Specifications

Aspect Ratio
Aspect Ratio provides selection of one of four aspect ratios:
Anamorphic, Standard 4:3, Letterbox or VirtualWide. To
select an aspect ratio via the main menu, press either
the up and down buttons on the remote or front panel,
highlight ASPECT RATIO and press ENTER. The aspect
ratio menu will then appear with the four choices; highlight
the desired aspect ratio with the up or down buttons and
press ENTER. Otherwise, you may select an aspect ratio
by pressing either the up or down arrow buttons (on the
remote or front panel) when no menus are on-screen, or
by pressing one of the direct access buttons on the remote
control.
NOTE: The Cinema (2:35:1) aspect ratio is only available with projectors equipped with
the CineWide lens option.
Picture
Picture quality adjustments are the controls that change
different parameters of the image such as the amount of
color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set
to suit the needs of the user, there is a way to set these
properly. This section will describe what each function
does and how to adjust them properly.
To access the picture quality adjustments, press MENU,
press the down button to select Picture (indicated by the
green highlight) and press ENTER. The picture quality sub-
menu will then appear.
To make an adjustment to a particular function, highlight the function with the up or
down arrow buttons and press ENTER. Once the function is on-screen (i.e. brightness),
pressing the UP arrow button on the remote or front panel will increase the value of that
function; pressing the DOWN arrow on the remote or front panel will decrease the value
of that function.
NOTE: A BLUE FILTER must be used so only the blue color bars can be seen on a
standard color bar test pattern. Blue filters are provided with the Video Essentials or
AVIA test DVDs.
While each of the picture quality adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user,
there is a 'proper' way to set the adjustments. For setting TINT and COLOR, please
refer to the color bar test pattern below.
Tint
Tint
(also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color
portion of the image. If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder, and
increasing it will cause the image to appear greener. To set TINT properly, look
at the color bar pattern through a blue filter (or mute the red and green outputs).
Adjust TINT until the middle two tall color bars match the middle short color bars
(see color bar drawing).
