Adjusting the Color Mode

You may want to adjust the color mode to select a setting
that is appropriate for the image you’re projecting and the
environment in which you’re projecting it.

The following table lists the available color modes.

To change the color mode, press the

Color Mode

button on

the remote control until you see the mode you want. The
currently selected setting appears in the upper right corner of
the screen. You can also use the projector menu system to select
the Color Mode in the Video menu.

Projecting Images Without a Screen

Even if you don’t have a screen, you can project images onto
surfaces like blackboards and colored walls without loss of
image color. Your projector has a sensor that measures the
conditions of the projection surface and automatically adjusts
the colors and shading of your image.

Making Initial Color Corrections

Press the

Wall Shot

button on

either the remote control or the
projector’s control panel while
projecting an image.

Wall Shot’s status appears in the
upper right corner of your screen.
Then you see a sequence of colors
flash for approximately five
seconds while the sensor measures
the conditions of the projection
surface and adjusts the image.

Note: If the status message indicates
that Wall Shot is off, press the

Wall Shot

button again to turn

it on.

When you turn off the projector, it stores the correction values
obtained by the last Wall Shot measurements. This is useful if
you’re projecting against the same surface and under the same
conditions. To retrieve these corrections, just press the

Wall

Shot

button again while projecting an image.

Adjusting Color Corrections for a New
Surface

Follow these steps to adjust the correction values if you’re
projecting on a new surface or in a new location:

1. Press the

Wall Shot

button on the remote control or

projector while you’re projecting an image. Wait for the
Wall Shot status screen.

2. Press the

Wall Shot

button until you see

Wall Shot

Readjustment

on the status screen.

You see a sequence of colors flash for about five seconds as
the projector adjusts the color correction values for the new
projection surface.

Shutting Down the Projector

When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the
recommended procedure below to shut it down. This extends
the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible
overheating.

Note: When the projector has not received any input signals for 30
minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters
sleep mode. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and
extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector,
unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press
the
P

Power

button.

You can turn off sleep mode using the

Sleep Mode

option in the

Setting menu. If

Standby Mode

has been set to

Network ON

(in the Advanced1 menu), the lamp turns off but the projector
does not go into full sleep mode. (It provides enough operation to
allow network access.)

Follow these steps to turn off the projector:

1. Turn off any equipment plugged into the projector.

2. To turn off the projector, press the red P

Power

button on

the projector or remote control.

You see a confirmation
message. (If you don’t want
to turn it off, press any
other button.)
