= Composite

A = Anamorphic

ON = Power on

L = LetterBox

OF = Power off

= Component

S = Standard (4:3)

= Pass Through

H = HDTV (for pass through)

 

 

 

C = Computer (for pass through)

 

To keep the currently selected aspect ratio or input, replace the letter/number with a dash "-" Each command must be followed by a carriage return <CR>.

Examples:

2L will select the component input and change the aspect ratio to letterbox

-A will change the aspect ratio to anamorphic, but leave the input selection alone 1- will change the input to S-Video, but leave the aspect ratio alone

RS-232 Projector Control requires a cable terminated with male RJ-11 jacks at both ends. Wiring is the same as for a phone (ie. in a cross configuration).
