DETAIL CONTROLS
The VP250SE offers an advanced Detail circuit. The
control works provides optimum picture detail without
introducing “ringing” artifacts for both horizontal and ver-
tical edges. This is very helpful with low quality sources
such as VHS tapes. Also, even high quality sources
such as DVDs and Satelite can have excessive detail
enhancement recorded in the movie this can be seen as
white halos along dark edges. The detail controls can
be reduced, to limit the visibility of the halos.
To adjust the different controls simply press the up/down
button associated with the parameter to be adjusted.
Presets – Once the levels have been adjusted for the best
image they can be stored as one of four presets. There
are four present for each input source, i.e. four for Video,
four for S-Video, etc.
To store, first adjust the image then press the Store button.
The next preset button pushed, will store those settings.
The preset will automatically be recalled the next time that
input is selected.
The Factory Preset button recalls all settings to SMPTE
reference standards. When aligning the projector for the
first time, the VP250SE should be in the factory preset.
Using an external test pattern from a DVD, laserdisc or
pattern generator, adjust the brightness and contrast using
the projector’s controls. Then adjust Color, Tint, and Detail
using the controls on the VP250SE. Once completed,
store the settings in one of the presets.
To store presets using the On-Screen-Display (OSD) with
the infrared remote, first adjust the setting for the best
image possible, then use the Function key to scroll down
to the Store function. Use the Value key to select which
preset to store the information. The information will be
stored either when the Function button is touched again
or when the OSD times off (after approx. 10 seconds).
Select the different presets by pressing the Preset button
on the remote.
OSD Off – The OSD can be turned on and off by
pressing the Factory button and the Preset 1 button
at the same time.
Detail – This control adjusts the amount of large and
small edge details. The level should be set where
there is the maximum amount of edge detail without
excessive “ringing” and harshness. For most
sources, this should be left in the preset setting.
Store – Press this button to activate the store func-
tion. The next preset pressed will store the current
settings.
Factory – The Factory Presets are set to broadcast
industry standards. And can be used as a reference
or to reset levels if they get misaligned.
Presets – This control stores all picture adjustments
in a nonvolatile memory. There is a separate bank of
four presets for each input, that are automatically
recalled when the input is selected.
Value Adjust – This rocker switch adjusts the value
of each function. Pressing the top portion increases
the level, pressing the bottom portion reduces the
level.
IR Window – Receives the information from the
remote control. Do not block this sensor.
However, for the most part, the settings should be left in
the preset setting. If the detail level must be turned way up
to see details, there is a good chance there are other fac-
tors involved, such as the projector becoming out of focus
poor cable quality. Contact the dealer for assistance
