Menu Lists GB 36 Using the Menus About the Preset Memory No. This projector has 35 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 INFORMATION 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 73 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 “H size.” Make fine adjustment by adjusting “Shift.” Note When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, 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 (Auto Pixel Alignment) button. When the picture is adjusted properly, “complete!” appears on the screen. Notes When “Smart APA” is set to “On,” the APA function is automatically activated. Press the APA button when the image appears on the whole display area of the computer. 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. When a signal of which the timing is the same as the “Memory No.23” or the “Memory No.72” signal (refer to the “Preset Signals” chart) is input, if the polarity of the synchronized signal is different, the input signal may be misjudged and the image may not appear properly (incorrect aspect ratio or lack of a part of the image). In this case, press the APA button to adjust the image. This APA processing time may be longer than the APA processing time of signal in another case. If the image does not still appear properly, input the signal as described in the following example, then press the APA button again. Example: display of whitish wallpaper with a window’s bar in the lower part The picture may not be adjusted properly depending on the types of input signals. Adjust the items in the INPUT SETTING menu when you adjust the picture manually.
