Using the preset and user modes
Selecting a preset mode
The projector is preset with several pre-defined picture modes so that you can choose one to suit your
operating environment and input source picture type.
To select a preset mode that suits your need:
1. Press
MENU/EXIT
and then press / until the
Picture
menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight
Preset Mode
.
3. Press / until your desired mode is selected.
These modes consist of preset values suitable for various projection situations as described below:
•
Cinema
: With well-balanced color saturation and contrast with a low brightness level, this is most
suitable for enjoying movies in a totally dark environment (as you would find in a commercial cinema).
•
Dynamic
: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is suitable for environments
where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the projector in well lit rooms.
•
Standard
: It is slightly brighter than
Cinema
mode, and suitable for use in rooms where there is a
small amount of ambient light.
•
3D
: It is optimized to bring up 3D effects when watching 3D contents.
This mode is only available when 3D function is enabled.
•
User 1
/
User 2
/
User 3
: Recalls the customized settings. See
"Setting the User 1/User 2/User 3
mode" on page 30
for details.
User 3 is only available when 3D mode is enabled.
Fine-tuning the selected picture mode
The pre-defined picture mode settings can be altered via the available items shown in the
Picture
menus.
To fine-tune the picture mode:
1. Press
MENU/EXIT
and then press / until the
Picture
menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight the item you want to adjust and press / to set your desired value. Your
selection is automatically stored in the projector and associated with that input source.
See
"Fine-tuning the picture quality" on page 31
and
"Advanced picture quality controls" on page 33
for details.
Each time you change the picture mode, the projector also changes the setting to the one which was last
set for that particular picture mode on that particular input. If you change the input source, the most
recently used picture mode and settings for that input and resolution will be restored.
Setting the User 1/User 2/User 3 mode

need. You can use one of the picture modes (except the selected User mode) as a starting point and
