After this has been done, you can proceed to the menu operation.

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

When the Lamp mode is set to Eco, the Lamp indicator will light green.

If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.

*If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector's internal components to cool down.

*When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.

*If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power.

If one of the following things happen, the projector will mute a picture. If it continues muting for 15 minutes, the projector will go into standby mode.

* Turning on the power with the lens shutter closed.

Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)

When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup screen. This screen gives you the opportunity to select one of the 7 menu languages.

NOTE: If you want, you can select one of the 20 menu language later. See "Lan- guage" on page E-33.

To select a menu language, follow these steps:

1.Use the dial to select one of the 7 languages for the menu.
