Projecting a Picture

Turning Off the Projector

1Power ON the projector. Set the MAIN POWER switch to ON (located on the side Connector Panel). The ON indicator lights orange.

2Press the STANDBY/ON button on the Projector Control Panel or on the Remote Control Unit. (See page 7)

The ON indicator blinks green during warm-up and stays green when projector is ready for use.

NOTE: The power can not be turned on if the STANDBY/ON button is pressed within 60 seconds after the power is turned off.

3Remove the lens cap.

4Position the projector the desired distance from the projection screen, then set the projection angle by positioning the foot adjusters. (See Positioning the Projector and Setting the Projection Angle below)

5Power ON all connected input devices. (See pages 4-5.)

6Select the signal source: press the INPUT button on the projector or one of the the INPUT buttons (VIDEO/RGB) on the Remote Control Unit. (See pages7.)

NOTE: To switch between RGB1 and RGB2, use the INPUT menu (see page 10).

7Adjust the picture size with the ZOOM knob, then adjust the focus using the FOCUS ring (see page 7).

1 Press STANDBY/ON button (on Control Panel or Remote Control Unit) for one (1) second. The ON indicator blinks orange and the projector lamp turns off.

CAUTION: Always press the STANDBY/ON button before turning OFF the MAIN POWER. This allows the fan to cool down the projector.

This projector complies with VESA DDC1/2B specifications. Only RGB1 supports Plug & Play.
