Runco VX-50d, VX-40d, VX-80d Working With the Lamp, Originally expected may no longer be possible

Installation

•Color Enable: Select which color or colors you want to see in the display. This is useful while working with color temperature white levels or input levels.

When you have finished calibrating Input 1, change the Display Device Input Source to DVI (Input 2) if that input will be used; refer to Selecting the Input Source on page 36. Then, repeat the procedure described in this section (starting with Channel Setup) for Input 2.

After calibrating projector Input 2, proceed with the next section, Working With the Lamp.

Access the Lamp menu to:

•Choose a lamp mode for regulating power and light output.

•Change the optical aperture size.

•View information pertaining to past and present lamps.

•Record the lamp serial number in the projector’s memory.

Lamp Hours (read-only):Lamp Hours shows the number of hours logged on the current lamp. Whenever you record a new lamp serial number, the VX-40d/-50d/-60d/-80d automatically resets this value to “0” and begins to log time for the new lamp.

Lamp S/N (read-only):Lamp S/N is the serial number recorded for the current lamp. When you install a new lamp and enter its serial number, the number appears here.

Lamp Message: Enter a check mark for Lamp Message to enable a warning message that appears upon power-up when the lamp has reached the specified lamp limit and should be replaced. Delete the check mark to prevent display of this message—instead, when your lamp expires, only the status display messages on the back of the projector will provide a visual warning to replace the lamp.

1. It is recommended that the Lamp Message check box remain

Note enabled.

2.When a lamp warning message appears, press EXIT to temporarily cancel the message. The message will continue to appear upon power-up until you install a new lamp.

Lamp Limit: Set Lamp Limit to the number of hours you expect to log on the current lamp before replacing it. This will trigger a lamp message on-screen (if enabled).

Note	1. If you change modes over the life of a lamp, the lamp limit you
	originally expected may no longer be possible.

2.Turning the lamp on and off reduces lamp life significantly, as do other factors.

3.It is recommended that Lamp Limit not exceed the expected lamp life, otherwise a lamp could become dangerously fragile with overuse.
