About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 32 types of preset data for input 
signals (the preset memory). When the preset signal is 
input, the projector automatically detects the signal 
type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset 
memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The 
memory number and signal type of that signal are 
displayed in the INPUT SETTING menu. 
You can also adjust the preset data through the INPUT 
SETTING menu.
This projector also has 20 types of user memories for 
INPUT-A into which you can save the setting of the 
adjusted data for an unpreset input signal. 
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a 
memory number is displayed as 0. When you adjust 
the data of the signal in the INPUT SETTING menu, 
it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 
user memories are registered, the newest memory 
always overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 43 to find if the signal is 
registered to the preset memory.
Since the data is recalled from the preset memory 
about the following signals, you can use these preset 
data by adjusting SIZE H. Make fine adjustment by 
adjusting SHIFT.
Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal is other than 4:3, a part of the 
screen is displayed in black. 
Adjusting Picture Quality of a 
Signal from the Computer
You can automatically adjust to obtain the clearest 
picture when projecting a signal from the computer.
1 Project a still picture from the computer.
2 Press the APA button.
When the picture is adjusted properly, “complete” 
appears on the screen.
Notes
Press the APA button when the full image is displayed on the 
screen. If there are black edges around the image, the APA 
function will not function properly and the image may extend 
beyond the screen.
If you switch the input signal or re-connect a computer, press 
the APA button again to get the suitable picture. 
To restore the original screen, press the APA button again 
during the adjustment.
The picture may not be adjusted properly depending on the 
kinds of input signals.
Adjust the items in the INPUT SETTING menu when you 
adjust the picture manually. (1 page 19)

							GB 22About a “Memory Stick”
Using a “Memory 
Stick”
Using a “Memory Stick”
This section describes how to view the still images 
that are recorded by a digital camera and stored in a 
“Memory Stick.”  You can make a slide show using 
the images, display an index screen of the images, etc.
About a “Memory 
Stick”
On “Memory Stick”s
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and 
versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity 
that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is 
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital 
data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. 
Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be 
used for external data storage. 
Types of “Memory Stick”s
There are two types of “Memory Stick”s: MagicGate 
“Memory Stick”s that are equipped with the 
MagicGate copyright protection technology and 
general “Memory Stick”s. You can use both types of 
“Memory Stick” with your projector. However, 
because your projector does not support the 
MagicGate standards, data recorded in the “Memory 
Stick” is not subject to MagicGate copyright 
protection.  
On MagicGate
MagicGate is copyright protection technology that 
uses encryption technology. 
Format that can be displayed with this 
projector
Image data recorded with a digital camera and 
recorded on a Memory Stick in the following format:
Images (DCF-compatible) compressed in the JPEG 
(Joint Photographic Experts Group) format 
(extension: .jpg)
Before using a “Memory Stick”
You cannot rotate or erase still images when the 
write-protect tab on the “Memory Stick” is set to 
LOCK.
We recommend backing up important data.
Image data may be damaged in the following cases:
– If you remove the “Memory Stick,” turn the power 
off, or detach the battery for replacement when the 
access lamp is flashing.
– If you use a “Memory Stick” near static electricity 
or magnetic fields.
Notes
Prevent metallic objects or your finger from coming into 
contact with the metal parts of the connecting section.
Do not attach any other material than the supplied label onto the 
label space. 
Attach the label to the prescribed labeling position. Make sure 
the label is attached to the labeling position properly.  
Do not bend, drop or apply strong shock to a “Memory Stick.”
Do not disassemble or modify a “Memory Stick.”
Do not let the “Memory Stick” get wet.
Do not use or keep a “Memory Stick” in locations that are:
– Extremely hot such as in a car parked in the sun or under the 
scorching sun.
– Under direct sunlight.
– Very humid or subject to corrosive gases.
When you carry or store a “Memory Stick,” put it in its case.
About formatting “Memory Stick”s
When “Memory Stick”s are shipped from the factory, 
they are already formatted to a special standard 
format.  When you format “Memory Stick”s, we 
recommend formatting them on this unit.
Caution when formatting “Memory Stick”s 
on a personal computer
Pay attention to the following points when formatting 
“Memory Stick”s on the personal computer, for 
example, that you are using.
Operation of “Memory Stick”s formatted on the 
personal computer is not guaranteed on this unit.  To 
use a “Memory Stick” that has been formatted on the 
personal computer, the “Memory Stick” must be 
reformatted on this unit.  Note that in this case all data 
stored on the “Memory Stick” will be lost.
