' Enter numbers directly from the keypad in order to specify numbers representing
projectors, channels (source setups), or slots. As each digit is entered, it is displayed
and the cursor moves on. Note that channel numbers are defined with 2 digits—for
example, if you enter only a single digit (such as "7") for a channel number, the
channel will automatically be defined as "07". Enter "07" to utilize this channel.
NOTES: 1) Once you enter the first digit, this digit replaces all old digits. 2) If you
press any non-numbered key, the number entered up to that point is accepted and
updated as the new value. 3) Press
NOTE: See Section 2, Installation and Setup, for a full explanation of how to
connect sources to the projector.
The projector stores and automatically recalls up to 50 different channels (source
setups) for a variety of inputs. This memory feature allows you to define and
conveniently use a wide variety of customized setups rather than having to repeatedly
re-configure the projector for different presentations. Depending on what you have
defined, each physical source connection (i.e., input at the projector) can have several
different channels associated with it.

An input is a source physically connected at the projector.

from one of the six inputs connected to the projector. Or, if the "Numbers Select
Main Image" option, found in the PIP menu, is to enable, press numbers 1-6 on the
number keypad . With either method, the image will be displayed according to the
following:
If it is the first time you have used the source/input (or if you used the input but
did not define a channel by adjusting anything), the projector will recognize the
new input signal based on its frequencies and polarities, and will automatically
display an image according to default settings for such a signal. In general, the
default fills the screen as fully as possible. This and other default image settings
depend on the incoming source.
If you used the source once before and changed a display parameter such as
contrast, V-Position, etc., then a channel was automatically created and still exists
in projector memory (see below).
If more than one channel exists for the input, the image will be displayed
according to the setup parameters for the first channel with matching
characteristics.
If PIP is enabled, an input key changes the PIP (secondary) image only. To switch
the main input, use the keypad number keys with "Numbers Select Main Image"
activated.
