Customizing your Hitachi Video Projector

I have pretty much standardized my school on Hitachi LCD projectors. We have them going back to 1999. Here are my Hitachis in the approximate order we received them:

• (9) CP-S860
• (5) CP-S225
• (2) CP-X380
• (3) CP-S318
• (3) ED-S3170
• (1) CP-X340
• (9) CP-S235
• (3) CP-S240
• (7) CP-X250
• (27) CP-X251
• (2) CP-X444
• (11) CP-X200
• (1) CP-X400
• (15) CP-X201
• (2) CP-X206
• (19) CP-X2510
• (1) CP-A52 (short throw)

We do have a couple Epsons, Sharps, Panasonics, and Proximas that have slipped in for various reasons.

Now that almost every classroom in our building has a video projector, I am taking a look at some of the advanced features they have. Namely:

• Creating a customized welcome screen (Hitachi calls this MyScreen)
• Customizing the names of the various inputs
• Setting the transition detector
• Setting the fan speed to HIGH
• Adjusting the time between nagging Clean Filter messages
• Setting a password

Further articles will go more in depth into these various features.
