Complete peripheral connections (with a computer, VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.

Basic Operation

Turning On the Projector

1

Connect the projector’s AC power cord into an AC outlet. The LAMP indicator lights red and the POWER indicator lights green.

Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the ON button on the remote control. The LAMP indicator dims and the cooling fans start to operate. The preparation display appears on the screen and the countdown starts.

4 After the countdown, the input source that was selected the last time and the Lamp control status icon (see page 55) appear on the screen.

If the projector is locked with a PIN code, PIN code input dialog box will appear.

PNote:

•When the Logo select function is set to Off, the logo will not be shown on the screen (p.52).

•When Countdown off or Off is selected in the Display function, the countdown will not be shown on the screen (p.52).

•When the Input button function is set to Mode 3, the input signal will be searched automatically (p.51).

•If you press the ON/STAND-BY button on the top control or the remote control during the countdown period, you can skip the countdown and go to the normal operations. In this case, however, the brightness of the image needs some time to stabilize after turning on the projector. The display may flicker after turning on the lamp for the characteristics of the lamp. This is normal operation and not a malfunction.

The preparation display will disappear after 30 seconds.
