Selecting a preset mode
The projector is preset with several pre-defined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your 
operating environment and input source picture type.
To select a picture mode that suits your need:
•  Using the remote control
Press PRESET MODE on the projector or MODE on the remote control 
repeatedly until your desired mode is selected.

and then press  /  until the Picture -- Basic menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Picture Mode.
3. Press  /  until your desired mode is selected.
These modes consist of preset values suitable for various projection 
situations as described below:
•  Cinema: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from 
digital cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a 
blackened (little light) environment.
•  Dynamic: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for environments 
where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the projector in well lit rooms.
•  Presentation: Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this mode to match PC 
and notebook coloring.
•  sRGB: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images regardless of brightness 
setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an sRGB compatible and properly calibrated 
camera, and for viewing PC graphic and drawing applications such as AutoCAD.
•  User 1/User 2: Recalls the customized settings. See "Setting the User 1/User 2 mode" on page 28 for 
details.

and Picture -- Advanced menus.
To fine-tune the picture mode:

selection is automatically stored in the projector and associated with that input source.

details.
Each time you change the picture mode, the projector also changes the setting to the one which was last set 
for that particular picture mode on that particular input. If you change the input source, the most recently 
used picture mode and settings for that input and resolution will be restored.
