Basic Operation

Turning On the Projector

1Complete peripheral connections (with a computer, VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.

2Connect the projector’s AC power cord into an AC outlet. The LAMP/SHUTTER indicator lights red and the POWER indicator lights green.

3Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the ON button on the remote control. The LAMP/ SHUTTER indicator dims and the cooling fans start to operate. The preparation display appears on the screen and the countdown starts.

4After the countdown, the input source that was selected the last time and the Lamp control status icon (see page 61) appear on the screen.

If the projector is locked with a PIN code, PIN code input dialog box will appear.

Note:

•When the Logo select function is set to Off, the logo will not be shown on the screen (p.54).

•When Countdown off or Off is selected in the Display function, the countdown will not be shown on the screen (p.54).

•When the Input button function is set to Mode 3, the input signal will be searched automatically (p.53).

•If you press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the remote control during the countdown period, you can skip the countdown and go to the normal operations. In this case, however, the brightness of the image needs some time to stabilize after turning on the projector. The display may flicker after turning on the lamp for the characteristics of the lamp. This is normal operation and not a malfunction.

Enter a PIN code

Use the Point ▲▼ buttons on the side control or Number buttons on the remote control to enter a number.

When using side control

Use the Point ▲▼ buttons on the side control to select a number. Press the Point ► button to fix the number and move the red frame pointer to the next box. The number changes to . Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number. After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to “Set”. Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.

When using remote control

Press the Number buttons on the remote control to enter a number (p.14). When you complete entering a four-digit number, the pointer moves to “Set”. Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.

If you fix an incorrect number, use the Point ◄ button to move the pointer to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct number.

If you entered an incorrect PIN code, “PIN code” and the number () will turn red for a moment. Enter the correct PIN code all over again.

The preparation display will disappear after 30 seconds.
