Positioning the projector
There are a number a factors to consider when determining where to set up
the projector, including the size and shape of your screen, the location of
your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of
your equipment. Here are some general guidelines.
1
Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source. To
ensure adequate cable access, place the projector at least 6 inches
(0.15m) from a wall or other objects. Place the projector at least 5.6 feet
(1.7 m) from the projection screen.
If you install the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide
that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn
the image upside down, see page 14. DreamVision recommends use of
an authorized DreamVision ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately, see page 11.
2
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image.
For more information about projected image sizes, see page 12.
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 133%.
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will
be 3.3’ above the center of the lens.
Check Page 34 for further help.

tuned for either film, video, Bright Room, or PC input. (Film input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a movie; video input is material originally ccaptured on a video camera, like a TV show or sporting
event.) White Peaking inccreases the brightness of whites that are near
100%.
NOTE: Your viewing preferences may vary. Cycle through the gamma

Advanced settings
The following 4 options are for commputer of HDTV sources only
Phase: adjust the phase of the video signal’s digital conversion.
Tracking : Adjust the frequency of the video signal’s digital conversion.
Horizontal / Vertical position : Adjust the position of the source.
TrueLife : This option refers to Faroudja’s TrueLife processing of the image.
All standard definition interlaced video signals (composite, S-video and
component) are routed through this processor. Extended and High Definition progressive component sources are not routed though this processor by
default. You can turn TrueLife on to route these signals through the processor and then adjust the following 3 options:
Chroma Detail : This adjusts the color sharpness.
Luma Detail : This adjusts the sharpness.
Chroma Delay : aligns the Luma and Chroma Detail
CCS : (Cross Color Suppression) processes the signal to remove any color
information from the luma portion of the signal. It is On for all composite
signals, Off for all component signals, and can be turned on or off for all
S-video signals.
Film Mode : controls deinterlacing. 2:2/3:2 Enable If selected, the deinter-
lacer attempt to perform 3:2 pulldown, assuming the source was originally
created on 24fps film. If the original source is 30fps film, you should select
NTSC 2/2 pulldown.
Noise Reduction : adjusts signal noise reduction. Choose Off to have no
noise reduction, choose Auto to have the software determine the amount of
noise reduction, or choose Manual and adjust the Level.
Skintone Bypass prevents the noise reduction processing from being
applied to skin tones. Images of people often look better with less processing. Available when Auto or Manual are selected.

Color Space : This option applies to computer and HDTV sources (it won’t
appear in the menu for video sources). It allows you to select a color space
that has been specifically tuned for the video input. When Auto is selected,
the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different
setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose
REC709 for component 1080i or 720p sources, or choose REC601 for component 480p or 576p sources.
Color Temperature : changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed
value.
Color Control : allows you to individually adjust the gain (relative warmth
of the color) and the offset (the amount of black in the color) of the red,
green, and blue colors.
Video Standard : When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the
video standard automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The
video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.)
If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not
look right or the image may appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select
a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.
