LAMP POWER If your room is especially dark, the images from the system c3X could result execessively bright. In order to enjoy wonderful images, the EcOMODE function activation allows to re du ce the power used to feed the lamp. In this way, the brightness of the image will be adapted to your projection conditions and a grater life lamp will be guaranteed. POWER ON If active (AUTO) allows to power up the system directly from the power feeder, once the initializing phase is completed. If not active (STAND-BY) once the initializing phase is completed the system remains in a stand-by mode waiting to receive the power on command from the remote control or the key pad. TEST PATTERNS Displays a series of five test patterns, useful for the installation of the projector. Press ◀ and ▶ keys to browse pattern. FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the projector to original factor y settings except Position, Orientation, Y/c Delay, Zoom and Focus (Fig. 9). No Confirm? Yes ON SCREEN MENU LANGUAGE Lists the languages available for the On Screen Display menus. SOURCE LIST In order for the c3X system to be more flexible, the following described functions allow to modify the input selection menu making it more user friendly. The main window shows all the inputs available on the Projector. If one or more inputs are not utilized, it is often helpful to blank them from the input list (accessed with the 0 key). Once the input has been chosen, in the drop menu that ap- pears by pressing the ◀ key, it is possible to activate the source (Fig. 30). The exclusion or activation of the source will automatically renumber the remaining active inputs. 2 S-VIDEO 4 GRAPHICS RGB 3 COMPONENT / RGBS 1 VIDEO 1234 S-VIDEO 3 GRAPH RGB 9 COMP RGB 5 VIDEO 1 55HDMIHDMI 5 Source list/Edit source name ACTIVA NAME Yes No Fig.30 The inputs with an active video signal (visible in the input selec- tion menu) are marked with a check symbol. It can be also helpful to identify the input with a name chosen by the user (for example with the name of the connected source) rather than with the signal type. Once chosen to have the input visible, in the drop menu, by selecting the Name option it is possible to rename the source in use. This will make it easier to remember the source connected to Fig. 9
a specific input. You can use up to 1 alphanumeric letters to name the source (for more details check the “Insert text ” section). INSERT TEXT You will be able to insert text easily and rapidly by accessing the text insertion menu (fig. 31). #ANCEL #ONFIRM %DITSOURCENAME !#$%& ()*+,-./ 0123 456 789: ??????????? Fig.31 The text insertion mode remains the same if text is being inserted for the first time or if a previously inserted name is being edi- ted. The letter insertion can be done in any available position (represented by horizontal lines). Use the ◀ and ▶ keys to move between letters either left or right respectively. Press the numeric key matching the letter (Fig. 3), the first click of the key selects the first letter, the second click the second letter and so on. The available letters are shown in the text insertion menu. Once one letter has been inserted, to insert the following one it is necessar y to move with the cursor in the next right position with the ▶ key of the remote control, repeat this procedure to insert other letters. Use the ▲ key to switch from small case to capital letters and viceversa. Any mistake can be deleted with the ▼ key once it has been positioned on the wrong letter. Once the text insertion process is finished, it can be confirmed and saved by clicking the MENU+ key. If you want to delete the modifications use the MENU- key of the remote control. F1/F2 KEYS This allows to assign different functions to the remote control keys, named F1 and F. The window is made of 6 options, once for each line and by two columns showing the F1-F keys. The choice between F1 and F is made by the ◀ and ▶ keys of the remote control; the function given to F1 and F is chosen with the ▼ and ▲ keys. The function delivered by the key is memorized by the inter- section on the line and column. In the following window are described the 6 options Fig.3 Zoom Allows to access the optic zoom, where the ◀ and ▶ keys allow to increase or decrease the size of the projected image. Focus Once selected, the ◀ and ▶ keys allow to focus the image.MagnificationAllows you to select the area to be viewed and then magnify the projected image. The degree of enlargement is selected in Zoom mode (identified by a magnifying glass in the centre of the image) using the ◀ and ▶ keys. The area of the picture to be enlarged is selected in Pan mode (symbol in the centre of the picture) using the ◀,▶, ▼ and ▲ arrow keys. You can toggle between Zoom and Pan mode by pressing the F1/F key on the remote control. Blank Blanks the active video signal producing a completely black screen. Once pressed the key an indication of a few seconds on the OSD will confirm its activation. A click of any other key of the remote control allows to restore the previous settings.

SOURCE INFORMATION When active (YES) each source change will show the information related to the signal. If not active (NO) there will be no information on the selected source.. OSD BACKGROUND Determines the type of background for the On Screen Di- splay. OSD TIMEOUT Use this adjustment to set the display time after which the On Screen Display will disappear. OSD POSITION Allows the On Screen Display to be positioned in a particular area of the projected image. The OSD can be positioned using the arrow keys for fine adjustments or keys 1...9 on the remote control to select one of 9 preset positions. MEMORIES The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single command. There are 3 distinct Memories (Memor y 1, Memor y , Memor y 3) for each of the 5 signal types managed: making a total of 75 different available Memories. The image parameters that can be saved/recalled by the Memories management system are the following: Image Picture BRIGHTNESS ASPEcT cONTRAST cOLOR TEMP. cOLOR OVERScAN TINT GAMMA SHARPNESS FILTER SHARPNESS MODE VIDEO TYPE Setup NOISE REDUcTION LAMP POWER Some of these parameters may not be available for certain inputs or certain input signals, as indicated in Tables 4 and 5.

Rename a memory It is possible to assign a name to each Memor y. To assign a name (with a maximum length of 1 alphanumeric char- acters) to a Memor y, select the option ‘Rename’ from the corresponding pull-down menu. Enter the text following the procedure indicated in paragraph SOURcE LIST. Restore Current Settings On entering the MEMORIES menu, a copy of the current settings is saved in a temporary menu (labelled with 0 - AUTO). 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 0 - AUTO. However, this operation must be completed before the MEMORIES menu page disap- pears (30 seconds after the last operation commanded from the remote control or the keypad). The next time it appears, the temporar y memor y will contain new information that takes into account any Memories selected the penultimate time the ‘Memories’ page was accessed. Memor y 0 (- AUTO) can be used even when you do not wish to enable the Memories management function for the signal currently 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. INFO Displays the current status of the projector and information concerning the projected video/graphic signal. This function is displayed on pressing on the remote control (or, in the absence of the On Screen Display, the ▶ key on the remote control).
5 QUICK MENUS The quick menus provide access to the main adjustments that affect image quality, without calling the main On Screen menus. BRIGHTNESS, cONTRAST , cOLOUR , TINT , SHARPNESS and FILTER adjustments appear at the bottom of the screen one after the other when the ▼ and ▲ keys are pressed . MESSAGES The following messages may appear during operation of the system: 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 sour- ce are compatible with the system’s technical specifications 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 c3X specifica- tions (e.g. a QXGA graphic signal) or when an input is supplied with an incompatible signal (e.g. after setting the components input to YPrPb 15kHz a progressive signal is connected). Substitution lamp If the lamp hours exceed the 90% of the life lamp, at ever y switching on , a brief message appears on the screen to re- member the need of replacing it in a short time. If the lamp life is greater than 100% the message above persists until the ESc key is pressed.
6 11 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE No power (Green and red LED are OFF) • check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I. • check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a working socket. • check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector. • Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type (T 5A H ) (Fig. ). (Fig. ). • Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical assi- stance. The lamp is not coming on • Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down sufficiently. • If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance from your nearest Dealer. No image • check that the selected input is actually connected to a active video or graphic signal. • check that the above source actually works. • Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical specifications of the projector. • check the integrity of cables used to connect various sour- ces. • c heck the cooling air inlets or air outlets on the units are not obstructed and the room temperature is below 35°c (95°F). Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy • Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical specifications of the projector. • check the integrity of cables connecting projector to various sources. • If the signal source is a terrestrial broadcast (via a Vc R) check that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and that the aerial system is in good working order. • Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “ first generation” copy and in good condition. • Adjust the VcR’s tracking control for optimum picture per- formance. Ensure the VcR mode is active in the Picture menu. Incomplete image along borders (vertical and horizontal) • compare compatibility of video/graphic signals and tech- nical specifications of your projector. • Press A on your remote control or AUTO on keypad to execute automatic adjustments. 10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The Projector do not require internal cleaning.
