Saving and Resetting Menu Selections
Once you’ve adjusted the picture settings, you can save them as a group using the Memory 
feature. This lets you easily recall them and switch from one group of settings to another. You 
can save up to six groups of settings.
If necessary, you can use the projector’s reset options to restore its factory-default (original) 
settings. You can clear all the settings or just the settings in a specific menu. 
Creating Memory Settings
After adjusting the picture to your liking, you can save your settings as a group in the 
projector’s memory. This stores all the image quality settings described on pages 27 
through 30, plus the Aspect and Color Mode settings (pages 19 and 20).
1. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control.
2. Open the 
Image menu, then select Memory: Standard.
3. Select the memory name you want to use, then press the  button. Your settings are 
saved. 
Note: Saved settings are indicated by a green  highlight next to the memory name. If you 
select a name that is already in use, the existing contents will be erased and the new settings 
saved in their place. You can use Cinema Color Editor to customize the names of the settings 
(see page 47).
Once you have created one or more memory settings, you 
can easily recall them:
1. Press the 
Memory button on the remote control. 
2. If you’ve used Cinema Color Editor to create 
advanced memory settings, choose 
Standard or 
Advance to select the type of setting you want
to use.
3. Use the arrow buttons to select the desired setting, 
then press the  button. 
Note: Select Last Memory if you want to return to the 
last standard memory setting that was used (available 
only if you’ve created advanced memory settings using 
Cinema Color Editor).
After a moment, the image appears on the screen using your selected setting.

aspect ratio for the type of picture you’re viewing (see page 19). 
■Output Scaling

normally visible in the picture. Select 
Larger to view component video and RGB video at 
100% size and composite video and S-Video formats at 95%. (
Normal displays images at 
92% size.)
For analog-RGB computer signals, select 
Smaller to display a slightly smaller image 
if you see interference at the top or bottom of the screen. (
Normal displays images 
at 100%.)
■Position
Use the arrow buttons to fine-tune the position of the image on the screen.
■Zoom Caption
Lets you adjust the shape and position of the image so that subtitles are visible (available

■Input Signal
Adjust these settings for the type of equipment connected to the projector:
Video Signal: Leave this setting on Auto so the projector can automatically interpret 
the picture (only affects images displayed through the Video or S-Video port). 
Input A: Change this setting to match the type of equipment connected to the Input A 
port. If necessary, check the label on your equipment to match the setting.
D4: Change this setting to match the type of equipment connected to the D4 port (not 
used in the U.S.).
■COM Port
Select the type of port you’ve used to connect your PC or laptop for running the Cinema 
Color Editor software. Choose 
USB or RS-232C.
■Trigger Out
Turn on this setting if you want the Trigger out port to output a 12-volt signal while the 
projector is operating. You can use this to raise or lower your projection screen 
automatically. See page 15 for more information.
■Sleep Mode
Sleep mode shuts the projector off automatically after 30 minutes when there is no video 
signal. Turn off this setting if you don’t want the projector to enter sleep mode. Leave the 
setting on to conserve power and extend the life of the lamp.
■Lock Setting
Lets you lock the projector’s focus and zoom settings. Also lets you lock the buttons on 
the projector’s control panel or set a child lock that makes it more difficult to turn on the 
projector. See page 24 for details.
