The control panel
The projector control panel is designed to be read from the front or rea\
r of the 
projector, for ease of use.
The menu navigation keys are similar to those on the remote control, and\
 are 
described in detail in Using the menus, later in this section.
POWER  Press this once to switch the projector ON or twice to switch it to 
STANDBY mode.
SOURCE  Press this repeatedly to cycle through the input sources, in the 
following order:
  HDMI 1, HDMI 2, RGB, Composite 1, Composite 2, Video, 
S-Video, HDMI 1...
 If you select a source that IS connected and active, the projector 
will automatically adjust to the  parameters of the signal, and 
display it.
 If you select a source that is NOT connected or active, the 
projector will continue searching through the input sources until it 
finds a valid signal.
LED status indicators
The indicators on the control panel are as follows:
POWER off = NO POWER or normal RUNNING mode
 steady blue = STANDBY mode
 flashing blue = WARM-UP or  COOL-DOWN mode
ISSUE off = NO ERROR flashing or steady red = ERROR
Notes
 Many features are controlled 
from the menus using the menu 
navigation keys on the remote 
control or the projector control 
panel.
 For more information about 
using the menus, see later in 
this section, Using the menus.
 Always allow the lamp to cool 
for 5 minutes before:
 - moving the projector 
- changing the lamp
  If the red ISSUE indicator is 
illuminated continuously or 
flashing, see Error Codes in 
section 6.  Appendix, for more 
information

Notes
 Many features are controlled 
from the menus using the menu

 In most situations, you can 
simply point the remote control 
at the screen which will reflect 
the IR signal from the remote 
back toward the receiver on the 
projector.
  In some cases, however, 
ambient conditions may prevent 
this. In this case, point the 
remote control directly at the 
projector.

Theaterscope the image is scaled such that a 2.35:1 image will be displayed 
at the correct aspect ratio when the projector is fitted with an 
anamorphic lens. Thus an image with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 
can be displayed using the full 16:9 resolution of the DMD.
4:3   the image is scaled to fit a 4:3 screen, using the full height of the 
DMD.
4:3 Narrow  to be used for 4:3 images in combination with an anamorphic 
lens. The image is scaled to fit the DMD vertically, but squeezed 
horizontally such that the lens will stretch it to the correct ratio.
Native  the image is displayed with no scaling, at its original resolution, in 
the centre of the screen.
