The following table lists the color modes available.
You can also use the projector menu system to change the color
mode in the Image menu. (See the User’s Guide for more
information.)
Turning Off the Picture and Sound
Press the A/V Mute button on the remote control or use the
A/V Mute slide on the projector to turn off the image and
sound and darken your screen. This is useful if you want to
temporarily re-direct your audience’s attention without the
distraction of a bright screen.
❏ To turn off the picture and sound, press the
A/V Mute
button or close the
A/V Mute slide on the projector. The
screen goes dark.
❏ To turn the image and sound back on, press the button
again, or open the
AV Mute slide.
You can create an image, such as a company logo or a picture, to
display on the screen whenever you press the
A/V Mute button.
See your User’s Guide for more information.
Stopping Action
Press the Freeze button to
stop the action in your video
or computer image and keep
the current image on the
screen. The sound will
continue, however. Also,
because the source continues
to transmit signals, you won’t
resume the action from the
point you paused it.
Press the
Freeze button again to restart it.
