OPERATION
Shown at right is a sample channel list as
would be available from Chan . This is typically
called the channel list.
NOTE: The Chan key may display a channel list
or not, depending on what you have defined for
"Display Channel List" (see Menu
Preferences later in this section).
In order to access channels by using Chan on
the keypad, you must first create the channels.
Channel List
See below.
Creating a New
'
To use a new source with the projector, a new channel must be added to projector
Channel
memory so that the projector will respond properly to an input signal from that
– AUTOMATIC –
source in the future. A new channel can be created automatically, as described here,
or it can be copied from an existing channel and then edited as necessary (see
Copying or Deleting Channels later in this section).
When you select a direct input ( , , Input 3 , Input 4 , Input 5 or Input 6 ), any existing
Input 1 Input 2
channels in the projector are searched for matching input and signal parameters. If no
match to the incoming input signal is found in currently-defined channels, a new
channel is temporarily created based on factory-defined defaults for this type of
signal. The channel number assigned is the lowest available number from 01-50.
NOTES: 1) An automatic channel will be discarded unless one or more of its
parameters are changed, and will not appear in the channel list (see below). 2) If two
channels have the same distinguishing source characteristics except for the reversal
of sync connectors (i.e., H-sync and V-sync, are switched), they are still defined as
distinct channels. 3) You cannot define a new channel without an incoming signal.
If the incoming signal does match an existing channel, the image will be set up and
displayed as usual according to the parameters currently defined for that channel.
USING A CHANNEL:
You can normally select a channel at any time by pressing Chan
(see right). If you want to
prevent a channel from
appearing in this list, you
must edit the channel as
described in Channel Edit
later in this section. Such a
channel can still be
selected by entering its
number as shown at right.
NOTES: 1) The current channel is highlighted upon entering the channel list, or, if
this channel is not displayed here, the first channel in the list is highlighted. 2)
Channels created automatically do not appear in the channel list unless a parameter
for the channel has been changed.
