28 Making Basic Adjustments
Note: When displaying 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signals through the HDMI or Component video port,
the aspect ratio is automatically selected and you cannot change it.
If you display a 4:3 image using the Zoom setting, the top and bottom will be cut off. You can use
the Zoom Caption Pos. option and other settings to resize and reposition the image. For details,
see page 47.
For details on how the projector resizes the picture when you choose an Aspect setting, see
page 67.
Choosing the Color Mode
You can change the Color Mode to automatically adjust brightness, contrast, and color,
letting you quickly optimize the projected image for various lighting environments. You can
also select a different color mode for each input source—which is useful if you view different
types of images from different sources. (For example, you might set the HDMI 1 source to
Cinema Day or Living Room if it’s usually used for watching movies in the daytime with
the blinds closed, and the PC source to
Vivid or Dynamic for playing video games with the
blinds open.)
Select the image source you want to adjust, then press the
Color Mode button on the remote
control. Choose from these settings:
Vivid (Pro Cinema 9700 UB) or Dynamic (Pro
Cinema 9350
) for projecting the brightest picture
available.
Cinema Day (Pro Cinema 9700 UB) or Living
Room(
Pro Cinema 9350) for watching television
programs during the day.
THX (Pro Cinema 9700 UB) or Natural (Pro Cinema
9350) for projecting natural, accurate colors in a dimly
lit room.
Cinema Night (Pro Cinema 9700 UB) or Cinema (Pro Cinema 9350) for viewing
movies in a dimly lit room.
HD (Pro Cinema 9700 UB) for images that are close to those in professional-use
broadcast monitors. Use in a fully darkened room.
Silver Screen (Pro Cinema 9700 UB) to emphasize rich colors, like those seen in movies
at the theater. Use in a fully darkened room.
x.v.Color for the most natural color reproduction when viewing movies through HDMI.
