Image menu (for RGB sources only)

Menu item Description
Overscan Turns off the cropping of the video signal normally performed on for VCR inputs so that the full image appears for DVD signals. The default setting is On.
Image Position Allows repositioning of a native or 16x9 video image to the top, middle or bottom of the screen. The default position is the middle.
Resize

For computer sources, automatically resizes a non-native image by scaling it up or down. XGA images are not affected. VGA and SVGA images are scaled up to fit the screen. SXGA images are scaled down to fit the screen.

When Resize is on, the projector makes the best fit of a VGA or SVGA image to the screen by adding lines to the image. If this produces an undesirable result, turning off Auto Resize will make the image smaller than the screen. However, the image will be sharp.

For video sources, Resize allows four different resizing options. Standard resizes original version to fit the standard 4:3 aspect ration screen. Widescreen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio of the original theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 space, and black bars appear on the top and bottom of the image. Enhanced Widescreen is meant for content labeled Enhanced for Widescreen TVs. This option provides more detail than the Widescreen Letterbox option. The Native option effectively turns Resize off, and shows the image in the projector's native resolution, which 1024 x 768 XGA. Video is approximately a 640 x 480 resolution, so the resulting image will fill only part of the screen.

Auto Image Auto Image automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchronization and vertical and horizontal position for most computers. If the automatic tracking, synchronization or position is not acceptable for a given computer, turning off Auto Resize allows manual adjustment.
Manual Sync When Auto Image is off, allows manual synchronization adjustment. This control used when Auto Image is selected but the projected computer image still looks fuzzy or streaked.
Manual Tracking When Auto Image is off, allows manual tracking adjustment. This control is used when the Auto Image feature can’t properly track a source, resulting in evenly spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines, or a projected image that is too wide or too narrow for the screen.
Horizontal Position When Auto Image is off, allows manual horizontal positioning.
Vertical Position When Auto Image is off, allows manual vertical positioning.
Zoom Allows an area of the screen to be magnified 2, 4 or 8 times. When Zoom is selected, a box appears on the screen, which can be moved using the disc mouse. Pressing the right mouse button magnifies the box location by a factor of two. Three mouse clicks magnify the image by eight times. The left mouse button zooms out at the same rate. Pressing the left mouse button at the 1x level turns the Zoom feature off.

Controls menu

Menu item Description
Video Standard When in the Auto mode, the projector attempts to detect the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M and PAL-N can’t be automatically detected, and thus must be selected manually.)
Standby Time Allows the user to specify how long before the projector turns itself off after the Standby button is pressed on the remote or keypad. In standby mode, the lamp stays on and the blank screen is displayed. Standby mode allows a quick restart because the lamp doesn’t need to re-strike. Select among 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes and 1 and 2 hours by clicking either mouse button and cycling through the options.
Ceiling Projection When selected, inverts the image so the image appears correctly when projector is mounted on the ceiling.
Rear Projection When selected, reverses the image so the image appears correctly when shown from behind a translucent screen.
Default Source Selects which source (computer or video) the projector checks first during the power-up sequence. Options include Computer 1 and Video. Indicates whether a computer source is analog or digital.
Auto Source Select When selected, the projector automatically stays locked on to the active source, and the Source button on the keypad is disabled. When off, the user can switch between sources.
