Selecting an application mode

The projector is preset with several predefined application modes so that you can choose one to suit your operating environment and input source picture type. To select a operation mode that suits your need, press Mode. The picture modes available for different types of signals are shown below. See "Application Mode" on page 33 for details.

Switching input signal

The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only display one at a time. To cycle through the available input sources, press the Source button on the projector control panel or the remote control. The selected source name will display at the center of the screen for 3 seconds after each button press.

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 input type effects the options available for the Application Mode. See "Selecting an application mode" on page 29 for details.

Hiding the image

In order to draw the audience’s full attention to the presenter, you can use Blank to hide the screen image. Press any key on the control panel to restore the image. The word “BLANK” appears at the bottom right corner of the screen while the image is hidden. When this function is activated with an audio input connected, the audio can still be heard.

You can set the blank time in the Advance

--> Blank Time menu to let the projector return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action taken on the blank screen.

Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
