Is the lamp due for

automatically if no signal is input for about 30 minutes, and the
projector switches to standby mode. Press the button on the
remote control or the button on the projector's control panel
to turn the projector's power back on. To cancel the sleep mode
setting, change "Sleep Mode" menu command to "Off".
