Adjusting the Black Level

When two images overlap, the overlapping area can appear differently from the areas that do not overlap. You can use the projector's Black Level setting to make the difference less noticeable.


Note: You may not be able to adjust the black levels correctly if the Geometry Correction settings are set too high. The brightness and tone of the overlapping areas may differ from the rest of the image even after adjusting the black level.
  1. Press the Menu button.
  2. Select the Extended menu and press Enter.
  3. Select the Multi-Projection setting and press Enter.
  4. Select the Black Level setting and press Enter. You see this screen:


  5. Select the Color Adjustment setting and press Enter. You see a screen based on the Top Edge, Bottom Edge, Right Edge, and Left Edge settings you selected for the Edge Blending setting.
    Note: The Color Adjustment setting is automatically adjusted when selecting Start Auto Adjustment in the Screen Matching screen.
  6. Select the area you want to adjust and press Enter.


    Note: The area you selected is displayed in orange. Adjust overlapping areas starting with the brightest areas first. For example, adjust area 2 to match area 1, then adjust area 3 to match area 2.
  7. Adjust the brightness and tone of the areas that do not overlap to match the areas that overlap using the displayed adjustment sliders.


  8. Repeat the previous two steps as needed until all areas match.
  9. If the tone of some areas do not match, you can adjust them using the Area Correction setting. Continue with the next step. Otherwise, press the Menu button to exit.
  10. Press the Esc button to return to the Black Level screen.
  11. Select the Area Correction setting and press Enter.
  12. Select the Start Adjustments setting and press Enter. You see a screen with boundary lines indicating areas that are overlapping. The boundary lines are based on the Top Edge, Bottom Edge, Right Edge, and Left Edge settings you selected for the Edge Blending setting.
  13. Use the arrow buttons to select a boundary line and press Enter. You see a screen like this displaying the points you can use to set the adjustment range:


  14. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the boundary line position and press the Enter button.
  15. Use the arrow buttons to select an adjustment point and press the Enter button. The selected point turns orange.


  16. Use the arrow buttons to move the point.


  17. To move another point, press the Esc button and repeat the previous two steps.
  18. To move another boundary line, press the Esc button repeatedly until you can select a boundary line.
  19. When you are finished, press the Menu button.
Note: Changing the Top Edge, Bottom Edge, Right Edge, or Left Edge settings resets the Black Level setting to its default value.
