To stop projecting:

8.Press the POWER button on the projector or the STANDBY () button on the remote control.

A confirmation message is displayed.

To cancel the procedure, leave the projector for a while or press the MENU button.

9.Press the POWER button on the projector or the STANDBY () button on the remote control again.

The lamp goes out and the projector goes into a standby mode. In this standby mode, the STATUS indicator blinks green.

10.Wait about one minute.

During this period of one minute in the standby mode, the intake fan and exhaust fan rotate to cool the lamp.

The lamp can’t be lit again for one minute after turning off the projector for safety purpose. It will take another one minute for the STATUS indicator to go out. If you want to turn on the projector again, wait until the indicator goes out, and then press the POWER button.

The air outlet fans rotate faster as the temperature around the projector rises.

Do not unplug the power cord while the STATUS indicator is blinking. Unplugging the power cord immediately after use may cause a lamp breakdown.

Though the fan makes loud sounds during cooling, such symptom is not a malfunction.

11.Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

The POWER indicator will go out.

If the power cord should be unplugged accidentally while either the air inlet fan or the air outlet fans are operating or the lamp is on, allow the projector to cool down for 10 minutes with the power off. To light the lamp again, press the POWER button. If the lamp doesn’t light up immediately, repeat pressing the POWER button two or three times. If it should still fail to light up, replace the lamp.

Cover the lens with the lens cap to protect it from dust.

AUTO POSITION button

When the image supplied from the computer is displaced, carry out the following procedure.

1.Display a bright image (such as a full-screen display of the Recycle Bin window).

2.When the screen saver has been enabled, disable it.

3.Press the AUTO POSITION button.

The projector automatically makes optimum positional settings for the input signal.

If the image is not projected in the correct position even after you press the AUTO POSITION button several times, change the settings in the SIGNAL menu to put the image in the correct position. (See page 29.)

When you carry out this procedure with a dark image, the image may be displaced.

When connecting to a notebook computer:

When the projector is connected to a notebook computer, images may not be projected in some cases. In such cases, set the computer so that it can output signals externally. The setting procedure varies depending on the type of the computer. See the instruction manual of your computer.

Example of the setting procedure for external output

Press the [Fn] key and any of the keys [F1] to [F12] at the same time. (The key to be pressed depends on the type of the computer you use.)

This model is designed to deliver impressive image quality, versatility, and reliable performance.

One of the standout features of the HC1600 is its high brightness level, which reaches up to 3,000 lumens.

Connectivity options are abundant in the HC1600. It features multiple HDMI ports, USB connections, and composite video inputs, enabling seamless integration with a range of devices including laptops, gaming consoles, and media players. The inclusion of these connectivity choices enhances its versatility as a multimedia projector.

Additionally, the HC1600 includes a built-in speaker, which, while may not replace a dedicated sound system, offers decent audio quality for less complex presentations or casual movie viewing. For those who desire an immersive audio experience, external audio devices can easily be connected, elevating the overall viewing experience.

The design of the HC1600 is also worth noting. It is lightweight and compact, making it suitable for both stationary setups and portable use. Users can easily transport it to different locations, whether for business meetings, classrooms, or home movie nights.

In summary, the Mitsubishi Electronics HC1600 is a well-rounded projector that brings together brightness, resolution, and connectivity into one package.
