Vidikron Vision Model 15 Installation/Operation Manual 49
SetupTo adjust the lamp and perform other common, installation-related tasks, use the up- or
down-arrow buttons to highlight
Setup in the Main Menu and press ENTER.
Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Setup Menu to adjust the lamp output level. You
can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (230W; this is the default setting) or you can
choose the lower (180W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output prolongs the life of the lamp,
but decreases brightness.
Lamp Reset: When you replace the projector lamp (refer to Lamp Replacement on page 56),
you should also reset the lamp timer. To do this, select Lamp Reset from the Setup menu. The
Vision 15 shows the number of hours the projector lamp has been in service and asks you to
confirm or cancel the reset. Press ENTER to confirm or EXIT to cancel.
Sync Threshold: The projector is compatible with EDTV (480p and 576p) and HDTV (720p,
1080i and 1080p) video signals. If a DVD player or other source component is not syncing
properly with the projector due to non-standard sync levels, adjust this setting to correct the
issue. This setting is only available for component video sources.
Source Select: The Vision 15 can automatically detect an incoming signal and switch to that
input if the current source signal becomes unavailable. To enable automatic source
detection, choose
Source Select from the Setup menu and set it to Auto.
Film Mode: Use the Film Mode control to smooth out moving images from interlaced
sources. In most cases, the Vision 15 detects the proper “pull-down” rate and vertical
frequency.
• Choose Auto to allow the deinterlacer to automatically determine the proper deinterlacer
mode for best display.
• Choose Off to force the deinterlacer to ignore film cadence and remain in video mode.
Use this setting if “combing” is present or if the deinterlacer switches between modes
constantly due to improper detection of film content (which can occur in animation, for
instance).
Digital Noise Reduction (DNR): Select DNR from the Setup menu, then use the or
button to adjust the amount of adaptive noise reduction. DNR is useful for clearing up noisy
images from interlaced SD sources. Adjust as desired, keeping in mind that reducing noise
(which reduces high frequencies) may also soften the image.
Background Color: Press the or button to select the image Background Color (black or
blue). The Background Color appears when no incoming signal is present.
12V Trigger: Select 12V Trigger from the Setup menu to configure the 12-volt trigger
output.
•Set the 12V Trigger to Normal if you want the trigger to activate when the projector is
turned on (for instance, if the trigger is controlling a retractable screen).
•Set the 12V Trigger to Cinema if you want the trigger to activate when the Cinema or
IntelliWide 2.35 aspect ratio is selected.

Reset the Lamp Timer ONLY after you replace the lamp. Otherwise, the

Do not exceed the recommended lamp life of 2000 hours. An old lamp
becomes increasingly fragile and prone to sudden failure.
