The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type 

selected.

3.

Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.

There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. 

One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color 

temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A 

white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in 

classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where 

building external windows allow daylight into the room. 

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture 

theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management 

provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, 

should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing 

conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of 

suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with 

the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable 

guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you 

select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your 

preference.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be 

used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any 

image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make 

adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

1.

Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.
