ratio of the input source.  
4:3 — The input source scales to fit the screen.  
Wide — The input source scales to fit the width of the screen.

Using the Lamp menu, you can adjust the display settings of your projectors. The  
Picture menu, provides the following options:  
LAMP HOURDisplays the operating hours since the last lamp timer reset.  
POWER SAVINGSelect Yes to set the Power Saving delay period. The delay period is  
the time you want the projector to wait without an input signal. By default, the  
delay period is set to 120 minutes. However, you can set this to 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, or  
120 minutes.  
If an input signal is not detected during the delay period, the projector turns off  
the lamp and goes into power saving mode. If an input signal is detected within  
the delay period, the projector automatically turns on. If an input signal is not  
detected within two hours, the projector switches from Power Saving mode to  
Power Off mode. To turn on the projector press the Power button.  
ECO MODESelect On to use the projector at a lower power level (165 Watts),  
which may provide longer lamp life, quieter operation, and dimmer luminance  
output on the screen. Select Off to operate at normal power level (200 Watts).  
LAMP RESETAfter you install a new lamp, select Yes to reset the lamp timer.  
QUICK SHUTDOWNSelect Yes to turn off the projector with a single press of the  
Power button. This function allows the projector to quick power off with an  
accelerated fan speed. Slightly higher acoustic noise is expected during quick  
power off.

Appendix: Glossary  
ANSI LUMENS A standard for measuring the brightness. It is calculated by  
dividing a square meter image into nine equal rectangles, measuring the lux (or  
brightness) reading at the center of each rectangle, and averaging these nine  
points.  
ASPECT RATIO The most popular aspect ratio is 4:3 (4 by 3). Early television and  
computer video formats are in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means that the width of  
the image is 4/3 times the height.  
Brightness— The amount of light emitting from a display or projection display or  
projection device. The brightness of projector is measured by ANSI lumens.  
Color Temperature— The color appearance of white light. Low color  
temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature  
implies a colder (more blue) light. The standard unit for color temperature is  
Kelvin (K).  
Component Video—A method of delivering quality video in a format that  
consists of the luminance signal and two separate chrominance signals and are  
defined as Y'Pb'Pr' for analog component and Y'Cb'Cr' for digital component.  
Component video is available on DVD players.  
Composite Video — A video signal that combines the luma (brightness), chroma  
(color), burst (color reference), and sync (horizontal and vertical synchronizing  
signals) into a signal waveform carried on a single wire pair. There are three kind of  
formats, namely, NTSC, PAL and SECAM.  
Compressed Resolution— If the input images are of higher resolution than the  
native resolution of the projector, the resulting image will be scaled to fit the  
native resolution of the projector. The nature of compression in a digital device  
means that some image content is lost.  
Contrast Ratio— Range of light and dark values in a picture, or the ratio between  
their maximum and minimum values. There are two methods used by the  
projection industry to measure the ratio:  
1
Full On/Off — measures the ratio of the light output of an all white image (full  
on) and the light output of an all black (full off) image.  
2
ANSI — measures a pattern of 16 alternating black and white rectangles. The  
average light output from the white rectangles is divided by the average light  
output of the black rectangles to determine the ANSI contrast ratio.  
Full On/Off contrast is always a larger number than ANSI contrast for the same  
projector.  
Glossary  
47  
 
dB— decibelA unit used to express relative difference in power or intensity,  
usually between two acoustic or electric signals, equal to ten times the common  
logarithm of the ratio of the two levels.  
Diagonal Screen— A method of measuring the size of a screen or a projected  
image. It measures from one corner to the opposite corner. A 9FT high, 12FT  
wide, screen has a diagonal of 15FT. This document assumes that the diagonal  
dimensions are for the traditional 4:3 ratio of a computer image as per the example  
above.  
®
DLP — Digital Light Processing™Reflective display technology developed by  
Texas Instruments, using small manipulated mirrors. Light passes through a color  
filter is sent to the DLP mirrors which arrange the RGB colors into a picture  
projected onto screen, also known as DMD.  
DMD— digital Micro- Mirror DeviceEach DMD consists of thousands of  
tilting, microscopic aluminum alloy mirrors mounted on a hidden yoke.  
DVI-D— Digital Visual Interface-Digital connector.  
Focal Length— The distance from the surface of a lens to its focal point.  
Frequency— It is the rate of repetition in cycles per seconds of electrical signals.  
Measured in Hz (Hertz).  
Hz (Hertz)— Unit of frequency.  
Keystone Correction— Device that will correct an image of the distortion  
(usually a wide-top narrow-bottom effect) of a projected image caused by  
improper projector to screen angle.  
Maximum Distance— The distance from a screen the projector can be to cast an  
image that is usable (bright enough) in a fully darkened room.  
Maximum Image Size— The largest image a projector can throw in a darkened  
room. This is usually limited by focal range of the optics.  
Minimum Distance— The closest position that a projector can focus an image  
onto a screen.  
NTSC— National Television Standards Committee. North American standard for  
video and broadcasting, with a video format of 525 lines at 30 frames per second.  
PAL— Phase Alternating Line. A European broadcast standard for video and  
broadcasting, with a video format of 625 lines at 25 frames per second.  
Reverse Image— Feature that allows you to flip the image horizontally. When  
used in a normal forward projection environment text, graphics, etc, are  
backwards. Reverse image is used for rear projection.  
RGB— Red, Green, Bluetypically used to describe a monitor that requires  
separate signals for each of the three colors.  
48  
Glossary  
S-Video—A video transmission standard that uses a 4-pin mini-DIN connector to  
send video information on two signal wires called luminance (brightness, Y) and  
chrominance (color, C). S-Video is also referred to as Y/C.  
SECAM— A French and international broadcast standard for video and  
broadcasting, closely related to PAL but with a different method of sending color  
information.  
SVGA— Super Video Graphics Array800 x 600 pixels count.  
SXGA— Super Extended Graphics Array,1280 x 1024 pixels count.  
UXGA— Ultra Extended Graphics Array1600 x 1200 pixels count.  
VGA— Video Graphics Array640 x 480 pixels count.  
XGA— Extended Video Graphics Array1024 x 768 pixels count.  
Zoom Lens— Lens with a variable focal length that allows operator to move the  
view in or out making the image smaller or larger.  
Zoom Lens Ratio— Is the ratio between the smallest and largest image a lens can  
projector from a fixed distance. For example, a 1.4:1 zoom lens ratio means that a  
10 foot image without zoom would be a 14 foot image with full zoom.
