This section describes how to select a computer or video source, how to adjust the picture, and how to customize the menu or projector settings.

General Controls

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

1.Turn on the Projector

Only after you press the “POWER” button on the projector cabinet or the remote control will the power indicator turn to green and the projector become ready to use.

NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, use the menu and enable the “Auto Start” feature. (See page E-32.)

NOTE: Regardless of the lamp mode setting, the lamp always stays in High-Bright mode for 3 minutes after the projector is turned on. If you have selected the Eco mode, the STATUS indicator blinks green and the lamp will change to Eco mode in 3 minutes.

NOTE: Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is not a fault. Wait for 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.

Use the “Magnify” button (+) or (-) on the remote control to make the image larger up to 400%.

•Do not turn the projector off and then immediately back on. The pro- jector needs to cool for 30 seconds before it can be restarted.
