Just got a Wii and have it connected via component through my Moome at 480p. I also have a Toshiba HD-DVD player going into the HDMI at 1080p

First time I power up the Wii I reconverge and set the geometry for the 9500 since it is my first 480p source. Now when I switch back to the HD-DVD it holds to the Wii setting. So I reconverage at 1080p and when I switch back to 480p it keeps the 1080p settings.

This sucks!

Any ideas??

I'm not sure as I don't own a E-home but you should be setting these up in different memory locations then the projector looks for that signal in it's memory and switches to it.
I do know that NEC's do that automatically

Yep, the 9500 should do that on its own also, at least I thought it should.................... Arggggg

Personally, I've never seen ASR work properly on a Marquee.

I use a recall memory for each signal, then setup a single digit channel number and switch manually...

Guys!



You do not want to use Auto Source Recall because only one projector setup can be had for one set of H and V scan rates, in effect, one memory for one resolution so you cannot deal with different aspect ratios for one resolution.

Use Channel Numbers!

This really is pretty simple. Each "port" or input to the projector has its' own memory, Source 01 (a.k.a. "S01") for the first RGBHV port, S02 for the second port if installed, S03, S04, S05, and S06 if the decoder is used. If one has a Marquee switcher then the ports are S11, S12 and so on, depending on which slots have input cards installed. A "Memory" is all the keyed in adjustments made to optimize a given signal, these include Contrast, Brightness, H Size, V Size, Convergence, Keystone, Pin, Phase. If you have need for multiple setups with one port, then Recallable Memories, or "Recalls" can be employed; they replace the port memories when needed. Source or Recall memories can be copied back and forth in Utilities. To go to a given input, you would push "Source 01" or "Source 02" and the projector switches to that port. If you also need a Recall memory 03 for that signal you must also push "Recall 03"; that is a total of six
button presses; you are at risk of spilling your beer in a dark room! ASR, or Auto Source Recall, can be switched on for any port; with ASR on, the signal being viewed is clocked for its' H and V scan rate (see ** for scan rate readout) and compared to the lists of existing memories for an exact match. If a match is found then that memory is brought up. If the scan rate falls in between two existing setups, then ASI happens; "Auto Source Interpolation", an average of the settings of the two memories are employed and stored temporarily in the working memory of what is displayed right now. Since this is not a distinct discrete memory itself, adjustments made during ASI are not saveable for later. If you have several aspect ratios happening at the same scan rates then you do not want to use ASR, it cannot tell which aspect memory to bring up, it will only grab the last one you adjusted. In this case, leave ASR off, and program your inputs and recalls into the Channel List (see UTIL 2) This allows for input and recall memory selection, once it is programmed, by one or two button presses.

Your situation is best managed by use of Channel Numbers, as are the needs for most HTs:

As to employing Channel Numbers, set up your channel list something like
this if using a scaler with passthru:

Ch.......Name..............Input......Recall

01.......DVD 4:3.............01..........01

02.......DVD 16:9...........01..........02

03.......DVD 2.35...........01..........03

04.......Sat 4:3................01..........04

05.......Sat 16:9...............01..........05

or like this if satellite is the projectors' 02 input:

Ch.......Name.............Input.......Recall

01.......DVD 4:3............ 01..........01

02.......DVD 16:9...........01..........02

03.......DVD 2.35...........01..........03

04.......Sat 4:3................02..........04

05.......Sat 16:9...............02..........05

Find Preferences in the Util menu and set for single digit channel select. When you select a given source, push 1,2,3 or 4 on the Marquee remote and you will pull up the appropriate memory bank. Dial in the alignments for each memory and you are all set.

Thanks!!!!!

ASR worked great since they are different scan rates.

BTW, your post went above and beyond. I called my wife to see how detailed it was and went off for a little bit on how unbelievable it is to get help from folks you do not know. I do have one of your projectors, but it went through someone else before I got it.

Thanks again.
