3.4 Saving and Recalling the Settings
It is important to save the settings. Saving the settings means that every time the unit turns on, it
knows whet it is supposed to do to look right. It also means that if you change something
experimentally, you can go back to where you were before.
The "settings" refers to everything you setup
through the menus: Source, Frequency, Phase,
Color Balance, Position, Flip Horz, Buzzer on or
off—everything. After you save all this, you can
change anything, then easily recall the saved
settings. The display unit always turns on with
the saved values.
✎
Note: It is a good idea to save the settings several
times as you adjust the displays. This way, if
anything happens, at least some of your
work is saved.
How to Save, Recall, or Reset
The illustrations on the facing page show
Recall, but Reset and Save operate and respond
in a similar way.
1. On the remote control, press
opens the Reset menu. Press
to go to the Save menu, and again to go to
the Recall menu. (One more press of
clears the menu off the screen.)
RESET
2. Press the left-right arrows to select ALL or
one of the specific memories as listed on
the right under Source. (See "Each input
has a separate memory" on this page.)
3. Press the down arrow to highlight the
word below: Reset, Save or Recall, depend
on which menu you are using.
4. Press
. Now you are asked, "Are you
ENTER
sure?" and the cursor is on No.
5. Left arrow to Yes. Press
6. Yes - No is replaced by "Resetting Set-
tings" (or Saving or Recalling settings).
How saving/recalling works
As the upper diagram shows, there are three
places where settings are stored. The first
storage place is the Active Settings. This is what
the unit is actually doing when it is on. If you
change anything, this is where the change
3 - 26
. This
RESET
again
RESET
.
ENTER
occurs. (Actually, the Active Settings isn't really
a memory. When the power goes off, everything
in this register is lost. However, on power up,
the Saved Memory is copied into Active
Settings.)
The second storage place is Saved Memory.
When you Save, a copy of the contents of Active
Settings is placed in Saved Memory. When you
Recall settings, a copy of Saved Memory is
placed in Active Settings, and the unit follows
these instructions. Saved Memory is not lost
when the power goes off, even if the AC power
is lost.
The third storage place is Factory Default
Values. Of course, you can't change these. If you
get things all tangled, you can always Reset to
the original factory settings. This will not
change the Saved Memory settings. It simply
puts the factory defaults into Active Settings.
This way you can compare what you saved with
what the factory settings were without destroy-
ing any saved values.
If you want to put the Factory Default values
into Saved Memory, first Reset and then Save.
✎
Note: The factory default values are not the "best"
values. If you Reset to the default values,
Black Level, White Level, Frequency and
Phase won't be right, because the factory
did not have the particular computer you are
using as a source. Color Balance values
won't be right either; they will all be 031 and
007 for white and gray.
Each input has a separate memory.
PC1, PC2, C-Video and S-Video each have a
separate memory. Changing the values for PC2
does not change the values for PC1. When you
switch to PC1 with Source Select, the values
that were saved for PC1 are automatically recall-
ed into the Active Memory.
