Features of the Projector

Colour mode function

Presentation

Blackboard

Living Room

Brightness Control

The following six preset colour modes are provided so that you can easily obtain the optimum images simply by selecting the image quality. In addition, if projecting onto blackboards rather than projection screens in places such as schools, you can select the "Blackboard" setting to allow images to be projected in their natural tints.

sp.43, p.51, p.53

• Dynamic • Presentation • Theatre

• Living Room • sRGBg • Blackboard

The brightness of the lamp can be set to one of two settings. Fine and clear images can be obtained even in a bright room like a conference room and a classroom. If projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen and the images are too bright, change the setting to "Low". Merit of "Low"

• Reduction in power consumption of approximately 20%

• Reduction in operating noise of approximately 17%

• Approximately 1.5 times longer lamp life

sp.59

Automatic keystone correction function

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. sp.37

Features of the Projector

Easy to Operate

The accessory remote control can be used to carry out operations such as pausing projection (Freeze function sp.47), zooming in on important parts of images (E-Zoom function sp.48) and pointing out important parts of images using a pointer icon (Pointer function sp.49).

In addition, the remote control can be used to mov e the pointer around on the computer screen during projection (see "Wireless Mouse Function"

sp.20).

Passw ord protect function assists administration and theft prevention

Password protection function allows you to limit using and changing the settings of the projector. This means that the projector cannot be used if it is taken without authorisation, and thus serves as a theft-prevention feature.
