When HDTV   images 
are projected, the 
images appear in 16:9 
size.

Input signals will be 
projected at the same 
width as the projectors 
panel resolution. Black bands will 
appear at the left and 
right of the images.Input signals will be 
projected at the same 
height as the projectors 
panel resolution.Input signals will be 
projected at the same height 
as the projectors panel 
resolution. At this time, the 
image enlargement ratio 
will be smaller near the 
middle of the images but 
become larger towards the 
left and right edges of the 
images.
This is useful for when 4:3 
images are projected onto a wide 
screen. Because there is almost no 
distortion due to enlargement in 
the middle of the images, the 
images appear close to what they 
would be at their original size. 
And because both ends of the 
images are enlarged, movement at 
the edges of the images appears 
faster and gives an impression of 
greater speed, making it ideal for 
viewing sporting events.
*Wide cannot be selected if 
keystone correction has been 
carried out.
When 4:3 images are 
projected, the top and 
bottom of the images 
will be truncated.
When images with 
subtitles are projected 
and the subtitles are 
truncated, use the 
Zoom Caption menu 
command to adjust.
      p.29When 4:3 images are 
projected, the images 
will be elongated 
horizontally.
To project images so that they fill the whole of the 
screen, use the zoom adjustment or adjust the 
distance between projector and screen.

Advanced Colour Adjustments
If you would like to create your own images with settings adjusted the way you want them, you can 
adjust Skin Tone, Abs. Color Temp., RGB/RGBCMY and/or Gamma in the Color 
Adjustment sub-menu of the Picture menu. (When sRGB
 is not selected in Color Mode.)
The adjustment values can be stored in the memory so that you can retrieve them and apply them to the 
projected images at any time. (  p.24)
Skin Tone, Abs.Color Temp. and Gamma are adjusted using the respective remote control 
buttons.

Adjusting from the gamma 
correction values
From among the gamma correction values [2.0], 
[2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4], select one that suits the 
connected equipment, or one of your own liking, 
using             or       , and press       or       to confirm 
the selection.
Observe the gamma graph to check the result of the 
adjustment. 
Lower values will increase the contrast   of the dark 
portions but will tend to blur the bright portions. 
This is indicated by bulging in the upper portion in 
the gamma graph.
Higher values will darken the bright portions. This 
is indicated by bulging in the lower portion in the 
gamma graph.
* If you press     , the menu disappears.Press          on the remote control or
            on the projectors control 
panel to make the adjustment.

temperature adjustment
Gamma adjustment
Differences between equipment may result in a 
slight variation in the colouring when images are 
projected, and you may want to adjust this. 
(Projection will stop temporarily during such 
adjustment.) There are two methods of doing so. 
One is to select one of the gamma correction values 
[2.0], [2.1], [2.2], [2.3], [2.4]. The other is 
customized adjustment, which is done with 
reference to the projected image or a gamma graph. 
The gamma graphs horizontal axis represents the 
input signal level and its vertical axis the output 
signal level.

Tone setting to make the adjustment.
If set to the + side, the colours become greenish, and if set to the – side, the colours become reddish.
You can adjust the overall tint of images.
If you select a higher value, images appear bluish, and if you select a lower value, images appear reddish.

If High-band Enhancement is set in the + 
direction, hair and the detailed areas of clothing 
will be emphasized.
If Low-band Enhancement is set in the + 
direction, the areas emphasized by High-band 
Enhancement will be hardly emphasized. Instead, 
the rough areas of the entire subject, such as 
contour and background, will be emphasized, 
resulting in a sharp image. 
(You can adjust High-band Enhancement and 
Low-band Enhancement at the same time by 
using the bar on the top in the screen.)
Setting H-Sharpness / V-Sharpness to the + 
side will enhance the image sharpness in the 
horizontal / vertical direction. Setting them to the - 
side will give a soft image.
The amount of light will be automatically adjusted 
to the brightness of the image, creating a picture 
with depth and perspective.

These settings can be adjusted if the output level from the connected equipment is weak and the images
appear dark. The two settings cannot be made simultaneously. You can only select one of them to be
adjusted.
These adjust the dark and light areas of images
• White Level: Adjusts the brightness of bright shades without changing the black level.
When the setting is changed to the - side, bright areas become clearer.
• Black Level: Adjusts the brightness of dark shades without changing the white level. 
When the setting is changed to the + side, dark areas become clearer.
Adjusts the overall brightness of the images.
• Brightness: The brightness of the images can be adjusted. 
If projecting in dark rooms or onto small screens and the images appear too bright,
decrease the setting.
• Contrast: Adjusts the difference between bright and dark areas. 
When the contrast is increased, images with greater modulation are obtained.
This adjusts the colour intensity for the images.
(Adjustment is only possible when composite video
  and S-Video  signals in NTSC  format are being
