Input Source Selected

Image Setting Menu

After your input source is selected, you can adjust the Image Settings menu. To access the Image Settings menu:

Press Setting on the remote control.
Use the Up/Down buttons to select a menu.
Then use the Left/Right buttons to enter the sub-menu(s) and/or adjust the settings.
Press the Return button to go to the previous menu or exit.

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. Movie Appropriate for colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras, or DVs through the PC input. Best for low-light environments. TV-HDR Appropriate for television with HDR. Movie-HDR Appropriate for movies with HDR. Low Blue Light Block high-energy blue light for a more comfortable viewing experience.
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.
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.
Light Source Level	Select the suitable power consumption of the LED. Full 100% power consumption Eco 70% power consumption
Test Pattern	Test the color presentation of the projector.
Reset Current Color Settings	Return current color settings to their default values.

Advanced Settings Menu

After your input source is selected, you can adjust the Advanced menu. To access the Advanced menu:

Press Setting on the remote control.
Press the Right button to access the Advanced menu.
Use the Up/Down buttons to select a menu.
Then use the Left/Right buttons to enter the sub-menu(s) and/or adjust the settings.
Press the Return button to go to the previous menu or exit.

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.
HDR	Auto Automatically detect the dynamic range of the input source and optimize gamma and color settings. SDR Manually set image settings to Standard Dynamic Range rather than High Dynamic Range (HDR).
EOTF	The projector can automatically adjust the brightness levels of your image according to the input source. Normally, the default setting Mid is recommended. If the brightness of the projected image is dark, please use Low. When giving priority to gradation property, please use High.
Frame Interpolation	Smooths the picture quality of high speed moving objects. This is especially for users who enjoy fast paced sporting events.
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.
Audio Settings	Adjust the audio settings.
Information	Shows Input Source, Resolution, and HDR status.
