Chapter 3 Basic Operations — Switching on/off the projector

Note

ff While the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> is lit in orange, the fan is running to cool the projector.

ff For about 75 seconds after the projector is switched off and the luminous lamp cooling is started, the lamp indicators will not light up even if the power is switched on. After the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in red, turn on the power again.

ff The projector consumes power even in standby mode (power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lit in red). Refer to “Power consumption” (x page 180) for the power consumption.

ff The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> flashes if a remote control signal is received.

ff The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> flashes slowly in green while the shutter is closed. ff If the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> is flashing in red, consult your dealer.

ff The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in green and the image is soon projected on the screen.

Attention

ff Using the projector while the lens cover is attached may cause the device to heat up and result in a fire.

Note

ff If the projector is switched on at around 0 °C (32 °F), a warm-up period of approximately five minutes may be necessary until an image is displayed.

The temperature indicator <TEMP> lights during the warm-up period. When the warm-up is completed, the temperature indicator <TEMP> turns off and the projection starts. Refer to “When an indicator lights up” (x page 155) for the indicator status.

ff If the operating environment temperature is low and warm-up takes more than five minutes, the projector will judge that a problem has occurred and the power will automatically be set to standby mode. If this happens, increase the operating environment temperature to 0 °C (32 °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then switch on the projector again.

ff If the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO], it may take approx. 10 seconds longer before the projector starts projecting after the power is turned on, compared with when [NORMAL] is set.

ff If the <MAIN POWER> switch was set to <OFF> during projection to end the projection using the direct power off function last time, and the <MAIN POWER> switch is set to <ON> with the power plug connected to the outlet, the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> will light in green and the image will soon be projected on the screen.
