Projection Operations

Auto Input Source Selection

When you turn on the projector, it checks the status of each input source (whether or not the input source is sending a signal) in the sequence shown below. It automatically selects the first input source it finds that is sending an input signal, and projects the applicable image.

If the RGB input terminal is connected to a computer and the S-VIDEO input terminal is connected to a video deck and signals are being supplied by both, for example, the projector automatically selects RGB input when it is turned on. The currently selected input source name is shown in the upper right corner of the projection screen.

zIf the projector does not find any input signal, the message “No signal input” appears in place of the input source name.

zWhether the displayed input source name shows [RGB] or [Component] depends on the current “Input Settings J RGB Input” (page 85) setting that is configured on the

projector’s setup menu.

If the input source name shows this:

It means this input is selected:

menu.
