3. Use the following menu options to select the source of the image for the main or PIP/Secondary image.
- menu options Menu > Input Switching & PIP > Main Input and Menu > Input Switching & PIP
> PIP Input
The image will be displayed according to the following:
If it is the first time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but did not define a channel by
adjusting anything), the projector will recognize the new input signal based on its frequencies and polarities,
automatically displaying an image according to default settings for that signal.
In general, the image from the new source will be as large as possible without losing its aspect ratio. This and
other default image settings depend on the incoming source.
If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter, such as contrast, V-Position, etc., then a
channel was automatically created and still exists in projector memory (see
CHANNEL below). Using one of
the input or slot keys will automatically recall this channel—and all its setup parameters—and update the
display accordingly.
If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed according to the setup parameters for
the first channel with matching characteristics.
Creating a New Channel
To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be created so that the projector will respond to an
input signal from that source. A new channel can be created automatically, or it can be copied from an existing
channel and then edited as necessary, refer to
Figure 3-14 Copy a Channel and Figure 3-15 Delete a Channel .
When you select a direct input (

, or

), any existing channels in the projector are
searched for matching input and signal parameters – this only occurs if Auto Source is enabled on these
channels. 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 will be discarded unless one or
more of its parameters are changed and will not appear in the channel list (see below).
2)
If 2 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.
USING A CHANNEL: You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing
C
HANNEL
(see below). If
you want to hide a channel from appearing in this list, you must edit the channel refer to Figure 3-11 Channel
List . Such a channel can still be selected by entering its number as shown below.
NOTES: 1)
The current channel is highlighted
in the channel list, or, if the current channel is
hidden, the first channel in the list is
highlighted.
2)
Channels created automatically
do not appear in the channel list unless a
parameter for the channel has been changed.
