Selecting a new signal that is close to one of the
listed signals in horizontal and vertical frequency
Selecting a new signal that is close to one of the listed signals in hori-
zontal and vertical frequency may not display the image correctly be-
cause the new signal is considered as one of the registered signals
listed in the Entry List. (In this case the Auto Adjust feature may not
work correctly.)
To use both signals, use different input terminal (RGB 1, RGB 2 or RGB
3) respectively, or assign specific remote keys for signals.
1. Cut an existing signal from the Entry List.

currently projected signal cannot be cut.
2) Press the ENTRY LIST button on the supplied remote control.
3) After selecting the existing signal, press and hold down the CTL button
and then the ENTER button simultaneously on the remote control. The
Entry Edit Command window will appear. Select Cut and press the ENTER
button.
The selected signal will be deleted from the Entry List. (The signal data is
stored in the clipboard.)
2. Select the new signal and enter it in the Entry List.
Press and hold down the CTL button and then press the ENTRY
LIST button simultaneously on the supplied remote control to enter
the signal in the Entry List.
3. Paste the signal data that was cut and placed in the clipboard in Step
1.
1) Select a vacant line in the Entry List.
2) Press and hold down the CTL and then ENTER buttons simultaneously to
display the Entry Edit Command window.
3) Select Paste and press the ENTER button on the remote control to add
the signal to the Entry List.
4. Assign the listed signals for direct keys respectively.
1) Select the one signal in the Entry List, and press and hold down the CTL
and the ENTER buttons simultaneously on the remote control to display
the Entry Edit Command window.
2) Select Edit and then press the ENTER button to display the Entry Edit
screen
3) Select Direct Key and press the ENTER button to display the Direct Key
screen.
4) Assign the signals for direct keys.
NOTE: Be sure not to disconnect the power cable while you are performing
step 1 to 3. Failure to do so will delete the signal data stored in the clipboard.
