Adjusting the Brightness
The brightness of an image depends on the source you are
projecting and the amount of light in the room. If the image is
too bright or not bright enough, do one of the following:
❏ Change the
Brightness setting in the Image menu.
❏ Select
Low or High for the Brightness Control option in
the Setting menu. Low Brightness mode extends the life of
the lamp and decreases the fan noise.
Selecting the Color Mode
The Color Mode adjusts the brightness, contrast, and color for
various common viewing environments. Use this setting to
quickly obtain a good picture.
Press the
Color Mode button on the remote control, and then
select from one of these options:
❏
Presentation: For giving color presentations in a bright
room.
❏
Text: For giving black-and-white presentations in a bright
room.
❏
Theatre: For watching movies in a darkened room; gives
images a natural tone.
❏
Photo: For vivid, high-contrast still images in a bright room.
❏
Sports: For vivid TV images projected in a bright room
(video, S-video, or composite video only).
❏

watching TV in a bright room. Emphasizes dark gradations.
❏

computer displays.
❏
Blackboard: Projects accurate colors on a green chalkboard
(adjusts the white point).
❏
Customized: For manual color adjustment
Using the Remote Control
When using the remote control, stand within 20 feet of the
projector. Point the remote control either at the projector or at
the screen (the projector’s front sensor can detect signals
bounced off the screen). Press the button for the function you
want to use. Avoid using the remote under bright fluorescent
lamps or in direct sunlight, or the projector may not respond
properly.
Switching Between Picture Sources
If your projector is connected to more than one computer
and/or video source, you can switch between the different
sources:
❏ The easiest way to select your source is to press the
Search
button on the remote control (or the
Source Search button
on the projector) repeatedly until you see the image you
want on the screen.
❏ On the remote control, there are several
Source buttons.
Use them to switch between equipment connected to the
port identified on each button, or to use EasyMP (PowerLite
1815p only).
After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment
before the image appears.
