Optimizing the image
Selecting a picture mode
The projector is preset with several predefined picture
modes so you can choose one to suit your operating
environment and input signal picture type.
To select an operation mode that best suits your need,
you can follow the following steps.
• Make sure the input source is on computer,
composite video, component or HDMI/MHL mode
and the projection screen is being displayed.
• You may press to open the pop-up menu. Press to select Picture Mode
Settings and press OK to enter. Select Picture Mode and press / to select a
desired mode.
The picture modes are listed below.
1. Bright mode: Maximizes the brightness of the projected image. This mode is
suitable for environments where extra-high brightness is required, such as using the
projector in well lit rooms.
2. Presentation mode (Default): Is designed for presentations. The brightness is
emphasized in this mode.
3. Cinema mode: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from digital
cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light)
environment.
4. Game mode: Is appropriate for playing games.
5. User mode: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available picture
modes. See "Setting the User mode" for details.
