2. Press II Power on the projector or remote control to start the projector. As soon as the lamp lights up, a "Power On Tone" will be heard. The POWER indicator light flashes green and stays green when the projector is on.

The start up procedure takes about 30 seconds. In the later stage of start up, a startup logo is projected.

You can also press SOURCE on the projector or remote control to select your desired input signal. See "Switching input signal" on page 27 for details.

If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fans for approximately 90 seconds before energizing the lamp.

Please change to an input signal which is compatible with the projector's resolution or set the input signal to a lower setting. See "Timing chart" on page 53 for details.
