Selecting the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, 
which is the default for this projector, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
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.
To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
1. Press MENU and then press  /  until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.
2. Press
  to highlight Aspect Ratio.
3. Press  /  to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.
About the aspect ratio
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. OSD menus can be 
displayed on those unused black areas.
1.Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projectors native resolution 
in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is 
neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of the screen without 
altering the images aspect ratio.
2.Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit 
within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the 
projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could 
adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase 
the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after 
making these adjustments.
3.4:3: 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.
4.16:9: 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, as it displays them without aspect 
alteration.

Fine-tuning the image quality in user modes
According to the detected signal type, there are some user-definable functions available when User 1 or User 2 mode 
is selected. You can make adjustments to these functions based on your needs.
Adjusting Brightness
Highlight Brightness in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the projector or remote 
control.
The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower the setting, darker 
the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as 
black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.
Adjusting Contrast
Highlight Contrast in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by 
pressing / on the projector or remote control.
The higher the value, the greater the 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.
Adjusting Color
Highlight Color in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the projector or remote control.
Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, 
which makes the image unrealistic.
Adjusting Tint
Highlight Tint in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  / on the projector or remote control.
The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more greenish the picture 
becomes.
Adjusting Sharpness
Highlight Sharpness in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  /   on the projector or remote 
control.
The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the picture becomes.
Adjusting BrilliantColor™
Highlight BrilliantColor™ in the PICTURE menu and select by pressing  / on the projector or remote control.
This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to enable higher brightness 
while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone 
images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. 
If you prefer images with that quality, select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.
On is the default and recommended selection for this projector. When Off is selected, the Color Temperature 
function is not available.
Selecting a Color Temperature
Highlight Color Temperature in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  /  on the projector or 
remote control.
The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type selected.
1.T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish white than other settings.
2.T2: Makes images appear bluish white.
3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4.T4: Makes images appear reddish white.
*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be white for various purposes. One of the common methods 
of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears 
to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

3D Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or 
lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room. 
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, 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.
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need 
to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. 
These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with 
suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can 
independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.
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 3D 
Color Management menu to make adjustments.
To adjust the settings:
1. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
2. Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.
3. Highlight Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, or 
Yellow.
4. Press   to highlight Hue and press  /  to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted 
of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.
Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each 
other.
For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red in the 
projected picture will be selected. Increasing its range will include red close 
to yellow and red close to magenta.
5. Press   to highlight Saturation and adjust its values to your preference 
by pressing  / . Every adjustment made will reflect to the image 
immediately.
For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of 
pure red will be affected.
6. Press   to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by 
pressing  / . The contrast level of the primary color you select will be 
affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately. 
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.
8. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments.
9. Press MENU to exit and save the settings.
Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes 
that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
Using Wall Color
In the situation where you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which may not be white, the 
Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture’s color to prevent possible color difference between the 
source and projected pictures.
To use this function, go to the DISPLAY > Wall Color menu and press  /  to select a color which is the closest to 
the color of the projection surface. There are several recalibrated colors to choose from: Light Yellow, Pink, Light 
Green, Blue, and Blackboard.
