Turning Off the Picture and Sound

■To turn off the picture and sound, press the A/V Mute button. The screen goes dark.

■To turn the picture and sound back on, press the button again.

note

When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters “sleep mode.” This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the Power button.

Shutting Down the Projector

When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible overheating.

1.If you’ve connected a computer or laptop and it’s displaying only through the projector (the computer’s monitor is disconnected or turned off), shut down the computer first; otherwise you may not be able to see your computer’s display to shut it down properly.

2.To turn off the projector, press the red Power button on the projector or remote control.
