Advanced Picture Menu

You can adjust the gaps in color that have occurred after a long period of use.

Setting items Description

Auto Calibration Pre Check: Checks the color difference against the factory default settings, before calibration starts.

Notes

• Auto Calibration results in relatively coarse calibration. The color settings are not guaranteed to be the same as the factory default values.

• The colors are projected automatically while performing “Pre Check” or “Adjust.” A similar phenomenon may occur infrequently while the
power is off to adjust the unit. Both cases are not a malfunction.

• Do not turn off the power or operate the remote control or control panel during “Pre Check” or “Adjust,” as the process may be canceled.

Adjust: Performs Auto Calibration.
Before/After: Toggles the factory default settings and the setting after the calibration at a certain

frequency. You can check the effect of the calibration by monitoring the actual image.
Reset: Resets the calibration results, and returns to the factory default settings.

Tips

• dE is an indicator of changing color. The smaller the value of dE, the fewer the changes caused by the color.

• Perform the calibration after the power has been on for more than 30 minutes.

• It takes a few minutes for “Pre Check” or “Adjust” to complete.

• When “Pre Check” or “Adjust” starts, the screen position may shift as the lens returns to its factory default position. After completion, the
screen returns to its previous position automatically.

• If the environment, such as the brightness of the room, changes while performing “Pre Check” or “Adjust”, measurement may be affected.

• If the “Pre Check” or “Adjust” function fails, try it again.

Setting items Description

Picture Position
[POSITION]

You can store up to five combinations of lens settings, aspect ratio, and blanking.
After setting the lens, aspect, and blanking, select from “1.85:1,” “2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” or
“Custom 3” depending on the subtended screen angle, and after confirming, continue by selecting
“Save,” “Delete,” or “Select.”
Save: Stores the current lens settings (focus, window size, window position), aspect ratio, and blanking
in the selected position. If a setting is already stored in that position, it is overwritten.
Delete: Deletes the stored setting. After the setting is deleted, “1.85:1,” “2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom
2,” or “Custom 3” in the display change to “---.”
Select: Recalls the settings of the selected position.

Tips

• The optimal aspect ratio is preset for each picture position. The aspect ratio can be changed and saved
for each picture position.

• When saving the Picture Position, temporarily move the picture from the saving point down 5 cm or
more, then move the picture up again and save. This improves the precision of the Picture Position
when calling it.

About HDR (high dynamic range)

HDR is a video expression which improves the ability to
express dark places and bright places compared to
previous video expressions.

About the Simulated 3D Feature

• Use the simulated 3D function taking into account that
the picture will provide a different look from the original
images, because this function converts the video images.

• Note that if the unit is used for profit or for public
viewing, displaying 2D video images as 3D video
images by converting to the simulated 3D may constitute
an infringement of the rights of authors or producers,
which are legally protected.
