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:

The projector has two power switches: a main power switch and a POWER (ON/STAND BY) button (POWER ON and OFF on the remote control).

When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the main power switch is pushed to the off (￿) position. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.

1.To turn on the main power to the projector, press the Main Power switch to the on position ( I ).

The POWER indicator will light orange.See the Power Indicator section on page 53 for more details.

2.Press the POWER (ON/STAND BY) button on the projector cabinet or the POWER ON button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 seconds. The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projector will become ready to use.

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

NOTE: When no signal is available, a blue, black or logo screen is displayed.

When the projector displays a blue or a black screen (not logo), the Eco mode will be automatically selected in "Lamp Mode."

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