Stereo

should

be

pressed

when

listening

to

a

stereo

sound

source

such

as

a

VHS

Hi-fi

tape

or

MTS

stereo

TV

broadcast.

If

you

are

using

only

a

mono

source,

do

not

activate

this

button.

Also

note

that

the

stereo

function

is

temporarily

deactivated

when

adjusting

the

balance

control.

Hy

-Son

sonically

enhances

monophonic

sound.

On

regular

mono

TV

broadcasts

and

videocassettes

it

synthesizes

a

remarkably

lifelike

stereo

effect.

When

used

with

stereo

sources,

it

further

widens

the

stereo

effect.

Experiment

with

this

control

and

use

it

according

to

your

own

tastes.

Audio

preset

allows

you

to

set

the

volume

and

balance

controls

so

that

they

are

at

prearranged

levels

when

the

set

comes

on.

When

you

are

satisfied

with

your

settings,

touch

the

SET

PRESET

button.

Bass

and

treble

controls

are

found

only

on

the

projector

control

panel.

They

let

you

adjust

the

tone

quality

of

your

speakers.

Experiment

with

them

using

both

music

and

dialogue

to

arrive

at

a

setting

which

is

most

pleasing.

Boosting

both

bass

and

treble

will

add

impact

to

music

and

corn-

pensate

for

the

narrow

frequency

range

of

broadcast

television.

Reducing

both

con-

trols

will

make

dialogue

more

understand-

able,

especially

good

if

a

member

of

your

family

is

slightly

hard

of

hearing.

Test

Most

of

the

time,

you

will

be

using

the

VPM500's

compact

wireless

remote

con-

trol

unit

to

adjust

picture

and

sound.

There

are

infrared

receptors

on

both

the

front

and

back

of

the

VPM500

so

you

can

either

point

the

remote

in

the

general

direction

of

the

projector's

back

side

or

aim

it

directly

at

the

screen,

where

the

signal

will

bounce

off

and

return

to

the

front

receptor.

Of

course,

neither

receptor

should

be

blocked

by

furniture.

—

and

+

.

If

you

have

operated

a

TV

remote

control,

you

will

note

that

the

VPM500's

remote

also

uses

rectangular

buttons

which

rock

in

two

directions.

The

left

(

—

)

side

decreases

an

effect;

the

right

(

)

side

increases

it.

Switching

operations

with

the

TEST

button.

To

minimize

the

size

and

complexity

of

the

VPM500

remote,

several

sets

of

controls

use

the

same

buttons.

Picture

control

and

Color

Convergence

are

adjusted

by

the

same

set

of

buttons

depending

on

whether

you

have

pressed

the

TEST

button.

The

TEST

button

also

changes

between

vol-

ume

and

balance

controls.

When

the

TEST

button

is

pushed,

a

cross

line

pat-

tern

appears

in

the

center

of

the

screen.

It

is

used

for

color

convergence

adjustment

and

will

disappear

when

the

TEST

button

is

pressed

again

or

after

3

minutes.

NOTE:

The

functions

active

in

the

TEST

mode

(color

convergence

and

balance)

are

not

necessary

in

day-to-day

use.

They

should

be

set

initially

and

periodically

checked

(about

once

a

month)

but

other-

wise

not

used

regularly.
