Basic Operations
The following six preset colour modes are available for use depending on the characteristics of the images
that are being projected. You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour
mode that corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will vary depending on which
colour mode is selected.
Procedure
The colour mode changes as follows
each time the [Color Mode] button on
the remote control is pressed.
Normal → Meeting → Presentation → Theatre
→ Game → sRGB ...
The current setting appears in the top-right corner
of the screen each time the colour mode is
changed.
The default colour mode setting is "Normal"
when computer image signals are being input,
and "Theatre" when component video
or video
signals are being input.
This function changes the aspect ratio of images from 4:3 to 16:9 when component video images (YCbCr
and YPbPr) or video images (S-Video or composite video) are being projected. Images which have been
recorded in digital video or onto DVDs can be viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format.
Selecting the Colour Mode
Mode Application
sRGB Images conform to the sRGB colour standard. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the
projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.
Normal Brightness is emphasised. For presentation in bright rooms.
Meeting Images are modulated using their original tints, with no colour enhancement.
Presentation For presentations in dark rooms.
Theatre Movie images are optimised using natural tints.
Game Brightness is emphasised. Ideal for playing video games in bright rooms.
The colour mode can also be set using the "Color Mode" command in the "Video" menu.
