We can conclude that the thumb rule for DVD projection is to always leave the projector in 4:3 format except when dealing with anamorphic sources where the 16:9 setting allows the best reproduction. The Auto function calculates an aspect ratio based on the information stored in the image files.
7. Image Menu Image 7-10 The aspect ratio settings are greyed out in case the Show native resolution or the Full screen representation setting is enabled. How to set a custom Aspect ratio ? 1.

7. Image Menu Image 7-23 7.7 Blanking Blanking in the Image menu The blanking in general allows to blank unwanted video information (noise in the top or bottom of the image). The blanking in the image menu is the same as in the Display settings menu except for the fact that here the blanking settings are stored in the image files. In other words each custom file or source has its own blanking values. See the blanking procedure in the Display settings menu.
7. Image Menu G B R ∆G ∆R ∆Β Black level Image 7-25 One can conclude here that a good color tracking can only be met by using three previously (input) balanced color signals Analog Digital Conversion The analog color signals must pass through an Analog/Digital conversion circuit prior to any digital processing in the PMP. A typical ADC transforms the analog value into an 8 bit coded digital signal.
7. Image Menu B A Image 7-27 White balance : In the projector, we will set the contrast for each color until we get a 100% light output picture when projecting a 100% white image (image A) Black balance : In the projector, we will set the brightness for each color until we get a 0% light output picture when projecting a 100% black image (image B).
7. Image Menu Image 7-29 Image 7-30 Image 7-31 Performing White input balance 1. Connect the source you want to project 2. Select a white pattern (or gray scale as alternative) 3. Press MENU to activate the Toolbar 4. Press → to select the Image item 5. Press ↓ to Pull down the Image menu 6. Use ↑ or ↓ to select Input balance 7. Press → to pull down the menu 8. Use ↓ or ↑ to select White balance (image 7-32) 9. adjust the red white level (gain) on a minimal value (image 7-33) 10.
7. Image Menu Image 7-32 Image 7-33 if one uses a gray scale pattern, the bright spots should appear in the white bar. Selecting Preset restores the factory input balance setting Remark on the input balance of a component video source Before starting the Input Balance procedure, generate a signal with dominant white parts.
7. Image Menu • The white balance happens only on Green Adjust until bright spots appear in the image Image 7-34 • The black balance happens on the three colors The PR and PB connector have to be removed from the input Adjust until noise appears in the image Image 7-35 The input balance settings are stored in the image file, each source has its own input balance. 7.
7. Image Menu Image 7-36 The AGC can be disturbing in case of Macrovision encoded signals, therefore the AGC can be disabled (OFF) at any time 7.10 Manual Gain Control What can be done ? Beside the AGC there is the possibility to manually set the gain of the incoming video signal. When the AGC is enabled (ON), the manual setting does not affect the gain, AGC must therefore be disabled.
