Figure 3-19 Channel List
Shown above is a sample list of channels available when you press the
C
HAN key. This is typically called the
“
Channel list
”.
NOTE:
The
C
HAN
key may display a channel list or not, depending on what you have defined for "Display
Channel List" (refer to Menu Preferences later in this section).
In order to access channels by using the
C
HAN
key on the remote, you must first create the channels. See
below.
3.7.2 Creating a New Channel
To use a new input source with the projector, a new channel must be added to the projector memory so that the
projector responds properly to an input signal from that source in the future. A new channel can be created
automatically, as described here, or it can be copied from an existing channel, and then edited as necessary (see
Section 3.7.5 Copying a Channel later in this section).
When you select a direct input ( Input 1 , Input 2 , Input 3 , Input 4 , Input 5 , or Input 6 ), any existing channels
in the projector are searched for matching input and signal parameters. If no match to the incoming input signal
is found in currently-defined channels, a new channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults
for this type of signal. The channel number assigned is the lowest available number from 01-99.
NOTES: 1) An automatic channel is discarded unless one or more of its parameters are changed, and it does 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 an incoming signal.
If the incoming signal does match an existing channel, the image is set up and displays as usual, according to
the parameters currently defined for that channel.
3.7.3 Selecting a Channel
Using a Channel
You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing
C
HAN . If you want to prevent a channel from
appearing in this list, you must edit the channel as described in Section 3.7.7 Editing a Channel Setup later in
this section. Such a channel can still be selected by entering its number as shown below.
