The menus are grouped by usage: 

The Picture menu provides image adjustments. 
The Settings menu provides set-up type adjustments that are not changed often. 

The About menu provides a read-
only display of information about 
the projector and source.  
Certain menu items may be hidden 
until a particular source is 
connected. For example, Tint is 
only available for NTSC video 
sources and will be hidden when 
other sources are active. Other 

menu items may be grayed out when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed out until an 
image is active. 

 

Picture menu

 

To adjust the following five settings, highlight the setting,

, use the up and down arrows to adjust the

keypad.

between the lightest and darkest parts of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the 
image. 

Brightness

: changes the intensity of the image. You can also adjust brightness from the keypad. 

Color

: (video sources only) adjusts a video image from black and white to fully saturated color. 

Tint

: (NTSC video sources only) adjusts the red-green color balance in the image. 

Aspect Ratio

: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to 

image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 
4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. You can 
choose Native, 4:3, 16:9, Letterbox, or Natural Wide. The 
default is 16:9. The goal is to show the most detail on the 
screen while preserving the ratio of width to height. The native 
resolution of the projector is 1280x720. Use Native, 4:3 or 
Natural Wide for 4:3 input sources; use Native, 16:9 or 
Letterbox for 16:9 input. Pressing the 

Resize

 button on the 

remote cycles through these options.
