Projector set-up

Power-up mode

The projector can start up in two different modes. The start up mode is determined by the position of DIP Switch No. 4 of another set of 8 DIP switches on the controller board (one set of 8 switches are used for projector address setting).

Position of the DIP Switch No. 4 (power up mode) : ON : operational mode.

OFF : stand-by mode (Factory preset).

Operational mode

When the power switch on the rear of the projector is pressed, the projector displays the last selected source if available, otherwise it remains on that source number until the source becomes available.

The on screen indication is only available when the "Text" function is set to "ON".

Stand-By mode

When the power switch on the rear of the projector is pressed, the projector starts up in the stand-by mode. The stand-by key on the RCU is used to turn the projector ON and OFF.

Baud Rate for communication with a computer

The communication speed between the projector and the computer has 8 possible settings. With DIP Switch No. 6, No.7 and No.8 of the 8 DIP switches on the controller board, labelled as ‘Baud rate code (sum)’, it is possible to select the baud rate (communication speed). Each DIP switch has its own decimal value. The sum of the values associated to those DIP switches gives the baud rate code. Each baud rate code corresponds an communication speed.
