To adjust the following settings, highlight the setting, use the right and left arrows 
to adjust the values.

Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV 
screens are usually 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9.

Select Auto to have the projector choose the ratio. Choose Native to see the 
unmodified input with no resizing by the projector. Select 16:9 to watch enhanced 
widescreen DVDs.

Auto Image: resets the projector to the source.

Brightness: changes the intensity of the image.

Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts 
of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the image.

Auto Keystone: automatically corrects distorted images resulting from an angled 
projection.

Keystone: adjusts the image vertically and makes a squarer image. You can also 
adjust keystone from the keypad.

Presets: Presets are provided that optimize the projector for displaying computer 
presentations and video images under certain conditions. Note: Users can save 
their settings as a User Preset.

Sharpness: This feature is not available on the SP1080.

Volume: increases or decreases the audio volume.

Ceiling Mount: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.
