shimmering in a graphic image. Press the upper or lower SYNC
key until the image stabilizes.
VIDEO Key
The VIDEO key is used to switch between computer video input,
NTSC/PAL/SECAM video input, or S-VHS input. This key is
only operational on Audio/video-enabled models.
Note:  If you would like to add video to audio-enabled models,
you can order the Video Adapter Kit (A195). See Appendix B for
ordering information.

VOLUME
Use this setting to adjust the volume. Use the up or down arrow
key to increase or decrease the volume level.
Note:  For optimal sound control when using an external
amplifier (such as a stereo system), preset the VOLUME setting
to 50% (5 bars) before adjusting the volume on the amplifier to a
comfortable listening level.
RGB Controls: RED, GREEN & BLUE
The RED, GREEN and BLUE controls are used to individually
adjust the color signals. Use the up or down arrow key to increase
or decrease the color signal level. These settings are simultaneously
increased or decreased when the BRIGHTNESS control is
adjusted.
TINT
The TINT setting (R and G) adjusts the Red or Green color
balance for NTSC/PAL/SECAM video or S-video sources. It has
no effect in other video modes. Use the up or down arrow keys to
adjust the color signal balance.
SIG LEVEL
The SIG LEVEL setting is used by Audio/video-enabled models
for NTSC/PAL/SECAM or S-VHS video contrast adjustment.
Use the up or down arrow key to adjust the contrast in the

SOURCE
SOURCE is both a status and selection box. When you connect a
video input to an Audio/video-enabled model, this setting
identifies the input source detected by the projector.
If the projector detects an NTSC source, it defaults to that
setting. The projector cannot tell the difference between PAL or
SECAM. When PAL or SECAM is used, the Desktop Projector
defaults to PAL. The SOURCE setting allows you to select
SECAM as the video source input. (Use the STORE command to
set SECAM as the default.)
The Desktop Projector selects the best possible value based on the
incoming signal. If the image doesnÕt look right (wrong colors,
image is off screen, image wonÕt sync properly, etc.), use the up or
down arrow keys to make an alternate selection.
The Setup
Menu 
						

							3Ð8  ¥  UserÕs Guide Chapter 3  ¥  Using the Desktop Projector
The projector can store a full set of values for each video mode.
This allows you to switch between video inputs and retain your
adjusted settings. When the projector starts up, it automatically
returns to the last-stored entries for each video mode.
Note:  If you would like to add video to audio-enabled models,
you can order the Video Adapter Kit; see Appendix B for ordering
information.
IMAGE
This control allows you to switch between NORMAL and
REVERSE video modes.
Note:  REVERSE video inverts the colors your monitor and
projector normally display. For example, a text screen with a light
background and dark characters will display light colored text and
a dark background in reverse video mode.  REVERSE video is
used primarily for viewing text screens.
COLORS
This setting allows you to select the color mode most suitable for
the type of image youÕre projecting. Use the Up or Down arrow
key to cycle through the choices.

PROJECTION
This function flips the projected image for rear screen projection.
PROJECTION can be used in all video modes. Use the up or
down arrow keys to switch between FORWARD and REAR
options.
FREQUENCY
This adjustment allows you to synchronize the Desktop Projector
with your video source. For example, if your computer has a video
card with non-standard signal components (i.e., h-sync or v-sync),
the projected image may look jittery, contain bands, or appear
out-of-focus.  Use the up or down arrow keys until you find the
setting that projects the best image.
Note: Always try to adjust SYNC to correct image problems
before changing the FREQUENCY setting.

LANGUAGE
LANGUAGE allows you to select the language for the Menu
Window. You can choose between English, German, Italian,
French and Spanish. Use the Up or Down arrow key to cycle
through the choices.
STORE?
This function lets you save the current settings in both menus.
The saved settings will be used until you either define new settings
or return to the factory-configured defaults. If you change the
settings but donÕt store them, they will revert to the last-stored
settings the next time you turn on the projector.
When you store new settings, they overwrite any values previously
defined for that particular mode. Stored settings are retained even
after the projector is turned off.
SETTINGS
This function allows you to retrieve the default factory settings for
the current option in the SOURCE field. Use the up or down
arrow keys to cycle through the following options:
¥ FACTORY Ð Recalls the initial factory settings. These will
be used until you define new settings.
¥ STORED Ð Recalls your last saved settings for the current
video source.
¥ CURRENT Ð Indicates that changes have been made, are in
use, and have not yet been saved.
