(Overtemp indicator light)

This light illuminates if the projector becomes too hot or when one of the fans malfunctions. When this light is illuminated, the lamp automatically turns off. In the unlikely event of an overtemperature condition, see Chapter 6, Troubleshooting for more information.

(Lamp indicator light)

This light illuminates when the lamp needs to be replaced. It also flashes for about 90 seconds after you turn off the lamp.

SWITCHING BETWEEN INPUT SOURCES

With some presentations, you’ll have multiple input sources connected to the projector. Input sources are VCRs, computers, laserdisc players, the optional MediaExpress system, or any piece of hardware that produces images that you want to project through your projector. For example, you may have a VCR, the MediaExpress system, and your computer connected.

To switch between sources, just press the Source key. The Source key cycles through the various sources that are currently connected to your projector.

USING THE MENUS

Before starting your presentation, you’ll want to fine-tune the image to get the sharpest, clearest image possible. The handful of settings you’ll use the most are very easy to access. Just press the Setup key and make your adjustments. For the settings you use less frequently, access the projector’s menus to make your adjustments. To open the menus, press the Menu button once.

Each menu command offers a list of related settings. Each setting is described in Chapter 3. For now, it’s important to know how to choose a menu and adjust the various settings.

To navigate through the menus, press the edges of the MouseDisk on the remote control or use the optional Cyclops wand or laser pointer. (On the projector's control panel, press the up and down arrow keys.) As the cursor moves up and down the main menu, additional options appear to the right.
