    Besides being the system's control center, the PFP Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which outputs all signals in the native resolution of the DR-300c Projector. The Composite, S- video and Component (non-progressive) signals are sent through the PFP Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-interlaced, then scaled to the native resolution of the Projector.

    Aspect Ratio Select Installer Adjust The menu tree above is an overall glance at the menu system in the DR-300c. This menu is shown with the installation mode enabled. * These menu items will only appear if the installation mode is enabled (pg. 21).
  • Page 19 ‘16:9 position’ sets the position of the image on the DMD to top, center, or bottom for installation flexibility (pg. 22). This is only applicable if ‘16:9 screen’ is selected. Also, the age of the lamp in the Projector (lamp hours) may be checked in the Installation Menu.
  • Page 20: Picture Quality Adjustments

    Picture Quality Adjustments Main Menu > COMPOSITE S-VIDEO COMPONENT RGB/COMPONENT ASPECT RATIO SELECT INSTALLER ADJUST Picture quality adjustments (also known as "Front Panel Controls") are the controls that change differ- ent parameters of the image such as the amount of color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a way to set these properly.
  • Page 21 CONTRAST adjusts the white level of the image.Adjust contrast until there is a distinct defini- tion between the two brightest bars. NOTE: For best results, Runco recommends that CONTRAST be set to '0' or very close to it. BRIGHTNESS adjusts the black level of the image. To adjust this properly, adjust BRIGHT- NESS until the 'below black' bar JUST disappears, but the 'above black' bar is still barely visible.
  • Page 22 SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if adjusted too high.
