manual abstract
Adjust this setting first, then fine-tune the image with the remaining settings. The Brightness setting controls how much light is produced by the projector, and the Contrast setting adjusts the difference between the bright and dark areas of the projected image. The other settings listed on the following page control how the projector interprets the light and dark areas of the picture. Making Detailed Adjustments 35 ¦ Brightness/Contrast Picture • Input Adjustment • Brightness/Contrast Note: If you cannot access the Brightness and Contrast settings, highlight Input Adjustment and press the Select button, then choose Brightness/Contrast in the sub-menu. Adjust the brightness so it’s suitable for your viewing conditions. For example, if you’re projecting in a brightly lit room or onto an especially large screen, you may need to increase the brightness. Decrease the brightness for dark rooms or small screens; this also reduces power consumption and fan noise, and helps to prolong the life of the lamp. ¦ White Level/Black Level Picture • Input Adjustment • White Level/Black Level Note: If you cannot access the White Level and Black Level settings, highlight Input Adjustment and press the Select button, then choose White Level/Black Level in the sub-menu. Adjust the White Level so that details in the brightest parts of the image are not washed out. Then adjust the Black Level so that shadow-level details are still visible in the darkest parts of the image. ¦ Auto Iris Picture • Auto Iris When this setting is on, the amount of light produced by the lamp is automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the image. The setting is stored separately for each image source and color mode. ¦ Setup Level Image • Advanced • Setup Level This setting adjusts the threshold at which dark areas of the image are rendered black (0 IRE). For compatibility with most video equipment sold in the United States, leave this setting at 0%. Check your video equipment’s specifications to be sure of the correct setting. ¦ EPSON Super White Image • Advanced • EPSON Super White Note: This setting can be used only when the Color Mode is set to Natural, Cinema Night, HD, or Silverscreen (see page 28). If bright parts of the image are washed out or overexposed (when the input signal contains values over 100 IRE), turn this setting on to compensate. When this setting is turned on, the projector disregards the DVI-Video Level setting. 36 Making Detailed Adjustments ¦ DVI-Video Level Image • Advanced • DVI-Video Level Note: This setting can be used only when HDMI is selected as the image source (see page 22). If your video equipment has a DVI port and you’ve connected it to the projector using an HDMI/DVI cable, set the level of the projector to match that of the video equipment. When this setting is turned on, the projector disregards the EPSON Super White setting. Sharpness and Picture Quality Settings If the image looks fuzzy, or if it contains noise or flickering, you can use these settings to correct it. ¦ Sharpness Picture • Sharpness Use this function to make lines and edges appear more distinct in the image. This setting is stored separately for each image source and color mode setting. You can select Standard to adjust the sharpness of the entire image, or select Advanced to access the following submenu: Choose High-band Enhancement to sharpen details such as hair and clothing. Choose Low-band Enhancement to sharpen large contours and backgrounds. ¦ Progressive Image • Advanced • Progressive The projector uses 3D DigiScan HD Circuitry Processing for video-sourced images. For film-sourced images, the projector uses 3-2 pulldown detection and optimizes the image accordingly. Leave this setting on Video for most purposes. Set to Film when the input source is a film, and you want to project an image closer to its original source. Note: This setting applies only when viewing composite video, S-video, component video, or 525i or 625i RGB video (see page 65). Making Detailed Adjustments 37 Color Settings If the image colors don’t look correct, you can adjust them using these settings. Use the first three settings described below to make the most visible changes. If you only need to make slight adjustments, you can fine-tune the picture with the remaining settings. Most color settings are stored separately for each image source and color mode. ¦ Color Saturation Picture • Color Saturation Adjusts the color intensity of the image. ¦ Tint Picture • Tint Shifts the color balance between magenta and green. ¦ Abs. Color Temp. Picture • Color Adjustment • Abs. Color Temp. Shifts the color balance between red and blue, making the image appear warmer or cooler.
