up a “User” temperature with settings from a permanent factory preset:
1. Select the “User” color temperature you wish to update at the top of the Color
Temperature Setup menu, such as “User 2”.
2. From the “Copy From” list, select the matching temperature labeled “Factory”
(such as “Factory 5400K”). These are the calibrated color temperatures set at
manufacture—they remain intact for the life of the projector.
3. The setups for the “User” color temperature you selected at the top of the
Color Temperature Setup menu will now be updated/replaced by those for the
permanent factory calibrated temperature you selected in the “Copy From”
list. Again, a “User” temperature can be altered at any time, if desired.
Video Options
Not applicable with graphics sources.
VIDEO STANDARD —
The projector
automatically detects the video standard
present and displays the name of this
standard here. Press
to view or
select a different video standard from a
complete list available to the projector
(some will appear disabled, depending on the current incoming signal). Selecting a
specific standard forces the projector to process the signal according to this standard.
NOTE: This option should remain set at “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.
INPUT VIDEO BLACK —
This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels–
called “setup”–that are present in certain video signals, and ensures that blacks on
screen are neither crushed (i.e., with dark gray appearing black) nor excessively
elevated (i.e., with black appearing dark gray). By default, the projector automatically
determines the correct setting according to the type of incoming video signal:
•
0 IRE
– For DVD output with “enhanced black”, SECAM, most PAL
standards, and Japanese NTSC.
•
7.5 IRE
– 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 “0 IRE”. If black appears excessively elevated, use “7.5 IRE”.
VCR –
This control determines to what degree the projector tolerates signal
disturbances. The correct setting is automatically determined and set according to the
type of incoming source signal–for instance, there should be a checkmark for all
VCR sources. The VCR option may require a change from its auto setting in very
rare circumstances only, such as if you are having difficulty switching between two
unusual and almost identical VGA computer sources. Otherwise, it is not necessary
to change this option.
