Installation

Connect the projector's AC power cord into an AC outlet and

open the front cover. Turn the Main On/Off switch on, and the

POWER indicator flashes red in a moment and turns on red. (If

the front cover is being closed, the POWER indicator light

orange.)

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the

remote control. The POWER indicator turns green, and the cool-

ing fans start to operate. The preparation display appears on the

screen and the count down starts. (A captured image can be

used as the preparation display. See “Capture” on page 41.)

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the

remote control, and a message "Power off?" appears on the

screen. The message is not displayed and the projector is

turned off when the Power off confirmation function is off. (See

the Setting Menu on page 41.)

Press the POWER ON-OFF button again to turn off the projec-

tor. The POWER indicator starts to flash red, and it continues

while the cooling fans are operating (for about 90 seconds).

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF LAMP, ONCE YOU TURN PRO-

JECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURN-

ING IT OFF.

DO NOT DISCONNECT AC POWER CORD WHILE COOL-

ING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE POWER INDICA-

TOR LIGHTS RED. OTHERWISE IT WILL RESULT IN

SHORTENING LAMP LIFE.

When the projector has cooled down enough to be turned on

again, the POWER indicator lights red. Then you can turn the

Main On/Off switch off and disconnect the AC power cord.

The message disappears after 4 seconds.

After the count-down, the input source that was selected last

and the Lamp mode status icon appear on the screen.

Note:

• When the front cover is closed during operation, the projector is automatically

turned off in 5 seconds for safety. Be sure to turn off the projector by pressing the

tor at least once in 24 hours and give it a rest. Continuous use may result in short-

ening the lamp lifetime.

speed of the cooling fans.
