To stop projecting:

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

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

10.Wait about one minute for the POWER indicator to be lit in red steadily.

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 POWER 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.

BLANK mode

The video signal is temporarily muted when the BLANK button is pressed. To cancel muting, press the BLANK button again.

• It takes several seconds to disable the BLANK mode.

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.)

HC3000 specifications

The Mitsubishi Electronics HC3000 is a cutting-edge projector designed to deliver high-quality visuals for both home theater enthusiasts and professional presentations. Known for its exceptional image clarity and versatility, the HC3000 stands out in the crowded market of digital projection.

One of the key features of the HC3000 is its superior resolution capability. With support for Full HD (1920 x 1080), it ensures that images are sharp and vibrant, making it ideal for cinematic experiences and detailed presentations. The high brightness level, which reaches up to 3000 ANSI lumens, allows for clear visibility in various lighting conditions, whether in a dimly lit home theater or a well-lit conference room.

The HC3000 employs advanced DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which enhances color accuracy and reduces the possibilities of rainbow effects that can occur in some projection technologies. This DLP technology is complemented by Mitsubishi's proprietary color wheel, which enhances color reproduction, providing deep blacks and rich colors that make images pop.

Another standout characteristic is its flexible connectivity options. The HC3000 includes multiple input terminals, including HDMI, VGA, and composite inputs, making it compatible with a range of devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and laptops. This multitude of options ensures that users can easily integrate the projector into their existing systems and switch between different sources without hassle.

Portability is another strength of the HC3000. Weighing in at a manageable size, it can be transported easily, making it a great option for business professionals who need to present on the go. Its compact design does not sacrifice performance for size, maintaining high-quality output even in a portable format.

Additionally, the HC3000 incorporates a robust cooling system designed to extend the life of the projector's lamp. This feature not only enhances durability but also minimizes operational noise, allowing for an immersive viewing experience without distracting sounds.

In summary, the Mitsubishi Electronics HC3000 is a versatile and high-performing projector, offering Full HD resolution, advanced DLP technology, excellent connectivity options, and portability. Whether for home entertainment or professional use, it delivers outstanding image quality, making it a popular choice among consumers seeking reliability and performance.
