Using the On-Screen Menus

The projector

 

has six drop-down menus that allow you to make 

image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these 
adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad. 

NOTE: Some menu items may be 

grayed out at certain times. This 

indicates the item is not applicable 

to your setup (for example, video 

standards do not apply to com-

puter sources) or the item is not 

enabled until another selection is 

made (for example, Manual Track-

ing is not available until Auto 

Image is turned off).

To open the on-screen menus, press the 

menu

 

button on the 

keypad. This changes the volume, source, and standby buttons 
on the keypad to menu navigation buttons (and illuminates the 
keypad green). Press the corresponding buttons to move the 
cursor up, down, left, or right. To select a menu, move the cursor 
left and right to highlight the menu you want. The drop-down 
menu appears.

Drop-down menu

To change a menu setting, use the up and down arrow keys on 
the keypad to move the cursor up and down to the item you want 
to change (the selected item is highlighted red), then use the left 
and right mouse buttons (not the left and right arrow buttons) to 
adjust a setting. Some submenus, such as Brightness, consist of a 
slider bar you use to increase or decrease a value; some sub-
menus, such as Standby Time, consist of options you scroll 
through to select the desired one. All changes are saved when 
you close the menus.

To access another menu, use the left and right arrow buttons to 
move left or right to another menu.
