Switching input signal

The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only display one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the available signals.

Be sure the Quick Auto Search function in the SOURCE menu is On if you want the projector to automatically search for the signals.

To select the source:

•Using the remote control or projector

Press one of the Source buttons on the remote control, or press SOURCE on the projector repeatedly until your desired signal is selected.

•Using the OSD menu

1.Press SOURCE on the projector or remote control. A source selection bar displays.

2.Press / until your desired signal is selected and press MODE/ENTER.

Once detected, the selected source information will display at the corner of the screen for seconds. If there is multiple equipment connected to the projector, repeat steps 1-2 to search for another signal.

•The brightness level of the projected image will change accordingly when you switch between different input signals. Data (graphic) "PC" presentations using mostly static images are generally brighter than "Video" using mostly moving images (movies).

•The native display resolution of this projector is in a 4:3 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, you should select and use an input signal which outputs at this resolution. Any other resolutions will be scaled by the projector depending upon the “aspect ratio” setting, which may cause some image distortion or loss of picture clarity. See "Selecting the aspect ratio" on page 25 for details.

•Firewall in the PC must be switched off to allow Q Presenter and USB Display to work.

To do this:

1.Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the SOURCE menu is highlighted.

2.Press to highlight Color Space Conversion and press / to select a suitable color space.

This function is only available when the HDMI-input port is in use.
