• Vidikron/ISF Logo Splash Screen Timers: When you turn on the PlasmaView VHD, it 
projects a welcome screen with the Vidikron logo followed by one with the ISF logo. 
Select Splash Timer from the Splash Configure menu to set the amount of time that these 
two images appear. The range is from 2 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments. 
Use the up or down cursor button to select a timer value to adjust. Use the right or left 
cursor button to change the timer value. Press MENU when you have finished configuring 
both timers.
OSD Position: Select OSD Position, press ENTER and use the arrow buttons to change the 
size and position of the OSD controls.
Use the Service menu to access advanced display configuration settings. This menu should 
be used by ISF-certified technicians only.
Test Video: Select Test Video from the Service Menu to access the internal test patterns on 
the PlasmaView VHD. Four patterns are available, consisting of white/gray or colored bars. 
These are useful for calibrating other theater source components (DVD player, HD tuner etc.) 
that have their own picture controls. 
Press MENU to exit test pattern mode. 
Input Names: You can give each VHD Controller input a descriptive name. For example, you 
may want to change the default input name to the type of source component connected to 
it: “VCR,” “DVD,” “Laptop” et cetera. Composite, S-Video and Component SD input names can 
be up to 12 characters long; the others can be up to eight characters long. 
To edit an input name, select Input Names from the Service menu. Press 
 or 
 to select an 
input and press ENTER. Use the 
 or 
 buttons to change a character; press 
 or 
 to 
select a character to change. When you have finished editing the input name, press MENU
To restore the default input name, press 
 repeatedly to highlight that input name in the 
“Restore” column. Then, press ENTER
To save input names so that they can be restored after a System Reset (described on 
page 49), press 
 repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press ENTER
Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary infrared 
(IR) codes to which the VHD Controller will respond. By default, both are set to 17. You can 
change these codes if either:
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands 
from the VHD Controller remote control (Figure 2-7) in ways that are unpredictable or 
undesirable.
