3D: Displays 3D video images according to the 3D system 
selected in “3D Format.” However, when HDMI signals with 3D 
information are input to the unit, displays 3D video images 
according to the 3D system of those HDMI signals.

Using the Menus
Information Menu
The Information menu displays the model name, serial number, the horizontal and vertical 
frequencies of the input signal and the cumulated hours of usage of the lamp.
 fH (horizontal frequency) and fV (vertical frequency) may not be displayed depending on the input 
signal used on the unit.
 You cannot adjust or change the displays listed above.
This unit has 35 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the preset 
signal is input, the unit 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 Screen   menu.
This unit also contains 20 different user memories beside the preset memories used for 
analog computer signals. You can save input signals that have not been preset on these 
user memories. When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is 
displayed as 0. When you update the signal settings with “Adjust Signal” of the Screen 
 menu, it will be registered to the unit. If more than 20 user memories are registered, 
the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 79 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.
Depending on the computer input signal, parts of screen may be hidden or displayed incorrectly.Model nameDisplays the model name (VPL-VW1000ES).
