•Direct switching (EB-W6 only)

Switch by pressing the button for the target input port on the remote control.

Switching by Automatic Detection of Input Signal (Source Search)

You can project the target image quickly because the [Source Search] button skips input ports where no image is being input.

You can switch directly to the targeted source by pressing a button on the remote control.

Refer to the following for button operation. s p.11

Functions for Enhancing Projection	19

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
Game	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.
Text	Ideal for making presentations using black-and-
	white materials in a bright room.
Theater	Ideal for watching films in a dark room. This gives
	images a natural tone.
Photo*1	Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a
	bright room. This makes images vivid and brings
	them into contrast.
Sports*2	Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright room.
	This makes images vivid and brings them 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.

*1 Selectable only with the following signal inputs.

Computer, HDMI Digital-RGB (EB-W6 only), USB Display, Slideshow (EB-W6 only)

*2 Selectable only with the following signal inputs.

Each time you press the button, or the A/V mute slide is opened or closed, 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.

•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 in the configuration menu. s p.44

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

23

q	• Audio does not stop.
	• The image source continues to play back the moving
	images even while the screen is frozen, 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.

Changing the Aspect Ratio

When you connect video equipment and project images that have been recorded in digital video or onto DVDs in 16:9 wide-screen format, change the aspect ratiog. Changing the aspect ratio is also required when you want to project computer images at full size.

Switching methods and types of aspect ratio are as follows.
