About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 38 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the
preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the
data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory
number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the Information menu.
You can also adjust the preset data through the Screen menu.
This projector also contains 20 different user memories beside the preset memories used
for inputting analog computer signals. You can save input signals that have not been preset
on these user memories.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0.
When you adjust the data of the signal in the Screen menu, it will be registered to the
projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always
overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 73 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.
Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen is displayed in black.

• To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is
persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad,
alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner or insecticide.
• Using such materials or maintaining
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the
screen surface and cabinet material.

Black points and bright points (red,
blue, or green) on the screen
The projector is manufactured using highprecision technology.
You may, however, see tiny black points
and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the projector.
This is a normal result of the manufacturing
process and does not indicate a malfunction.
