channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this signal. The
channel number assigned to this channel is the lowest available number from 01-99.
NOTES: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its
parameters are changed, and will not appear in the Channel List (see below). 2) If
two channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the
reversal of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still
defined as distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without a signal
present.
If the incoming signal does match an existing channel, the image will be set up and
displayed as usual according to the parameters currently defined for that channel.
USING A CHANNEL:
You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing Chan
(see right). If you want to
prevent a channel from
appearing in this list, you
must edit the channel as
described in Channel Edit
later in this section. Such a
channel can still be
selected by entering its
number as shown at right.
NOTE: 1) The current channel is highlighted upon entering the Channel List, or, if
this channel is not displayed in the list, the first channel in the list is highlighted. 2)
Channels created automatically do not appear in the Channel List unless a
parameter has been changed.
All available channels are listed in the Channel Setup menu, which describes how
each channel can be accessed and which serves as the gateway for editing, copying
and deleting channels.

This menu lists all channels defined
so far and indicates how they are connected to the projector. The far left column
contains current channel numbers defined. The values in the far right columns
indicate horizontal and vertical frequencies—if a name has been defined for this
channel, it appears here instead. Remaining columns contain details pertaining to
each channel setup, such as its switcher number, slot location, a variety of icons
indicating access to each channel, and an abbreviated description of each signal type.
See Editing a Channel Setup for details.
