|
|
I have an Electrohome Marquee 8000 projector with about 500 hours on it. For some reason, when viewing 480i inputs it seems to always shift or completely forget how I set the convergence. Is there a way to fix this? It's annoying having to reconverge the projector every day. It does it weather or not I turn the projector on or off. Just switching from 1080i to 480i will cause the problem. All other input sources don't seem to suffer from this problem.
Thanks!

lol, you will need another recall memory for 480i.
ie: 1080i is source 1 recall 1 and 480i is source 1 recall memory 2.
that way you have to select recall 02 on the remote when switched to 480i.

alos,
1)make sure ASR is turned off for that channel or it can cause all kinds of havoc.
2) Make sure the channel your using isn't "locked" or no matter what you do it will go backed to it's locked settings at power down
3) lastly, how can you even watch 480i (compositte / S-video)

Well I have 4 different input channels (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i), although I always have ASR on. Maybe that is my problem. It just causes weird shifts in the convergence each time I use the projector. I'll have to check that channel locking as well. If all else fails I'll blame my cats. They must be changing it when I'm not home. They can't be trusted!

If the channel used is locked, then the set will not save the convergence changes to me. I'm embarrassed to say that I did that a few years ago when I installed my own 9500. Every time I turned it on, I had to do the same minor tweaking on the red. Finally after the 20th time, I figured it out.

I'll give that a shot. I think the ASR is probably causing problems to. Cause my 1080i input doesn't work with ASR for some reason, and the convergence never "shifts" on that. I'll update if that fixes it.

no probably's about it, ASR has never worked properly for me. If you have a channel dedicated to each source/resolution then you don't need to have it automatically recall a souce. You simply do it by manually changing channels.

I turned off ASR and so far so good. I'll have to keep an eye on it the next couple of days, but it looks like it should work fine.
Thanks for all the help!
