Image Setting Menu

Menu Option Description
Color Mode The projector is preset with several predefined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your operating environment and input signal.

Brightest
Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, i.e. well-lit rooms.

TV
Optimized for viewing sports in well-lit environments.

Gaming
Designed for playing video games.

Movie
Appropriate for colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras, or DVs through the PC input. Best for low-light environments.

User 1/User 2
Recalls the customized user settings.

Brightness The higher the value, the brighter the image. Lower values will result in a darker image.
Contrast Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment.
Color Temp Select the color temperature setting.
  • 6500K: Maintains normal white coloring.
  • 7500K: A higher, cooler color temperature than 6500K.
  • 9300K: The highest color temperature; makes the image appear the most bluish-white.
  • User Color: Adjust red, green, and blue values as desired.
Tint The higher the value, the more greenish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more reddish the picture becomes.
Saturation Refers to the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; in fact, a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
Sharpness A high value results in a sharper picture; a low value softens the picture.
Gamma Reflects the relationship between input source and picture brightness.
Color Management Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as: boardrooms, lecture halls, or home theaters should Color Management be considered.

Color Management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

If you have purchased a test disc, which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc., you can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the Color Management menu to make adjustments.

Reset Current Color Settings Return current color settings to their default values.

Advanced Settings Menu

Menu Option Description
Aspect Ratio The Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices, like this projector, can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.
NOTE: Only supports HDMI signal input.

Auto
Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector’s native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make the most use of the screen without altering the image’s aspect ratio.

4:3
Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV, and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

16:9
Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV.

HDMI Settings Range

Select a suitable color range according to the color range setting of the connected output device.

  • Full: Sets the color range from 0~255.
  • Limited: Sets the color range from 15~235.
  • Auto: Sets the projector to detect the range of the input signal automatically.
3D Settings Enables you to enjoy 3D movies, videos, and sporting events in a more realistic way by presenting the depth of the images while wearing 3D glasses.

3D Format
Adjust and choose from: Automatic, Off, Frame Sequential, Frame Packing, Top-Bottom, Side-by-Side.

3D Sync Invert
Allows for correction if the 3D image depth is inversed.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.

Custom design antennas may be used, however the OEM installer must following the FCC 15.21 requirements and verify if new FCC approval will be necessary.

General Safety Precautions

  • During normal operation, warm air and a slight odor may come from the ventilation.
  • When using the projector, avoid direct exposure to the projector’s exhaust vent.
  • Keep the remote control or loose batteries away from children or pets.

Installation

  • Follow the manufacturer's recommended installation guidelines to ensure safe and optimal operation.
  • Leave at least 50 cm (20 in.) of open space around the projector to ensure proper ventilation.
  • Place the projector in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the projector that prevents heat dissipation.
  • Do not place any heavy objects on the projector or cables.
  • Do not place the projector in an unstable location. The projector may fall, resulting in injury or damage.
  • Do not stand the projector upright. The projector may fall, resulting in injury or damage.
  • Do not use the projector near open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces.
  • Do not use the projector near water or in humid conditions and avoid exposing it to rain or moisture.
  • Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
  • Always route and manage cables connected to your projector to prevent tripping, pulling, or grabbing.
  • The projector is designed to operate at 120/240V AC. Unstable voltages can harm the projector. Use a power stabilizer, surge protector, or UPS in areas with frequent power cuts or surges.

Power Cord Safety

  • Do not compress the power cord, particularly at the plug and at the point where it connects to the projector.
  • Do not use the projector if the power cord or plug is damaged.
  • The power cord is designed with a grounding prong to ensure safe operation. Do not remove or damage the grounding prong.
