Presets

: Presets are provided that optimize the projector for displaying 

computer presentations, photographs, film images, and video images. Film 
input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a movie; video 
input is material originally captured on a video camera, like a TV show or 
sporting event. You can use the preset as a starting point, then further cus-
tomize the settings for each source. The settings you customize are saved in 
the preset for each source. To restore the factory default settings, choose Fac-
tory Reset in the

 Settings>Service

 menu (page 35). 

There is also a user-definable preset. To set a preset for the current source, 
adjust the image, select Save User in the Presets menu, then select Yes. You 
can recall these settings in the future by selecting the User 1 preset.
