Absolute Color Adjustment

As well as using Color Mode, you can also adjust the absolute color temperature of the image and skin tones to suit your taste. p.37

What's more, you can obtain colors that match the image and achieve the colors you want through a combination of gamma adjustment, RGB offset or gain adjustment for each color, and hue, saturation, and brightness adjustment for each RGBCMY color. p.34

Conforms to Wireless Transmissions for the WirelessHD Standards (EH-TW9100W/EH-TW8100W Only)

The projector can wirelessly receive data for images from WirelessHD compatible AV devices. You do not need to connect a cable directly to the main projector unit.

You can connect up to five AV devices to the WirelessHD Transmitter at the same time, and switch images using the remote control.

You can also connect other output devices such as televisions, and switch the device. This allows other output devices to project images from the connected AV device, even if the projector is off. p.53

  • The Frame Interpolation function creates an intermediary image between one frame and the next rendering a smoother, cleaner viewing experience, and removing jarring movements such as frame skipping. p.39
  • The Super-resolution function allows you to enjoy DVDs in high resolution. Also, low resolution areas (parts that are blurred) of full hi-vision images become smoother and sharper. p.40

Warning

  • A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
  • If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the projector.
  • Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
  • Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke from fires or tobacco smoke.

Attention

Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty. p.93
