3. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)

This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a picture onto the screen.

￿Turning on the Projector

NOTE: Before turning on the projector, first connect the supplied power cable's three-pin plug to the AC IN of the projector, and then connect the other plug of the supplied power cable in the wall outlet. Make sure that the projector is in its standby mode and the power indicator is glowing orange.

1. Remove the lens cap.

CAUTION:

Do not remove the lens cap by pulling on the string. Doing so can cause mechanical damage to the part around the lens.

2.Press the POWER (ON/STAND BY) button on the pro- jector cabinet or the POWER ON button on the remote control for 1 second.

The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projector will become ready to use.

TIP:

*Turning on the projector will instantly cause the Auto Focus function to operate. (page 22)

*When the key lock symbol ( ) is displayed at the bottom right of the menu, it means that the Control Panel Lock is turned on. (page 41)

After you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source is turned on and that your lens cap is re- moved.

NOTE: When no signal is available, a blue or black screen is dis- played.

When the projector displays a blue or black screen, the projector will automatically switch to the Eco mode.

The projector will return to the Normal mode once a signal is con- nected.

NOTE: If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without displaying an image for some time and then the projector will display the im- age.
