    The Vision Model 50 has six memory settings for Color Temperature. Four of these settings 
    are factory set to default as follows:
     0 -- Original lamp color temperature
     1 -- 5400 kelvins
     2 -- 6500 kelvins
     3 -- 8500 kelvins
     4 -- Custom
     5 -- Custom
    Custom 4 and 5 memory are installer-adjustable and can be used to create custom settings. 
    There are nine adjustable “white balance” parameters available for the Custom 4 and 5 
    settings (three each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this section; 
    refer to “Service.”
    NOTE: You must enter a passcode in order to enter the Service menu. 
    Choose  Color Select  from the Picture Adjust menu to select the color space that is 
    appropriate for the source signal, to achieve optimal color balance.
    If you select NTSC, HDT V or PAL, you can make further adjustments to individual color 
    characteristics in the  ICC Adjust sub-menu under the  Service menu, described later in 
    this section. ( The Standard color select is factory-set and not adjustable.)

    • Anamorphic
    The image is compressed ver tically, 
    but anamorphic software will appear 
    properly  propor tioned. This  is  best 
    suited for use with 16:9 DVDs and HDT V 
    programming.
    • Standard (4/3)
    The input signal is scaled to fit in the 
    center of the 16:9 screen. • Letterbox
    The  image  in  the  Letter box  mode  is 
    stretched vertically, and the top and bottom 
    portion ‘blanked off ’. This ratio is best suited 
    for LaserDisc movies or non-anamorphic 
    DVDs.
    • IntelliWide
    A 4:3 image is transformed into a 16x9 
    image.

     SD EnhanceThe SD Enhance menu gives you options for improving 
    the quality of standard-definition, 480i images. (For 
    480p and higher-definition images, the controls in 
    this menu are disabled.) Keep in mind that these 
    controls add frequencies that are not present in the 
    original signal, and may make images appear “noisy” 
    if misused. 
    H Enhance/V Enhance:  These controls can improve 
    the apparent horizontal and/or vertical resolution 
    of the image. 
    C (Chroma) Enhance: This control adds chroma (color 
    information) to the input signal and can make colors 
    appear more vibrant and saturated. 
    H Threshold/V Threshold/C Threshold:  Set these to +11 or higher to activate the 
    enhancement controls described above. Generally, the higher the threshold, the more 
    noticeable the enhancements you make will be. 
    The Video  Filter   setting  controls  the  behavior  of  the  Sharpness  control. The 
    available settings depend on the ver tical resolution of the input signal, as follows: 
    • With a 480i signal , you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1), 
    the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0).
    • With a 480p or higher-resolution signal,  the sharpness control is applied only to the 
    output signal and only when you set the Sharpness filter to “on” (1).

    to run the lamp as bright as possible (250W; this is the default setting) or you can choose

    but decreases brightness. 
    Lamp Hours  indicates how long the currently-installed lamp has been in service. ( This
