Operation

Figure 4-14. PIP Split-Screen Mode

Menu Position: Select Menu Position from the System menu to change the OSD menu position. The default setting is ““ (top left).

Translucent Menu: Select Translucent Menu from the System menu to adjust the degree of translucence (show-through) in the menus and message boxes. 0% means that the menus are opaque. The default setting is 25%.

Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the System menu to adjust the lamp output level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (260W) or you can choose the default, Economy (230W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output prolongs the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness. This setting is per source, not global, so it can be saved like other user settings.

Blank Screen: Select Blank Screen from the System menu to choose the color of the blank screen that appears when no source signal is present. The options are Logo, Black, Blue and White. The default is Black.

Auto Power Off: Set Auto Power Off to On to have the PD7170 turn itself off after 20 minutes of inactivity (no source signal present).

Auto Power On: Setting Auto Power On to On causes the projector to automatically power up when AC power is present. If the projector is plugged into a switched AC outlet, this allows the projector to be turned on using a wall switch instead of the remote control unit. If you do not need this capability, set Auto Power On to Off (this is the default setting).

Rear Projection: This control reverses all images and menus, and is necessary when the projector is used in rear-projection applications. The default is Off.

Ceiling Mode: This control flips the image so the projector can be used in ceiling mounted installations. The default setting, Auto, automatically determines the orientation using an internal sensor.
