adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its
range and saturation according to your preference.
• Select Color: Selects a color from among Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan,
Blue, or Magenta.
• Hue: Increase in the range will include
colors consisted of more proportions of
its two adjacent colors. Please refer to
the illustration for how the colors relate to
each other.
For example, if you select Red and set its
range at 0, only pure red in the projected
picture will be selected. Increasing its
range will include red close to yellow and
red close to magenta.
46 Menu operation
• Saturation: Adjusts the values to your
preference. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image
immediately.
• Brightness: Adjusts the values to your preference. The brightness
level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment
made will reflect to the image immediately.
Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings
produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the
image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering
and unrealistic.

Care of the projector
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Please be sure to turn off the
projector and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens.
• Blow away dust and dirt from the lens lightly with a blower. And wipe off the dirt with a soft
cloth. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents.
• 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.
