Screen surface quality can also affect the reflectivity of light in your projected image. Screen
reflective properties are measured as “gain” rates, with 1.0 gain as the reflectivity of a white
board. Highly reflective screen surfaces (above 1.0 gain) create a brighter image, but the
brightness may not be uniform enough for a dedicated home theater environment and the
colors may appear to shift from different viewing angles.
In a home theater room with darkened surroundings and controlled lighting, a screen surface
with less than 1.0 gain is best. For rooms where you cannot control the light or will always
have ambient light, you may want to select a screen surface with more than 1.0 gain to
compensate for the additional brightness.
Starting a DVD
Insert your DVD into the slot.
Warning: Close the lens cover before inserting or ejecting a disc. When the picture appears, do not
look into the lens, and do not allow children or pets to look into the lens. The bright light may affect
your vision.
After about 30 seconds, the projector warms up and the picture comes on.
