About the preset memory No.
This projector has 38 kinds of preset data for input
signals for each INPUT A/B (the preset memory). The
memory number of the current input signal and the
signal type are displayed when the preset signal is
input. This projector automatically detects the signal
type. When the signal is registered to the preset
memory, a suitable picture is displayed on the screen
according to the signal type. You can adjust the picture
through the INPUT SETTING menu.
This projector also has 20 kinds of user memories for
each INPUT A/B. When an unpreset signal is input for
the first time, memory number is displayed as 00. If
the input signal is adjusted in the INPUT SETTING
menu, the setting via INPUT A is stored under the
memory number 51 to 70, and the setting via INPUT B
is stored under 71 to 90. When more than 20 user
memories are registered for each INPUT A/B, the
newest memory is automatically stored over the oldest
one.
