FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the projector to original factory settings except Position, Orientation, Y/C Delay, Zoom and Focus. NoConfirm? Yes MENU LANGUAGELists the languages available for the On Screen Display me-nus. SOURCE LISTIn order for projector 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 appears by pressing the fl key, it is possible to activate the source (Fig. 35). The exclusion or activation of the source will automatically renumber the remaining active inputs. 2 S-VIDEO 4 GRAPHICS RGB 5 HDMI HDMI 1 VIDEO 123 COMP / RGB 345 S-VIDEO 3 COMP RGB 5 HDMI 12 VIDEO 1 S-VIDEO 4 Source list/Edit source name ACTIVE NAME Yes No Fig.35 The inputs with an active video signal (visible in the input se - lection 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 con - nected to a specific input. You can use up to 12 alphanumeric letters to name the source (for more details check the “Insert text” section) INSERT TEXTYou will be able to insert text easily and rapidly by accessing the text insertion menu (Fig.36)) Fig.36 The text insertion mode remains the same if text is being inser - ted for the first time or if a previously inserted name is being edited. The letter insertion can be done in any available position (represented by horizontal lines). Use the ‡ and fl keys to move between letters either left or right respectively. Press the numeric key matching the letter (Fig. 36), 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.
