i have 3 hd sources bluray/hddvd/hdtv and 1 sd source htpc.

all sources go into a 5-port hdmi switch and then to the hd fury and into 01 on my marquee8000.

the htpc goes from vga to dvii transcoder into the hdmi switch.

if i get the convergence right for the htpc then the hd sources are not right and vice versa.

i have tried to set the htpc to 60hz/70hz/75hz and it doesnt seem to make any difference.

i thought setting the htpc to 60hz would solve it.

im pretty sure i can do a separate memory recall for the htpc but ive never done anything with recalls and memory and not sure how to go about it.

thanks.

Hello

Hit UTIL, 2 and this is the Channels setup table. Start with channel 1, cursor over and, usiing the up/down arrow buttons, name it as one of your sources like "BluRay", name the projector input that it is cabled to, 01 or 02, then use Recall 01. Hit Exit a few times and go to UTIL and Preferences and select single digits for channels. Then press 1 on the remote, fire up the BluRay, and dial in convergence and anything else needed. When done there, go into Channels again and use channel 2, name the input being used, and enter in Recall 2. Hit Exit a few times. Hit 2 on the remote and dial in for the source you want as channel 2. Continue until all sources are assigned their own channel. If a source had more than one resolution then give a channel and recall to each resolution. Make a list so you can refer to your channel assignments until you have them memorized.

thanks tim!

what about raster size and ar ?

i know when i had the htpc 4:3 on 01 and the hd stuff 16:9 on 02 i had the correct ar for both.

but now that im using 01 for all sources and its still set for 4:3 the hd stuff is too tall.

or do i have to set the htpc to a 16:9 resolution ?

thanks.

Hello

When your channels are all set up, adjust size and geometry as needed for each. The recalls store those settings for you unless a recall is locked. Hit UTIL, 1, 3 to lock or unlock a given memory when necessary.

thanks you guys!

im pretty sure curt did it before he shipped the pj to me.

i dont have any problem getting the right ar for 16:9 so im thinking he did.

The memory system on the Marquee is great. Now that you understand it, you'll be on your way.
