Selecting Fan Mode [FAN MODE]

This option allows you to select three modes for fan speed: Auto mode, High speed mode, and High Altitude mode.

AUTO ��������������������� The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according to the internal temperature. HIGH���������������������� The built-in fans run at high speed.

HIGH ALTITUDE����� The built-in fans run at a high speed. Select this option when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) or higher.

NOTE:

•When you wish to cool down the temperature inside the projector quickly, select [HIGH].

•It is recommended that you select High speed mode if you use the projector non-stop for consecutive days.

•If you use the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) or higher, you are recommended to set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE]. Failure to do so may cause the projector to overheat , resulting in malfunction.

•Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.

•Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].

•Using the projector at high altitudes or in low air pressure can shorten the life of components.

•Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu.

Selecting [COLOR SYSTEM]

This feature enables you to select video standards manually.

Normally select [AUTO]. Select the video standard from the pulldown menu. This must be done for VIDEO and S- VIDEO Connectors separately.
