Appendix C: Detailed Setup Information
C-1. Setting Representation, Resolution
Pre-stored standard mode settings for a variety of IBM compatible and Apple Macintosh computers help the projector to recognize the current mode and adjust for optimum performance automatically. Apart from this you can enter and save additional modes with any parameters by means of the menu system. An upper limit is given by the maximum admissible pixel rate (Appendix A-1). Adjust the projector to optimum display quality, as described below, by using the menu control (see section 4-4). All steps described can be carried out via the keyboard or the remote control: 1. Adjust the background as necessary to obtain a display with the highest possible contrast. For use under Microsoft Windows it is recommended that you close all applications first, and by using the system control, adjust the desktop background to an even black-and-white raster. 2. Call up the main menu of the projector by pressing the MENU key. 3. Select the Setup menu. 4. Open the Setup menu by pressing the ENTER key. The current mode is displayed in the title block of the Setup menu. Change the mode field if desired. Confirm your selection by pressing the ENTER key 5. Move to the menu item Pixel and select the same image resolution as your computer. 6. Select the menu item Brightness and correct the setting so that white areas are projected with maximum intensity. Press the ENTER key for automatic adjustment. Look at a finely structured area with grid lines. This area may have vertical interference lines superimposed on it.

The following table shows the possible settings of the projector. These settings can be restored by pressing ENTER and the button on the control panel (backside of projector) when switching on the main power of the projector.

Glossary

Glossary of Terms
Amorphous Silicon See Thin-Film Transistor.
NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) Standard for television signals and other video equipment signals. Uses interlaced scans and 525 horizontal lines per frame at a rate of 30 frames per second. PAL (Phase Alternate Line) The format for color television signals used in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and several other countries. PAL is an interlaced format with 25 frames per second and 625 lines per screen. Pixel Short for picture element. Unique position on a display that consists of a single dot or group of three dots (red, green & blue). Total pixels are usually expressed in horizontal x vertical dimensions (e.g. 640 x 480). Power ON/OFF switch The power ON/OFF switch is used to turn the machine on and off. The power switch is located on the back of the projector in the lower left-hand corner.
Metal halide lamp A metal halide lamp is a modified mercury arc lamp that is extremely bright. It is filled with a gas with elements known as halogens. The properties of this fill gas allows the lamp to burn longer and brighter than ordinary incandescent lamps.
Lumens A measure of light output on a screen or other surface. One lumen is the light of one candlepower on each square foot of a surface of a sphere at a radius of one foot from the light source.
Keystone correction Keystoning (distorted image) is caused when the path of the projector light beam is not perpendicular to the screen. Projectors normally project the image with an angle (e.g. 16) on the screen. The optical system can be designed for distortion free projection at this angle (keystone correction).
