Operation

Starting up the projector

1.Plug the power cord into the projector and into a

power outlet. Turn on the power outlet switch (where fitted). Check that the POWER indicator light on the projector lights orange after power has been applied.

Please use the original accessories (e.g. power cord) only with the device to avoid possible dangers such as electric shock and fire.

2.Press POWER to start the projector. As soon as the lamp lights up, a "Power On Ring 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.

(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.

To turn off the ring tone, see "Turning off the Power On/Off Ring Tone" on page 34 for details.

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

3.If the projector is activated for the first time, select your OSD language and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.

4.If you are prompted for a password, press the arrow keys to enter a six-digit password. See "Utilizing the password function" on page 23 for details.

5.Switch all of the connected equipment on.

6.The projector will start to search for input signals. The current input signal being scanned displays in the upper left corner of the screen. If the projector doesn't detect a valid signal, the message “No Signal” will continue displaying until an input signal is found.

You can also press SOURCE on the projector or remote control to select your desired input signal. See "Switching input signal" on page 25 for details.

If the frequency/resolution of the input signal exceeds the projector's operating range, you will see the message “Out of Range” displayed on the background screen. 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 58 for details.

If no signal is detected for 3 minutes, the projector automatically enters Screensaver mode.
