Using the On-Screen Menus
The projector has seven drop-down menus that allow you to make 
image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these 
adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad.
Note: Some menu items may be grayed out at certain times. This 
indicates that the item is not applicable to your setup (for 
example, video standards do not apply to computer sources) 
or the item is not enabled until another selection is made (for 
example, Manual Tracking is not available until Auto Image 
is turned off).
To open the on-screen menus, press the  button on the keypad or 
remote. This changes the volume, source, and standby buttons on the 
keypad to menu navigation buttons. Press the corresponding buttons 
to move the cursor up, down, left, or right, or use the disk mouse on 
the remote. To select a menu, move the cursor left and right to 
highlight the menu you want. The drop-down menu appears.
To change a menu setting, use the up and down navigation buttons on 
the keypad or the disk mouse on the remote control to move the 
cursor up and down to the item you want to change (the selected item 
is highlighted red), then use the left and right navigation buttons to 
adjust a setting.

Image Menu

Auto Image
Note: Some screen savers interfere with the operation of Auto 
Image. If you’re experiencing problems, try turning your 
screen saver off, then turning Auto Image off and back on.
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchronization 
and vertical and horizontal position for most computers (Auto Image 
does not apply to video sources). If you want to adjust these features 
manually, you must turn off 
Auto Image first by highlighting Auto 
Image in the Image menu and clicking either the left or right 
navigation button to select “off”.
Auto Resize
Auto Resize automatically resizes the image by scaling it up. It only 
affects computer images that are not the projector’s native resolution.
When 
Auto Resize is on, the projector makes the best fit of the image to 
the screen. If you turn 
Auto Resize off (by highlighting it in the Image 
menu and clicking the left or right navigation button to select “off”), 
the image may be either cropped or too small for the screen.

The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video signal 
from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly spaced,

narrow for the screen, try turning 
Auto Image off then back on again. If 
the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking manually:
Note:Manual Tracking option is available only for computer 
sources. The projector sets this option automatically for a 
video source.
 1. Turn Auto Image off.
 2. Highlight Manual tracking, then press the left or right navigation 
button repeatedly until the fuzzy vertical bars are gone.

 2. Highlight Horizontal position, then press the left navigator button 
to move the image right or press the right navigator button to

Video Standard
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the 
video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, or 
SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The 
video standard options may vary depending on your region of the 
world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the 
colors might not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this 
happens, manually select a standard by clicking either the left or right 
navigation button and cycling through the standards.
Note: If you already know the video standard used in your 
geographical area, it’s best to manually select it.
