    Your projector has been factory optimized for   adjust Picture menu options 
    excellent performance no matter what the source.        including Aspect Ratio    
    However, if you wish to make further changes you  
    can optimize the image using on screen menus.    
    Adjust the Contrast, Brightness, Color, Tint, or Aspect Ratio 
    in the Picture menu. See page17 for help with the menus and these 
    adjustments. 
     
     
     
    For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players must be configured for 16:9 in order to view the 
    highest quality image. For more information regarding Aspect Ratio, see page 8. 
     
    Shutting down the projector 
     
    Power Save 
    The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active 
    sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By 
    default, this feature is on. See page 21. 
     
    Sleep Timer 
    The projector also has a sleep timer feature that automatically turns the projector off after four 
    hours. See page 21. 
     
    Turning off the projector 
    Press the Power button on the remote or keypad to turn the projector off. The lamp turns\
     off and 
    the LED blinks green for one minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. While the 
    LED is blinking green, the projector does not accept any user input. Once the cooling process is 
    complete, the LED lights solid green and you can turn the projector back on, if desired. 
     
    NOTE: Once the projector has been turned off, you must wait for one minute before turning the 
    projector on again. This allows the lamp to properly cool and extend the lamp life up to 3000 
    hours). The LED light is solid green when the cooling process is complete. 
     
    NOTE: The biggest cause of early lamp failure is not allowing the lamp to cool properly, either 
    from power failures or disconnecting power to the projector before the fan can cool the lamp 
    properly.  
     
    Troubleshooting your setup 
    If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it does not, troubleshoot 
    the setup. The LED on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can 
    help you troubleshoot. 
     
    The status indicator on the top of the projector can help you diagnose any problems the projector 
    is experiencing.

    of the colors. 6500K is generally used for film content 
    and 9300K is used for TV video. 
             Color Control 
    Color Control: allows you to individually adjust the       
    gain and offset of the red, green, and blue colors. 
    These advanced controls have the same effect as 
    contrast and brightness, but each controls a single color only. 
     
    Video Standard: when it is set to Auto, the projector  
    attempts to automatically pick the video standard based 
    on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options  Video Standard  
    may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the  
    projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the  
    colors may not look right or the image may appear “torn.”

    Sources: allows programming of source buttons,    Settings 
    enables autosource, and enables the SCART RGB   
    source. When Autosource is selected, the Source 
    Enable feature indicates which sources the projector  
    attempts to lock onto. You can use the Source Enable 
    feature to eliminate certain sources from this 
    search, which will speed the search. By default,  
    the check boxes for all sources are checked except 
    SCART RGB. Uncheck a source box to eliminate 
    it from the search.
