In order to make the D80E system increasingly flexible, the fun-
ctions described below make it possible to modify the inputs 
selection  menu  and  adapt  it  so  that  it  matches  the  require-
ments of the user more closely. The main page displays all the 
inputs physically present on the projector.
You  can  delete  any  inputs  which  are  not  in  use.  To  do  this, 
select  the  input  in  the  pull  down  menu  which  appears  when 
you  press  ◀,  and  choose  whether  to  activate  or  deactivate 
the input (Fig.29).
The deactivation or activation of the source results in automatic 
renumbering of the remaining active inputs.

Active video signal sources (shown in the inputs selection menu) 
are distinguished by tick symbols.
It  can  useful  to  identify  the  input  with  a  user  defined  name 
rather than the type of signal (for example, with the name of 
the connected device).
To do this, in the pull down menu select 
NAME and rename the 
source. 
This makes it easier to remember which source is connected to 
a given input; you can use up to 12 alphanumeric characters 
for the name (for further details, see 
 ENTERING TExT).

The function performed by the key is confirmed by the appea -
rance of a dot on the corresponding column-row intersection 
(Fig 31).
The following menu options are available.

The  main  picture  parameters  can  be  saved  in  discrete  sets 
of  values  called  “

applied as a group using a single command.
There are 6 distinct Memories (Memor y 1, Memor y 2, Memor y 
3)  for each of the 8 signal types managed:

Recalling a memory
To retrieve memories select the required line and press  ▶. The 
parameters  stored  in  the  selected  memor y  will  be  applied 
to  the  displayed  image,  while  a  confirmation  message  will 
be displayed to confirm the operation ‘Memor y 1 recalled.’. 
The Memor y recalled will be associated with the source and 
signal type, and will be automatically recalled ever y time that 
particular source and signal type combination is selected.
Restore memory to original settings
To restore the original values of a previously modified Memor y, 
select  the  line  relative  to  the  Memor y  in  question  and  open 
the  corresponding  drop-down  menu  (◀  key).  Select  the  line 
‘Save initial settings’. 
To confirm the operation, the message ‘Initial settings saved in 
Memor y 1’ is shown at the bottom of the display and the letter 
“I” appears to the left of the memor y name.
Rename a memory
All Memories can be named. To assign a name (with a ma-
ximum length of 12 alphanumeric characters) to a Memor y, 
select the option ‘Rename’ from the corresponding pull-down 
menu. The text is input in accordance with the method descri-
bed in the heading 
TExT INSERT.
Restore current values

Restore current values
When  you  enter  the 
MEMORIES  menu  a  copy  of  the  current 
settings  is  saved  in  a  temporar y  memor y  (designated  by 
0

). Once one or more memories have been recalled, you 
can restore the settings that were effective at the moment the 
Memories menu was accessed by selecting 
Memor y ‘0’(0 - AUTO). 
Note that this operation must be executed before the 
Memories’ 
menu page disappears (30 seconds after the final operation 
with the remote control or keypad). The next time it appears, 
in  fact,  the  temporar y  memor y  will  contain  new  information 
that takes account of any Memories that were selected in the 
penultimate access to the ‘
MEMORIES page.
Memor y 0 can be used even when you do not wish to enable 
Memories management for the signal in use. Once Memor y 0 
has been selected, when a source is chosen, the settings that 
were effective at the time the  Memor y was previously recalled 
will be automatically applied.

MESSA gES
The following messages could appear on your screen:
No Signal
The  system  does  not  recognise  any  signal  applied  to  the  se-
lected input. In this case: •   Make  sure  the  selected  input  is  connected  to  a  video 
or  graphic  signal  and  that  that  source  is  functioning  cor -
rectly.
•   Check  the  condition  of  the  cables  used  to  connect  the 
system to the various sources.
•   Make  sure  the  video  or  graphic  signals  supplied  by  the 
source  are  compatible  with  the  system’s  technical  spe-
cifications  and,  in  particular,  with  those  of  the  selected 
input.
Out of range
This message appears when either the resolution or the vertical/
horizontal frequency of the input signal exceeds system specifi-
cations (e.g. a Q xGA graphic signal) or when an input is supplied 
with an incompatible signal (e.g. after setting the components 
input to YCrCb 15kHz a progressive signal is connected).

•   Check that the units’ power switches are set to I.
•   Check that the power cables are correctly connected to 
the units’ power sockets.
•   Check  the  condition  of  the  fuse  located  on  the  power 
socket on the rear of the projector.
•   Replace the fuse located on the projector’s power socket with an 
identical type (T 3,15A H).
•   If the fuse blows repeatedly, seek technical assistance from 
your nearest Dealer.
Lamp fails to switch on •   If this happens immediately after the last time the unit was 
switched off, allow a few minutes between switching off and 
switching on again. This will allow the lamp to cool down 
sufficiently.
•   If  the  lamp  fails  to  illuminate  -  even  though  the  unit  has 
had  time  to  cool  down  -  seek  technical  assistance  from 
your nearest Dealer.
•   Check the state of the connection by interpreting the code 
displayed by the system LEDs in accordance 
with Table 1.

•   Make  sure  the  video  or  graphic  signals  supplied  by  the 
source  are  compatible  with  the  D80E  system’s  technical 
specifications and, in particular, with those of the selected

nection by interpreting the code displayed  by the system 
LEDs.
•   Make sure the cooling air vents on the units are not blocked 
and that the ambient temperature is below 35°C.
image is disturbed, unstable or noisy •   Check  compatibility  of  the  video  or  graphic  signals  with 
the technical specifications of the system,  and specifically, 
with the specifications of the selected input.
•   Check all cables.
•   If  the  problem  occurs  on  a  terrestrial  broadcast  source 
signal,  check  that  the  receiver  has  been  correctly  tuned 
in and that the aerial system is in good working order.
•   If the problem occurs in a video signal from a videorecor -
der,  ensure  that  the  videotape  is  in  good  condition  and 
that 
VCR mode is active in the PICTURE menu.
•   Adjust  the  Sharpness  parameter  in  the 
PICTURE  menu  to 
optimise the projected image.
10  CLEANiNg AND MAiNTENANCE
The  projector  does  not  require  internal  adjustment.  There  are 
no user serviceable parts inside the projector. 
To  replace  the  bulb  or  any  other  repairs,  contact  your  local 
service centre.
To  clean  the  outer  cover  of  the  screen  use  a  soft  cloth  and 
moisten slightly if necessar y with water and a small amount of 
neutral soap. Do not rub the rear panel markings. The lens may be cleaned with a ver y soft, non-abrasive small 
brush, in order to remove dust particles. Alternatively, use a soft 
dr y cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens cleaning) 
to remove fingerprints and grease marks.
