    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.

    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/USB-C 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.

    16:10
    Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:10 aspect.

    2.35:1
    The image is displayed in the center of the screen with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

    Anamorphic
    Scales a 2.35:1 aspect image so that it fills the screen.

    Native
    Projects the image as its original resolution and resizes it to fit within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will be displayed in its original size.

    HDR The projector supports HDR imaging. It can automatically detect the dynamic range of the source from the HDMI port, and optimize settings to reproduce contents under a wide range of light conditions.
    EOTF Automatically adjusts the brightness levels of your image according to the input source. You can also manually select a brightness level to display better picture quality.
    NOTE: This function is not available when SDR is selected in the HDR menu.
    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.

    Harmon/Kardon Adjust the audio settings.
    Information Shows Input Source and Resolution.
