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

1.Remove the lens cap

•  Do not remove the lens cap by pulling on the string. Doing so can cause mechanical damage to the part around the lens.

2.Press the (POWER) button on the projector cabinet or the POWER ON button on the remote control.

The POWER indicator will turn to green and the projector will become ready to use.

NOTE: When the projector is turned on, it may take some time before the lamp light becomes bright.

TIP:

When the STATUS indicator lights orange, it means that the [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. (page 68)

When the message “Projector is locked! Enter your password.” is displayed, it means that the [SECURITY] is turned on. (page 34)

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, the NEC logo (default), blue, or black screen will be displayed. After a lapse of 45 seconds from when the projector displays a blue, black or logo screen, [ECO MODE] will always switch to [ON]. This is done only when [ECO MODE] is set to [OFF].
