Functions for Enhancing ProjectionThis section describes the various useful functions that can be used to enhance 
presentations.A/V Mute Function
This function momentarily pauses the images and sound.
For example, it can be used when you do not wish to show details of 
operations such as selecting different files while computer images are 
being projected.
However, if you use this function when projecting moving images, the 
images and sound will still continue to be played back by the source, and 
you cannot return to the point where the A/V Mute function was activated.PROCEDUREPress the [A/V Mute] button on either the remote control 
or the projectors control panel.
The images and sound will then be paused.
Press the [A/V Mute] button once more to continue normal 
projection.
You can also continue normal projection by pressing the [ESC] key 
on either the remote control or the projectors control panel.You can use the A/V Mute command in the Setting menu to set 
the screen appearance when the images and sound have been paused 
to any one of the following three settings.   p.86

users logo by recording and setting your own logo.   p.138
 If the screen appearance when using the A/V Mute function is set to 
Black, the signals being input to the projector can still be viewed 
on an external monitor even when the A/V Mute function is being 
used. You can use the [Source] buttons on the remote control to 
select the input source while viewing the images on the external 
monitor at this time.   p.33, p.43
