Programming and Control
The syntax for setting a special function for an MLC is
X?
* __ # where
X?
is the value and __ is the
function number. To view a function’s setting, use __#, where __ is the function number. In the
following table the values of the
X?
variable are different for each command/function. These values
are given in the rightmost column.

Delay times
Most projectors require a certain amount of time during warm-up and cool-down during which they do not accept
commands. Once you have set the input selction lock during power on/off command (53#, page 5-35), send this
command (1#) to specify the amount of time for the MLC to wait between sending the projector a power-on or power-off
command and when the next input button press can occur.
Power on delay
24
X?
*1 # WarmUp*
X?
0 = 0 seconds,
1 = 2 seconds,
2 = 4 seconds,
... in 2 second steps up to
150 = 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Example: 8*1# WarmUp*008 Example: set a 16 second power on delay.
Example: 1# WarmUp*023 Example: view the power on delay
setting.
Power off delay
24
X?
*2 # CoolDown*
X?
0 = 0 seconds,
1 = 2 seconds,
2 = 4 seconds,... in 2 second
steps up to 150 = 300 seconds.
Example: 23*2# CoolDown*023 Example: set a 46 second power off
delay.
Power off button delay
24
X?
*22 # PwrOffDly*
X?
0 = the power off button
requires no hold delay (default),
1 = the power off button
requires a 2-second hold delay
before starting the power-off
sequence.
Audio settings
Limit audio level on display power-on
24
X?
*11 # VolLimit*
X?
If this feature is enabled, the
maximum initial power-up
volume level does not exceed
the level specified by this
command.
0 = audio off, ...,
20 = default value, ...,
100 = no limit on audio level at
power-on.
The MLC responds with an E14 error code when volume mode = 1 (increment/decrement).
The maximum
X?
is limited by the maximum volume setting (47#). You must set the maximum volume (47#
command) before setting the limit audio level feature (11# command). See page 5-34.
Example: 28*11# VolLimit*028 Example: limit power-up volume
to 70% of maximum volume.
