Adjusting the Brightness

The brightness of an image depends on the source you are projecting and the amount of light in the room. If the image is too bright or not bright enough, do one of the following:

❏Change the Brightness setting in the Image menu.

❏Select Low or High for the Brightness Control option in the Setting menu. Low Brightness mode extends the life of the lamp and decreases the fan noise.

Sleep Mode

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 P Power button.

You can enable sleep mode in the Extended menu under Operation.
