    Logo Display: This controls whether or not the Planar logo appears during 
    startup.
    Power On Chime: This controls the audible chime at startup.
    ControlSelect Control from the Main Menu to set various options related to control of 
    the projector. 
    1 Key / 2 Key / 3 Key / 4 Key / 5 Key: These menu items assign the function of 
    the keys numbered 1 through 5 on the remote.
    There are eight sources corresponding to the eight connections to the 
    projector. When you assign a source to a numbered key, the projector 
    immediately goes to that source when the key assigned to it is pressed. 
    If the chosen source is disabled via the Source Enable menu (refer to page 54), 
    this setting has no effect.
    M1 Key / M2 Key / M3 Key: These menu items assign which memory setting to 
    recall when the M1, M2 or M3 key on the remote is pressed.
    Trigger 1: Select Trigger 1 from the Control menu to specify when the Trigger 1 
    port outputs 12 volts. There is a three-second delay before activation to prevent 
    operation while selecting an aspect ratio.
    •Lamp causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the lamp is on.
    •16:9 causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the 16:9 aspect ratio is 
    chosen.
    •Letterbox causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the Letterbox aspect 
    ratio is chosen. The output stops if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything 
    other than off).

    •4:3 causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the 4:3 aspect ratio is chosen. 
    The output stops if PIP is enabled (PIP source is set to anything other than off).
    •4:3 Narrow causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the 4:3 Narrow 
    aspect ratio is chosen.  The output stops if PIP is enabled (that is, the PIP 
    source is set to anything other than off).
    •RS232 causes the port to output 12 volts when an RS232 screen trigger 1 “on” 
    command is received and stop when a trigger 1 “off” command is received. 
    The 12 volt output also stops when the projector is turned off.
    Trigger 2 (PD8150 only): Select Trigger 2 from the Control menu to configure the 
    Trigger 2 output. Trigger 2 operates identically to Trigger 1. 
    Remote Code Set: Select Remote Code Set from the Control menu to specify 
    the remote IR code set to which the PD8130/PD8150 responds. The default is 
    Set-1. Choose Set-2 if other equipment in the theater responds to commands 
    from the PD8130/PD8150 remote control in ways that are unexpected or 
    undesirable. 
    When you select a different remote code set on the PD8130/PD8150, you must 
    re-program the remote control unit to use that same code set. To do this, press 
    and hold the LIGHT and ENTER buttons simultaneously for approximately five 
    seconds. When the code set has changed, the remote control back-lighting 
    “blinks” to visually confirm the change.
    Table 6-1 lists the IR codes associated with each remote control button.
    Auto Source: This control chooses whether or not to scan for other active 
    sources if the current source is not available. The default setting is Off.

    Lamp Hour Reset: When you replace the projector lamp (refer to Lamp 
    Replacement on page 63), you should also reset the lamp hour counter. To do 
    this, select Lamp Hour Reset from the Service menu, then press ENTER. Press 
    ENTER again to confirm the reset. Or, to cancel the operation, press  on the 
    remote to highlight No, then press ENTER.
    Factory Reset: Select Factory Reset from the Service menu to restore all 
    projector settings – except those listed below – to their factory-default values:

    Blue Only: This feature removes all red and green color information from the 
    image, and is useful for color-calibrating the projector or other video 
    components. 
    Test Patterns: The PD8130/PD8150 has numerous internal test patterns that are 
    useful to technicians for advanced calibration, measurement and fault isolation 
    purposes. To access them, select 
    Test Patterns from the Service menu and set it 
    to On. 
    The available test patterns are:
    •White
    •Black
    •Red
    •Green
    •Blue
    •Cyan
    •Magenta
    • Yellow
    • ANSI Checkerboard
    • Horizontal Gray Ramp
    •Focus Grid
    Press  or  on the remote control unit or built-in keypad to cycle through the 
    test patterns. 
    Reset the Lamp Hour counter ONLY after you replace the 
    lamp. Otherwise, the reported “Lamp Hours” will be 
    inaccurate. 
    Do not exceed the recommended lamp life. An old lamp 
    becomes increasingly fragile and prone to sudden failure.

    high-altitude operating environments, you may need to change this setting to 
    High.
