You cannot change the displays above.
This projector has 32 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 Signal menu.
This projector also has 20 types of user memories for Input-A into which you
can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal.
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 Signal 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 56 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.

Turn off the projector, then unplug the
power cord. Wait for at least an hour for the
lamp to cool.
The lamp becomes a high temperature after
turning off the projector with the I/1 (on/
standby) switch. If you touch the lamp, you
may scald your finger. When you replace the
lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to
cool. When removing the lamp unit, make sure
it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do
not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp
unit while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the
pieces may scatter, causing injury.
