26 Using the projector Image optimization Making adjustments Use the projector SETUP and IMAGE menus to adjust the to settings settings to fine-tune your projected image. Your projector factory-default settings are designed to configure it with your computer and video sources automatically to provide a high-quality projected image. Because of operational differences between the projector and computer and video sources, you may want to make minor setting adjustments to optimize your displayed image. After connecting your projector to the desired source and turning on your equipment, view a test image on your computer monitor that typifies what you want to display for presentation purposes. Eliminating phase bars Examine the projected image for evenly spaced “vertical noise” or “phase” bars. Use the PHASE option to eliminate them: 1 From the projector control panel or remote control, press the IMAGE menu key. 2 Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections and highlight PHASE on the on-screen menu display. 3 Use the left arrow (<) or right arrow (>) key on the cursor pad to eliminate the phase bars. Try both arrow keys and select the one that reduces the number of “phase bars” on the screen (by spacing the bars farther apart from one another). Continue pressing the same arrow key until you remove all phase bars from the screen. (You may still notice horizontal noise or jittering on the screen; see the following for correction.)

Eliminating Examine the projected image for horizontal noise bars or horizontal noise jittering around text or icons. Use the SHARPNESS option to eliminate them: 1 From the projector control panel or remote control, press the IMAGE menu key. 2 Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections and highlight SHARPNESS on the on-screen menu display. 3 Use the left (<) or right arrow (>) key on the cursor pad to eliminate the horizontal noise bars. Adjust the SHARPNESS setting until the horizontal noise bars or jittering disappears. Correcting loss of Examine the projected image to evaluate the proper level picture detail of brightness and image depth. Use the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST options to correct the loss of picture detail: 1 From the projector control panel or remote control, press the IMAGE menu key. 2 Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections and highlight, alternately, the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST options on the on-screen menu display. 3 Use the left (<) or right (>) arrow key on the cursor pad to adjust brightness and contrast. The correct combination of brightness and contrast provides a bright image with cor- rect gray tones on computer images and does not obscure details in video images. Using the projector 27

True-to-life color Examine the projected image for true-to-life color rendition. rendition Use the TINT option to make the adjustments: 1 From the projector control panel or remote control, press the IMAGE menu key. 2 Using the cursor pad, scroll through the menu selections and highlight TINT on the on-screen menu display. 3 Use the left (<) and right (>) arrow keys on the cursor pad to adjust the color balance of the projected image. Restoring factory If desired, you can restore the original factory settings by settings selecting the SETUP menu key, using cursor pad to select the RESET option, and depressing the right arrow key. Any changes from the default setting are stored in memory for that source.
