							SELECT Command
Channel selection can be made in two ways, by simply keying in the channel
number on the remote control or by selection in the Channel Set-up screen. Using
the remote control is quicker if you know the channel number required, but if you
dont, the Channel Set-up screen will remind you. 
To select a channel using the On Screen Display, first choose Channel Set-up
from the the Main Menu and locate the cursor over the desired channel using the
ñand òbuttons. Highlight SELECT from the options at the bottom of the screen
using the 
ïand ðbuttons and press Enter to display the selected channel.
If a blank channel is selected, the image display will turn black and a message box
will be overlaid stating- Channel XX not configured
If a valid channel is selected but a source is not detected at the input, the screen will
go black until the signal is connected. A message box will be overlaid stating-
Source is not Present.
If a valid channel is selected but the detected source is different from that expected,
a message box will be overlaid stating- Source is not the expected configuration. 
The system will do its best to display the image using the parameters of the 
selected channel.
If a channel configured for a computer is selected and the projector does not
identify a computer card mode which matches the incoming signal, the screen will
display an image using the system default parameters. These parameters, such as
size and position, are stored in the system memory. An on-screen message also
appears  stating- New mode will be lost if not saved or if channel is changed. The
display will then have to be adjusted manually to give an optimum image (Refer to
Storing System Configurations, B—15 for further details).

							NEW Command
The NEW command allows you to set up a channel for a new input device. When
you are in the Channel Set-up menu, highlight an empty channel and select NEW.
Assuming you have enough memory left in the projector, you will enter the NEW
function. The default parameters as specified in the User Preferences menu will be
automatically entered in the data fields. These parameters can be modified as
required. If you need to define specific size, position or computer mode parameters,
this can be done using the MODIFY command after creating the new channel.
It is not essential to have the signal source present to create a new channel.
The main areas on the screen include the channel name, input, configuration,
switcher details, sync, colour temperature and aspect ratio.
Name- The channel name can be up to 14 characters 
Input- The source input should be set according to the input to be used on the rear

							MODIFY Command
The MODIFY option in the Channel Set-up screen allows you to change certain
parameters for individual channels. The definable parameters in the Modify
