Viewing Projector Information

The About menu lets you view information about the display settings of your computer, your video signal mode, and the number of hours the lamp has been used. The options available in the menu depend on which source is connected to the projector: computer or video.

note

The life span of the projector lamp is approximately 1500 hours. If the number shown in the About menu is close to 1500, make sure you have a spare lamp handy. See page 6 for part number and ordering information.
