2. Selecting an application mode
The projector is preset with several predefined application modes so that you can choose one to suit your
operating environment and input source picture type. To select a operation mode that suits your need, press
MODE. The picture modes available for different types of signals are shown below.
PC/ DVI-A Signal Input
1.
Brightest Mode: 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.
2.
Presentation Mode (Default): Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this mode to
match PC and notebook coloring.
3.
Photo Mode: designed for viewing digital pictures in a living room.
4.
Gaming Mode: Is suitable for playing PC-based games in a bright living room.
5.
Video Mode: Is appropriate for playing movies, video clips from digital cameras or DVs through the PC
input for best viewing in a blackened (little light) environment.
DVI-D/ YPbPr/ S-Video/ Video Signal Input
1.
Home Theater Mode (Default): is slightly brighter than Cinema Mode, and suitable for use in rooms where
there is a small amount of ambient light.
2.

suitable for enjoying movies in a totally dark environment (as you would find in a commercial cinema).
3.
Gaming Mode: is suitable for playing video games in a bright living room.
4.
Photo Mode: designed for viewing digital pictures in a living room.
5.
Family Room: Brightness is emphasis in this mode and is best suited for use in rooms with normal lighting
levels. It is good for watching TV programs, playing games or seeing bright movies.

1. Adjusting brightness
To adjust the value, press
Left/
Right on remote control or projector.
The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower the setting, darker the image. Adjust this control so the
black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.
It is possible that you may see the center of the projected image is slightly brighter than the corners. This is a
normal behavior because the projector doesn’t carry brightness evenly throughout the image it projects, which
causes an uneven distribution of light output on the image you see.
