    The  basic  setups  that  describe  how  and  where  a  channel  can  be  accessed  are  listed  in  the 
    Channel  Setup  menu.  These  channel  setups  can  be  edited  at  any  time  in  the  Channel  Edit 
    submenu.
    Press  
    Menu from the presentation level to display the main menu. To display the  Channel Setup 
    menu,  press 
    3,  or  move  the  highlight  to  the  Channel  Setup  option  and  press .  The 
    Channel Setup  menu will appear.
    To  edit  parameters  shown  in  the  Channel  Setup  menu,  select  the  relevant  channel  and  press 
    . The Channel Edit menu will appear similar to the sample shown below.
    If desired, review and/or edit the following channel setups in the  Channel Edit menu:
    Channel  naMe:
    •  	An	alpha-numeric	 label	can	be	defined	 and/or	changed	 here.	Channel	
    names can be up to 12 characters in length.
    Channel  nUMbeR: 
    •  A 2-digit channel number can be changed here.
       noTes:  1) If  you  enter  a  channel  number  that  already  exists,  a  dialog  message  appears 
    indicating that this number is already in use  – assign a different channel number.  2) You can 
    define up to 50 channels.
      InPUT:
    •    1-8,  corresponding  to  where  on  the  projector’s  input  panel  the  source  is 
    connected.
    In  MenU:
    •  	If	 checked	 (default,	except	for	automatically	 defined	channels	 with	unchanged	
    parameters),	 this	defined	 channel	 will	then	 appear	 in	the	 list	available	 when	
    Channel  key  is 
    pressed.  If  unchecked,  the  channel  must  be  accessed  via Channel  on  the  keypad  or  via  the 
    Auto Source function.
      noTe:  Onscreen  display  of  the  channel  list  is  an  option  that  must  be  set  in  the  Menu 
    Preferences  menu.

    •    If  checked,  (default),  the  projector  can  automatically  locate  this  channel 
    when an incoming input signal matches. If not checked, the projector can locate the selected 
    channel only when it is directly selected via 
    Channel on the keypad — and a change in input 
    signal will  not result in a channel change.
    loCKeD:
    •    If  checked,  all  of  the  Picture  Adjustments  for  this  channel  are  disabled.  If 
    unchecked  (default),  all  available  Picture  Adjustments  can  be  adjusted  as  desired.  You 
    cannot use Quick Setup with a locked channel.

    •  Select  this  option  to  see  or  change  Channel  Edit  settings  for  the  next 
    channel in the  Channel Setup  list.
    The  most  commonly  used  options  for  image  adjustments  are  accessed  through  two  menus: 
    Geometry  and  Position  (
    Menu 1)  and Picture  Adjustments (Menu 2),  both  of  which 
    appear in the Main menu. From either of these two menus, you can change settings affecting the 
    image from the current channel by working with the appropriate slide bars, checkboxes and pull-
    down lists.   
    Exit  will return to the previous menu (or to the presentation, if from the Main menu) 
    and accept any changes you may have entered. Settings are saved with the\
     current channel.
    From your presentation, you can access any of the individual options in these menus by pressing 
    Menu  followed  by  the  appropriate  two-digit  number  representing  their  location  in  the  menu 
    system.  For  example,  press Menu 2 3  to  quickly  access  the  “Gamma”  option  in  the 
    Picture Adjustments menu.
    Note that for certain options, you may prefer to use a “direct key” from presentation level to go 
    directly  to  a  particular  option  without  traveling  through  the  menu  system  (available  for  certain 
    display parameters only). For example, press 
    Contrast  to access the “contrast” slide bar immediately. 
    Press Exit to return to your presentation.
    noTes:  1)  To  hide  these  “direct”  slide  bars,  disable  the  “Display  Slide  bars”  checkbox  in  the 
    Menu Preferences  menu. 2) To hide the entire menu system from view, turn off the on-screen 
    display by pressing 
    OSD  .
    Use QUICK seTUP (
    Quick
    Setup)
    For	 a	good	 and	efficient	 first	step	 in	perfecting	 the	image,	 press	Quick
    Setup. This initiates an automated 
    process in which the projector quickly optimizes critical display parameters such as size, position, 
    pixel  tracking,  etc.,  based  on  the  type  of  incoming  source  data  detected. An  Quick  Setup  can 
    save considerable setup time, and you can still modify the adjustments as desired using menu 
    options described below.

    In  the Geometry  and  Position  
    menu,  you  can  increase  or 
    decrease  the  size  of  your 
    image,  change  its  proportion 
    (aspect ratio), move the image 
    to	 a	specific	 area	of	the	 screen,	
    and	 refine	 other	related	
    parameters.  Use  Geometry 
    and Position controls to match 
    the  image  precisely  to  the 
    screen used at the site.
    Refer  to  “Using  Slidebars  and 
    Other  Controls”   (earlier  in  this 
    section) if you need help using any of the options and controls. Changes made in the  Geometry 
    and Position menu are applied immediately and are saved when you exit the menu (press

    Menu ).
    ResIze PReseTs
    noTe:  The  same  resize  presets  are  available  to  all  HD  and  HD2  widescreen  models.  Please 
    note however, the graphics used to describe each preset in this section are of the SXGA+ models 
    only. 
    Select a  Resize Presets option to quickly display an image in its native resolution or to automatically 
    resize	 an	image	 to	closely	 fill	the	 projector’s	 native	resolution	 or	to	optimize	 the	width	 or	height	
    of your display.  Size, Position and Blanking  parameters will automatically adjust accordingly or, 
    if	 Blanking	 is	set	 first,	 which	 defines	 an	Active	 Input	Area;	 Resize Preset scaling will occur in this 
    region of interest only. Resizing options are explained in detail below.
    Wha T Is The ResIzIng DefaUl T? By default when displaying a new source, your image will 
    utilize as much of the projector’s display area as possible for the type of incoming source data, 
    but with minimal or no changes to aspect ratio. See  Select “Default” on the following page.
    When  “CUsT oM” aPPeaRs:  The  “Custom”  re-size  descriptor  automatically  appears  in  the

    Select 
    •	 “DefaUlT”  for  most  sources  (factory  default).  The  image  will  be  centered  and 
    displayed as large as possible depending on the type of source.
    Select 
    •	 “no  ResIzIng ”  to  display  the  image  in  its  native  resolution,  which  may  or  may 
    not  match  the  projector’s  1400  x  1050  resolution.  For  example,  for  a  source  with  a  native 
    resolution of 800 x 600, “No Resizing” will use the central 800 x 600 pixels and have a black 
    border—the black border areas are unused areas. See below.
    Select 
    •	 “fUll sIze” to use all pixels (1400 x 1050) for displaying the image, regardless of 
    source or original aspect ratio. Incoming source material having a different aspect ratio than 
    the projector will be stretched for display.
    Select 
    •	 “FULL  WIDTH”	 to	fill	 the	 projector’s	 display	from	left-to-right	 without	changing	 the	
    original aspect ratio of the image. Depending on the source, data at the top and bottom may 
    be discarded (cropped), or the display may have black borders at the top and bottom (called 
    “Letter Box”).
    Select 
    •	 “fUll heIghT”	 to	fill	 the	 display	 from	top-to-bottom.	 Depending	on	the	 source,	 this	
    may	create	borders.•		
    Select

    image	will	fill	the	screen	from	side-to-side	and	be	centered.
    sIze
    “Size” controls both the image width and height in tandem, maintaining the current aspect ratio 
    (proportion) of the displayed signal data.
    VeRTICal sTReTCh
    “Vertical Stretch” adjusts the height of the image while keeping the width constant. Use “Vertical 
    Stretch” to change the aspect ratio of the display.
    PIxel TRaCK
    Steady	 flickering	 or	several	 soft	vertical	 stripes	or	bands	 across	 the	entire	 image	 indicates	 poor	
    pixel  tracking.  Proper  pixel  tracking  helps  ensure  that  the  image  quality  is  consistent  across 
    the  screen,  that  aspect  ratio  is  maintained,  and  that  pixel  phase  can  be  optimized  (described 
    below). Tracking determines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number 
    of incoming pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particula\
    r source are sampled.
    noTe: By default, the projector samples at the correct frequency for most sour\
    ces.
    For  best  results,  use  a  good  test  pattern  such  as  a  smooth  gray  consisting  of  a  clear  pattern 
    of  black  and  white  pixels,  or  a  similar  “half  on,  half  off”  graphic  image,  such  as  the  Windows 
    shutdown  screen. Adjust  the  slidebar  until  the  vertical  stripes  broaden  to  the  point  where  one 
    large	 stripe	 fills	the	image.	 If	the	 image	 still	exhibits	 some	shimmer	 or	noise,	 adjust	Pixel Phase 
    (next page).
    Section	3	►	Operation 
    						
    							3-22
    PIxel Phase
    noTe: Adjust “Pixel Phase” after “Pixel Tracking”.
    Adjust pixel phase when the image (usually from an RGB source) still shows shimmer or “noise” 
    after pixel tracking is optimized. Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative 
    to the incoming signal.
    For  best  results,  use  a  good  test  pattern  such  as  a  smooth  gray  consisting  of  a  clear  pattern 
    of  black  and  white  pixels,  or  a  similar  “half  on,  half  off”  graphic  image,  such  as  the Windows 
    shutdown	 screen.	Adjust	the	slidebar	 until	the	image	 stabilizes	 and	each	 pixel	is	clearly	 defined.	
    You	 may	 notice	 that	you	can	stabilize	 the	image	 at	more	 than	one	point	 —	i.e.,	 you	may	 find	that	
    the  image  appearance  at  “11”  is  identical  to  the  image  appearance  at  “38”,  thus  you  can  use 
    either setting.
    If some shimmer from a video or HDTV source persists, use the “Filter” control to remove high-
    frequency noise from the signal.  See Picture Adjustments.
    h-PosITIon
    This option moves the image right or left within the area of available p\
    ixels. 
    noTe:  The value shown represents where the approximate center of the image lies in relation 
    to the total number of pixels available horizontally. This varies widely according to the signal — 
    watch the image while adjusting.
    V-PosITIon
    This option moves the image up or down within the area of available pixe\

    aDV anCeD sIze anD PosITIon — sUbMenU
    This submenu consists of the following options:
    aCTIVe  InPUT  WInDoW:  This  read-only  value  indicates  the  current  size  (i.e.,  area)  of  your 
    displayed	 data	or	“region	 of	interest”	 as	defined	 by	the	 blanking	 controls.	 By	default,	 the	projector	
    automatically determines what portion of its full resolution to use, and pixels in the surrounding 
    borders	 are	turned	 off.	You	 can	also	 specify	 a	specific	 active	input	window	 size	by	adjusting	 one	
    or more “Blank” settings. For example, if you have blanked (cropped) 100 pixels from both the 
    left  and  right  edges  of  an  incoming  source  of  1400  x  1050,  the  remaining  active  input  window 
    will be reduced to 1200 x 1050. When using SD or HD or a decoded video source at  InPUT 3 or 
    InPUT 4,	the	default	blanking	of	“0”	
    defines

    Use  options  in  the Picture 
    Adjustments  menu  to  alter  your 
    image  without  affecting  its  size 
    or  position.  Changes  made  to 
    the  Picture  Adjustments  menu 
    are  applied  immediately  and  are 
    saved  when  you  exit  the  menu 
    (press  
    Exit  or Menu).  Options 
    not  available  for  the  projector 
    model or source are disabled and 
    appear dim (gray).
    ConTRasT
    (SHORT CUT: Press 
    Contrast and adjust the slide bar.)
    “Contrast” increases or decreases the perceived difference between light and dark areas of your 
    image (0-100). For best results, keep it under 50. If contrast is set too high, the light parts of the 
    image lose detail and clarity. If set too low, the light areas will not be as bright as they could be 
    and  the  overall  image  will  be  dim.  For  best  results,  start  with  a  low  value  and  increase  so  that 
    whites remain bright but are not distorted or tinted and that light areas do not become white (i.e., 
    are “crushed”).
    noTe:  If  the  environment  lighting  changes,  an  adjustment  of  Gamma  is  recommended  (see 
    below).
    bRIghTness
    (SHORT CUT: Press 
    Bright and adjust the slide bar.)
    “Brightness” increases or decreases the amount of black in the image (0-100). For best results, 
    keep close to 50. Start with a high value and decrease so that dark areas do not become black 
    (i.e., are “crushed”). Conversely, high brightness changes black to dark gray, causing washed-
    out images.
    gaMMa
    (SHORT CUT: Press 
    Gamma and adjust the slide bar.)
    “Gamma” is a global setting that determines what gray shades 
    are  displayed  between  minimum  input  (black)  and  maximum 
    input  (white)  for  all  signals.  A  good  gamma  setting  helps  to 
    optimize  blacks  and  whites  while  ensuring  smooth  transitions 
    for  the  “in-between”  values  utilized  in  other  colors.  Thus, 
    unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast” controls, the overall tone of 
    your  images  can  be  lightened  or  darkened  without  changing 
    the  extremes,  and  all  images  will  be  more  vibrant  while  still 
    showing good detail in dark areas. 
    Gamma	 is	used	 to	fine-tune	 the	gamma	 table	currently	 in	use,	 ranging	 from	1	–	3	(2.2	 =	default).	
    If	 excess	 ambient	 light	washes 	out	 the	image	 and	it	becomes 	difficult	 or	impossible	 to	see	
    details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will improve contrast while 
    maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with 
    excessive  detail  in  black  areas,  increase  the  setting.  In  high  ambient  light  conditions,  lower 
    gamma  may  produce  better  results  than  higher  gamma.  Gamma  of  2.6  (default)  indicates  the 
    gamma  table  has  not  been  adjusted.  For  more  information,  refer  to  Advanced  Image  Settings 
    submenu,  Gamma Table . Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details 
    for blacks.

    fIlTeR
    The	 proper	 filter	setting	 is	automatically	 set	for	virtually	 all	signals,	 and	rarely	
    needs	 to	be	 changed.	 It	applies	 a	low	 pass	 filter	for	noise	 reduction	 in	the	
    incoming input signal, particularly for HDTV or SDTV. Applied in the analog 
    domain	 before	sampling,	 this	filtering	 removes	 high	frequencies	 and	thus	
    reduces  pixel  phase  noise  (note  this  also  reduces  signal  bandwidth).  Override  only  if  standard 
    pixel  tracking  and  phase  adjustments  do  not  adequately  clear  up  a  “noisy”  video  signal,  or  if  a 
    graphics signal appears overly “soft”. Both instances indicate that “Filter” may be set to the wrong 
    option.
    DeT aIl
    “Detail”	 adjusts	the	sharpness	 of	a	video	 image	 so	that	 edges	 remain	 clearly	defined.	 It	can	 be	
    particularly	 useful	if	a	 significant	 “Noise	Reduction”	 adjustment	 has	caused	 the	image	 to	appear	
    too  soft. Adjust  until  the  display  is  as  sharp  as  desired,  keeping  in  mind  that  because  “Detail” 
    adds  some  high  frequencies  back  into  the  image,  it  can  also  re-introduce  a  certain  degree  of 
    noise.
    noIse ReDUCTIon
    “Noise Reduction” is similar to the “Filter” control, but operates in the post-sampling digital domain 
    with a more subtle effect. Higher settings are most useful for clearing up noisy RGB images such 
    as those from a PC. Adjust as desired, keeping in mind that reducing noise (which reduces high 
    frequencies) may also soften the image.
    ColoR sP aCe
    “Color  Space”  determines  how  the  color  components  of  an  analog  input 
    signal are decoded for accurate color in the display. Selecting a color space 
    option  is  useful  only  for  analog  signals  connected  to  InPUT  1,  InPUT  2, 
    InPUT  5  or  InPUT  6.  Although  color  space  for  these  analog  signals  is 
    automatically determined by the projector, in some circumstances you may 
    wish	to	override	this	and	manually	set	a	specific	color	space.
    noTe:  For digital signals or for signals connected to  InPUT 3 or InPUT 4 on the projector, the 
    color space function is entirely automatic and the pull-down list disabl\
    ed.
    The  current  color  space  appears  in  the  Picture  Adjustments  menu.  Press 
      to  select  a 
    different option:
    Select 
    •	 Rgb unless you are using component video at  InPUT 1, 2, 5 or 6.
    Select 
    •	 YPbPr (Video)	with	a	standard	definition	televised	signal	(SDTV)
    Select 
    •	 YPbPr (hDTV)	with	a	high	definition	televised	signal	(HDTV).
    noTe:  When  certain  RGB  signals  are  first  connected,  the  projector  may  not  initially  recognize 
    them as RGB and will incorrectly decode their color information as YPbPr (video). These signals 
    can include:
    RGB signals in NTSC, PAL, SECAM frequency ranges
    • 
    Scan-doubled sync-on-green
    • 
    Scan-quadrupled sync-on-green
    • 
    For	 these	 signals,	 change	the	Color	 Space	 to	RGB,	 and	then	 define	 a	new	 channel	 for	future	
    use.

    This  submenu  is  used  with  video  sources 
    only (InPUTs 3 or 4).
    aUT o  ColoR  leVel:  Auto  Color  Level 
    affects  decoded  video  images  only.  Enter 
    a  checkmark  (default)  in  most  instances  — 
    this  activates  the Auto  Color  Level  circuit  to 
    ensure  properly  bright  images.  Delete  the 
    checkmark  if  a  decoded  video  image  exhibits  strange  color  artifacts  such  as  stripes  in  highly 
    saturated colors, indicating an incompatibility between this source and \
    the Auto Color Level.
    VIDeo  sTanDa RD:  For  all  but  the  more  unusual  video  standards  available 
    in  the  world,  the  projector  automatically  detects  the  incoming  horizontal  and 
    vertical  frequencies  and  sets  the  projector’s  processing  of  this  signal  to  the 
    corresponding standard. The current video standard name appears in the  Video 
    Options submenu, and includes an “A” if it has been auto-detected. Press 
     
    to view or select a different video standard from those available to the projector—
    any that are disabled have frequency characteristics that differ from those of the 
    incoming 	signal. 	Selecting 	a 	specific 	standard 	forces 	the 	projector 	to 	process 	the	
    signal according to this standard.
    noTe:  Best  results  are  obtained  with  defined  channels.  Otherwise,  switching  from  one  video 
    source to another can sometimes cause slight disturbances in the display, indicating that the Auto 
    function is struggling. Recover by briefly selecting a different video standard, then going back.

    noTe:  Generally,  use  “Auto”  for  all  instances  EXCEPT:  1)  a  poor  quality  input  signal  or 2)  a 
    black-and-white  video  signal.  In  order  to  detect  and  display  such  signals,  select  the  relevant 
    standard from the list.
    InPUT  VIDeo  blaCK:  This  control 
    compensates  for  incoming  elevated 
    black  levels  present  in  certain  video 
    signals, and ensures that blacks in the 
    display are neither crushed (i.e., where dark grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (i.e., 
    where  blacks  appear  dark  gray).  By  default,  the  projector  automatically  determines  the  best 
    setting according to the type of incoming video signal:
     
    •  enhanCeD  0  IRe  –  Used  for  DVD  output  with  “enhanced  black”,  SECAM,  most  PAL 
    standards, and Japanese NTSC.
    Video 7.5 IRe
    •   – Used for most NTSC video signals.
    For  some  types  of  video,  you  can  override  the  setting.  The  control  is  disabled  for  other  types 
    of video (and all graphics sources). Generally, if black appears crushed when brightness = 50, 
    choose “Enhanced 0 IRE”. If black appears excessively elevated, us\
    e “Video 7.5 IRE”.

    ColoR:  This  slidebar  adjusts  the  Color  Temp Adjust  level,  i.e.  the amount  of  color  in  a  video 
    image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors — for example a setting of “0” produces a 
    black and white image. If the color level is too high, colors will be ov\
    erpowering and unrealistic.
    TInT: This  slidebar  adjusts  the  red/green  color  hue  for  true  color  reproduction  of  video  signals 
    connected  to  INPUT  3  or  4  of  the  projector.  For  best  results,  adjust  tint  while  displaying  an 
    external  color  bars  test  pattern  —  otherwise,  it  is  recommended  that  tint  remain  at  its  default 
    setting.
    ChRoMa  lUMa Dela Y: This control affects any incoming composite or S-video signal, delaying 
    the  luma  signal  (intensity)  in  relation  to  the  chroma  (color).  In  the  image,  increasing  the  luma 
    delay  will  move  luma  (seen  as  a  shadow  where  colors  overlap)  to  the  right  slightly,  with  colors 
    remaining in place. Decreasing this delay will move the shadow slightly to the left. If necessary 
    for your current source, adjust so that no shadows occur with adjacent c\
    olors.
    InPUT leVels — sUbMenU
    noTes: 1)  Because the projector automatically optimizes input levels for all but the most unusual 
    of  sources,  it  is  recommended 
    that only experienced users use 
    the  Input  Levels  submenu.  2) 
    Before  beginning,  check  that 
    overall  contrast  and  brightness 
    settings  are  near  50  and  that 
    color  temperature  is  properly 
    set  up  on  an  internal  grayscale 
    test pattern.  3) There must be at 
    least 2 consecutive white pixels 
    present  in  the  image  for  proper 
    “Auto  Input  Level”  function. 
    Leave this control off after use.
    Good  RGB  or  input  levels  —  that  is,  the  drives  and black  levels  for  each  of  the  three  colors, 
    red,  green  and  blue  —  ensure  that  images  from  analog  sources  other  than  decoded  video 
    have  maximum  contrast  without  crushing  black  or  white.  By  default  (and  in  a  “Quick  Setup”), 
    the  projector  automatically  determines  the  best  input  levels  by  monitoring  image  content  and 
    adjusting the controls appropriately — further adjustment is typically not required to obtain proper 
    blacks or whites. 
    noTe:  This automatic adjustment requires at least 6-12 consecutive white pixels in the image. 
    Without these pixels, input levels may produce skewed colors, particularl\
    y in nonvideo images.
    However,  for  a  very  unusual  source  exhibiting  one  or  more  overly  high  blacklevels  (typically 
    caused  by  a  noisy  source  causing  blacklevel  spikes),  an  experienced  user  may  prefer  to  use 
    the  Input Levels  menu (shown above). These adjustments, which together serve as a calibration 
    process  compensating  for  differences  in  sources  and  cabling,  enable  an  experienced  user  to 
    perfect the source image input levels and eliminate the “overshoot” and “undershoot”. Note that 
    Input  Levels  are  of  limited  use  with  digital  signals,  but  do  offer  some  ability  to  tweak  poorly 
    mastered source materials.
    noTes: 1) Input levels apply for the current source only, but for any color temperature used.  2) 
    Assuming  that  color  temperature  has  been  set  up  based  on  the  internal  test  patterns,  you  can 
    then set up input levels for a given source so that it matches the color temperature of the internal 
    test patterns.
