Section 3: Operation

Shown at right is a sample channel list as would be available from Channel . This is typically called the channel list.

NOTE: The Channel key may display a channel list or not, depending on what you have defined for “Display Channel List” (see Menu Preferences later in this section).

In order to access channels by using on the keypad, you must first create the channels. See below.

Channel List

Creating a New f To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be added to projector

Channel

memory so that the projector will respond properly to an input signal from that source

– AUTOMATIC –

in the future. A new channel can be created automatically, as described here, or it can

 

be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary (see Copying or

 

Deleting Channels later in this section).

 

When you select a direct input ( Input 1 , Input 2 , Input 3 , Input 4 , Input 5 ), any existing channels in

 

the projector are searched for matching input and signal parameters – this only occurs

 

if Auto Source is enabled on these channels. If no match to the incoming input signal

 

is found in currently-defined channels, a new channel is temporarily created based on

 

factory-defined defaults for this type of signal. The channel number assigned is the

 

lowest available number from 01-50.

 

NOTES: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its

 

parameters are changed, and will not appear in the channel list (see below). 2) If two

 

channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal

 

of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as

 

distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.

 

If the incoming signal does match an existing channel, the image will be set up and

 

displayed as usual according to the parameters currently defined for that channel.

 

USING A CHANNEL: You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing Channel

 

(see right). If you want to

list unless a parameter for the channel has been changed.
