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
Photo	(When computer images are input)
	Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a
	bright room. The images are vivid and brought into
	contrast.
Sports	(When component video, S-video, or composite
	video images are input)
	Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright room.
	The images are vivid and brought to life.
Presentation	Ideal for giving presentations in a bright room.

	(greenboard), this setting gives your images a natural
	tint, just like when projecting onto a screen.

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, the colour mode name is displayed on the screen and the colour mode changes.

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

q The colour mode can also be set using "Color Mode" in the "Image" menu from the configuration menu. s p.29

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)

You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are changing between files during presentations from a computer.

Procedure

Remote control

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

• If you use this function when projecting moving images, q 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.

•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.33

15

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to project, 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

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

q	• Audio does not stop.
	• The image source continues to playback 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.

When making adjustments for two or more projectors using the remote control, you can operate them individually by setting individual screen IDs for each projector.

2.Making image corrections

After the projectors are setup, you can adjust the image for each projector.

Using Image Correction you can adjust from black to white in five stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each level 1 to 5 you can adjust the following two points.

•Adjusting brightness

Adjust each image by levels 1 to 5 so that they are all equal.

•Adjusting colour

Adjust each image by levels 1 to 5 so that the colours match using "Color Correct. (G/R)" and "Color Correct. (B/Y)".

Setting Screen ID

For instance, after setting one projector as screen ID3, when you press button [3] while holding down the [Num] button, even if there is more than one projector setup, you can operate just the one set as screen ID3.
