The Function Menu

The Function menu is used for changing the settings of the projector.

Setting items

Functions

Initial setting

Smart APA

The APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) automatically 
adjusts “Dot Phase,” “H Size” and “Shift” on the 
Signal menu for the input signal from a computer. 

On:

 When a signal is input from a computer, the 

APA functions automatically so that the picture can 
be seen clearly. Once the specified input signal has 
been adjusted by the “Smart APA,” it will not be 
readjusted even when the cable is disconnected and 
connected again or the input channel is changed. You 
can adjust the picture by pressing the APA key on the 
Remote Commander even if “Smart APA” set to 
“On.”

Off:

 The APA functions when you press the APA key 

on the Remote Commander.

On

Auto Input Search

When set to “On,” the projector detects input signals in 
the following order: Input-A/Video/S-Video. It 
indicates the input channel when the INPUT key is 
pressed.

Off

Auto Focus

When set to “Off,” the focus adjustment does not work 
automatically when the projector is turned on or when 
the AUTO FOCUS key on the projector or the remote 
commander is pressed.

On

Test Pattern

When set to “On,” a test pattern is displayed on the 
screen during “Lens Zoom”, “Lens Focus,” or “V 
Keystone” adjustment.

Off

Standby Mode

When set to “Low”, the power consumption is set to 
low in standby mode.

Standard

Power Saving

When set to “On,” the projector goes into power saving 
mode if no signal is input for 10 minutes. Although the 
lamp goes out, the cooling fan keeps running. The 
power saving mode is canceled when a signal is input 
or any key is pressed. In power saving mode, no keys 
function for the first 45 seconds after the lamp goes 
out.
