Operation

Trigger 1: Select Trigger 1 from the Control menu to specify when the Trigger 1 port outputs 12 volts. There is a three-second delay before activation to prevent operation while selecting an aspect ratio.

•Lamp causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the lamp is on.

•16:9 causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the 16:9 aspect ratio is chosen.

•Letterbox causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the Letterbox aspect ratio is chosen. The output stops if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything other than off).

•4:3 causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the 4:3 aspect ratio is chosen. The output stops if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything other than off).

•4:3 Narrow causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the 4:3 Narrow aspect ratio is chosen. The output stops if PIP is enabled (that is, the PIP source is set to anything other than off).

•RS232 causes the port to output 12 volts when an RS232 screen trigger 1 “on” command is received and stop when a trigger 1 “off” command is received. The 12 volt output also stops when the projector is turned off.

Trigger 2: Select Trigger 2 from the Control menu to configure the Trigger 2 output. Trigger 2 operates identically to Trigger 1.

Change Remote Code: To change the remote IR code set to which the PD7170 responds, select Change Remote Code from the Control menu and press ENTER. A “Change Remote Code Set?” message box appears. Select Yes to confirm the code set change.

You may need to change the code set if other equipment in the theater responds to commands from the PD7170 remote control in ways that are unexpected or undesirable.

When you select a different remote code set on the PD7170, you must re-program the remote control unit to use that same code set. To do this, press and hold the LIGHT and ENTER buttons simultaneously for approximately five seconds. When the code set has changed, the remote control back-lighting “blinks” to visually confirm the change.

Table 6-1lists the IR codes associated with each remote control button.

Auto Source: This control chooses whether or not to scan for other active sources if the current source is not available. The default setting is Off.
