Saving and Recalling Configurations

m40L/m46L Installation & Configuration Guide

Some settings are saved automatically, but there are big advantages to saving a 
configuration manually. You can use the 40 numbered memory “slots” to save and 
recall settings, which is the fastest way to change configurations.

Some display settings (such as position, brightness/contrast, and color balance) are 
saved automatically five seconds after you make a change. The display caches the 
last ten settings. Whenever a picture is shown from a new source with the same 
resolution as a previous picture, the display recalls the previous settings rather than 
readjusting everything. This happens regardless of the check marks in Auto Setup 
Options. (See "Auto Setup Options" on page 61.)

For example, suppose you display an NTSC picture in the composite input and set 
the Brightness to your liking. Then you feed in a composite PAL picture and set a 
different Brightness. If you then send a new NTSC picture, the previous NTSC 
picture’s settings for Brightness is used. 

Aspect Ratio is specific to the source, which means it applies to all modes. It does not 

change when the system recalls a memory from cache.

Whenever you change settings on the display with the remote control or RS232 
commands, they are saved automatically. If you change to a new source (switch to 
another input connector) then switch back to the previous source, everything you 
did before will be “recalled.” Things will look like they did before.

Suppose you make adjustments to an SVGA source on analog, then you feed a UXGA 
source to analog and make new adjustments. Then you switch to the S-Video 
connector and do some more setup for it. Later, you switch to the analog input again, 
and this time it has the SVGA source from before. The display will recognize that it 
has seen this source before, or at least a source with these characteristics, and will 
recall the SVGA settings you established before. 

The settings recalled by Automatic Save include Input Levels, Position and 
Frequency. However, Wall Mode and Big Picture adjustments are not saved with 
Automatic Save. Those settings can only be recalled from memory slots.

The fastest, most efficient way to change from one source to another, or to change a 
wall from individual pictures to one big picture, is to recall a memory. 

• You can compare multiple settings quickly

• You don’t have to repeat settings when comparing entire configurations

• You can revert to a known good setting when testing new configurations
