When the box is checked, the action will occur under
these circumstances:
• When a new source is detected that has not been
detected before. (see "About the input memories" on
page 62 and "Input system caches" on page 69.)
• When you press the
SETUP
Retry on lost signal occurs only when the present signal
(picture) disappears or changes in some way. If this item is
not checked, the GX40 will not try to sync to a new signal.
Keep this menu item checked.
Note that searching will not happen just because the pic-
ture goes black. Black, from video or from a computer, is a
valid picture. The signal itself (the sync pulses) must be lost
to trigger a search.
The several Do items in this menu will, if checked, happen
in these situations:
• If a new signal is acquired, either through a search to a
different connector or because source picture changed
modes, such as from WXGA to UXGA, each of the
checked items occurs in the order listed in the menu.
• When you press the

About the input memories
The GX40 has a ten input memories for storing the most
recent attributes of the pictures it displays. When a new pic-
ture arrives that is near enough to a previous type, it uses
the stored attributes rather than automatically adjusting
brightness, contrast, frequency, etc.
For example, suppose the GX40 sees an analog WXGA
picture and auto-adjusts everything in the Auto Options
Menu. Then you change the Brightness and Contrast. Then
you change computers and feed in a UXGA picture.
If you now switch back to the computer with the WXGA
picture, GX40 will use the Brightness, Contrast, as well as
other settings, from the last time it saw a WXGA picture.
Aspect Ratio is specific to the source, which
means it applies to all modes. It does not change
when the system recalls a memory from cache.
