Adjusting the Brightness
The brightness of an image depends on the source you are
projecting and the amount of light in the room. If the image is
too bright or not bright enough, here are two ways you can
adjust it:
❏ Change the
Brightness setting in the Image menu.
❏ Select
Low or High for the Brightness Control option in
the Settings menu. Low brightness mode extends the life of
the lamp and decreases the fan noise.
Selecting the Color Mode
You may want to adjust
the color mode to select a
different setting that is
appropriate for the image
you’re projecting and the
environment in which
you’re projecting it.
If you’re projecting computer or RGB video images, the default
color mode is
Presentation, which is appropriate for
presentations in bright rooms.
The following table lists the color modes available.
To change the color mode, press the
Color Mode button on
the remote control until you see the mode you want. The
currently selected setting appears in the upper right corner of
the screen. You can also use the projector menu system to
change the color mode in the Image menu.
Adjusting the Volume
You can use the buttons on the remote control or projector to
increase or decrease the volume for both the projector’s built-in
speaker and external speakers connected to the projector. Press
the button to increase the volume, or the button to
decrease it. A volume gauge appears on the screen while the
volume is being adjusted.
Note
:
You can also adjust the volume using the projector’s Settings menu.
Selecting the Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio is the ratio between an image’s width and its
height. Standard images have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and HDTV
images usually have an aspect ratio of 16:9. If your video source
is 16:9, you can change the aspect ratio to view the video in
16:9 wide-screen format.
Note:
You must be projecting component, composite, or S-Video images to
change the aspect ratio. You can also change the aspect ratio using
the projector’s Signal menu. See the User’s Guide for details.
Press the
Resize button
on the remote control to
change the aspect ratio.
