13 MENU DESCRIPTION
To access the main On Screen Display menu, press the
Menu key on the keyboard or the key Menu + or Menu -
on the remote control (Fig. 46) .
Fig. 46
The main menu is divided into four sections to cover va-
rious adjustments in a practical and logical manner.
The on-screen menu layout is dependant upon the cho-
sen input signal so various options may not be applica-
ble, i.e. some typical adjustments to the video signal are
not applicable to the graphic RGB signals from PC and
viceversa.

Use this control to adjust the image’s black level.
13.1.2 CONTRAST
Use this control to adjust the image’s white level, be ca-
reful not to over saturate the white level.
13.1.3 COLOR
Use this control to adjust the colour level.
13.1.4 TINT
Controls the purity of the colours, to NTSC coded signal
standards. Tint is only applicable to video input with NTSC
standard, to RGB 15kHz and YCrCb 15kHz inputs and
YCrCb 32kHz (no RI2).
13.1.5 SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of
picture detail.
13.1.6 SHARPNESS MODE
It allows to select the type of processing that determines
the detail. In progressive or de-interlaced video signals
the video option is suggested, with graphic signals from
a PC the Graphic option is suggested.
13.1.7 FILTER
For video signals it improves the image’s horizontal/vertical
definition and sharpness.
13.1.8 CINEMA MODE
In Auto the de-interlaced recognizes if the video signal is
originated from a cinematographic film (resulting from
Teleciné with 3:2 or 2:2 Pull Down) and applies an
interpolation algorithm optimized for this type of signal.
Instead if the video signal does not originate from a
cinematographic film, or Off is chosen, the de-interlacer
applies a “Motion Compensated” algorithm optimized for
signals coming from a videocamera.
13.1.9 VIDEO TYPE
Inserts a filter that improves stability of images from vi-
deo-recorders. To toggle between Normal and VCR mode,
press the VCR key on the remote control.
QUICK MENU
It's possible to access to adjustment herewith showed,
using the P+ and P- keys on remote control, without

By repeatedly pressing the key or by pressing the

is possible to select the aspect ratio.
13.2.2.1 Normal
This aspect projects the image occuping the full vertical
dimension of the screen and maintaining the correct
aspect (4:3 or 16:9).
13.2.2.2 Anamorpchic
This aspect allows to properly visualize an image 16:9
13.2.2.3 Letterbox
This aspect allows to project a 4:3 letterbox image fil-ling
the 16:9 screen and maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
13.2.2.4 Panoramic
This aspect stretches the 4:3 image slightly cutting the
upper and lower parts. It's ideal to project a 4:3 image in
a screen of 16:9 aspect ratio.
13.2.2.5 Pixel to Pixel
This aspect projects the signal as it is input without scaling
up or down.
Image is projected in the center of screen.

Select Zoom (the magnifying lens icon will appear at
the centre of the image) to adjust the level of enlargement,
using the Left and Right Arrows.
Select Pan (zoom button on the remote control) to choose
the area of image to enlarge, using all four arrow keys.

The angle of projection is limited to + or - 8 degrees. If the
projector is level then use the lens shift feature to correctly
position the image on screen (Fig. 47) .

KEYSTONE
To obtain maximum quality of the projected image, we
recommend the installation of the projector on a level
platform parallel and central to the screen. In the event
that the picture is not correctly positioned use the lensshift
feature. Should it not be possible to centralize the image
by adjusting the lens height, tilt the projector, but this will
create keystone error.
