Chapter 3 • Operating the System 5cr

Select format for VID1 and/or VID2.

To set these two inputs for either Composite or S-video, in Config Mode, do the following:

1b. Press and hold the Room button until finished with this operation. After 2 seconds, one of the VID1 LEDs lights.

2b. Press VID1 to toggle between VID (Video) and Y/C (S-video) formats.

3b. Repeat step 2b to select the format to set the format for the VID2 input.

4b. Release the Room button to go back to Config mode.

5b. While in Config mode, you may go directly to another procedure, wait for 20 second time-out or press all 3 Display buttons for 2 seconds to exit.

Learn Infrared Signals from other devices’ remote controls

This procedure is only necessary if the IR driver is not available for the system projector, or is not complete. A flow chart of the learning procedure is shown in Figure 3-2d and a table of LED codes is shown in Figure 3-2e. In Setup Mode, do this:

1c. Press the panel button to be programmed and hold it for 2 seconds. The Config LED blinks.

2c. Point the IR remote source at the System 5 IR Remote window and press the button briefly, but firmly, for the signal to be “learned”.

_______ It may be necessary to hold remote as near as 1/2 inch and point it

directly into the IR window. It may also help to block out ambient light, such as from fluorescent sources.

The Config LED remains On while TX & Retry LEDs flash to indicate that the operation is complete. (If Retry blinks once and TX - Off, repeat this step). See LED codes in Figure 3-2e below.

_______ The Display Power button learns 2 signals. After learning the 1st signal

(e.g. Power On), the Config and Retry LEDs blink to indicate that it is ready to learn the second signal (Power Off). Double-click the Power button and repeat step 2c to learn the second signal.

3c. Repeat steps 1c and 2c to program the next button.

4c. While in Config mode, you may go directly to another procedure, wait for 20 second time-out or hold all 3 Display buttons for 2 seconds to exit.

________ Once the display device (projector) has been programmed to operate

from the System 5cr, those same control functions should not be done from the projector because the System 5 has no way of knowing what was done at the projector. That is, if the projector was turned on at the System 5 and turned off from the projector panel, the System 5 thinks the projector is still on.
