    Switching input signal
    The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only 
    display one full screen at a time. 
    Be sure the Quick Auto Search function in the SOURCE menu is On if you want the 
    projector to automatically search for the signals.
    You can also manually select the desired signal by 
    pressing one of the source selection keys on the 
    remote control, or cycle through the available input 
    signals.
    1. Press SOURCE on the projector or remote 
    control. A source selection bar is displayed. 
    2. Press  /  until your desired signal is 
    selected and press MODE/ENTER on the 
    projector or Enter on the remote control.

    will be displayed on the screen for seconds. If 
    there are multiple devices connected to the 
    projector, repeat steps 1-2 to search for another 
    signal.
    • The brightness level of the projected image will 
    change accordingly when you switch between 
    different input signals. Data (graphic) "PC" 
    presentations using mostly static images are 
    generally brighter than "Video" using mostly 
    moving images (movies).
    • The input signal type effects the options available 
    for the Color Mode. See"Selecting a picture 
    mode" on page 32 for details.
    • Please see "Projector specifications" on page 64
    for the native display resolution of this projector. 
    For best display picture results, you should select 
    and use an input signal which outputs at this 
    resolution. Any other resolutions will be scaled by 
    the projector depending upon the 'aspect ratio' 
    setting, which may cause some image distortion 
    or loss of picture clarity. See "Selecting the aspect 
    ratio" on page 30 for details.

    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, 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):
    • Using the remote control
    1. Press Aspect to show the current setting.
    2. Press Aspect repeatedly to select an aspect ratio to suit the!format of the video signal 
    and your display requirements.
    • Using the OSD menu
    1. Press MENU/EXIT on the projector or Menu on the remote control 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 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.
    Color Management
    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.
    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 Color Management menu to make adjustments.
    To adjust the settings:
    1. Go to the DISPLAY menu and highlight Color Management.
    2. Press MODE/ENTER on the projector or Enter on the remote control and the Color
    Management page is displayed.
    3. Highlight Primary Color and press  /  to select a color from among Red, Yellow, 
    Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.
    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.
    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.
    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/EXIT on the projector or Exit on the remote control to exit and save the 
    settings.
