Chapter 5: Setting up your TV

Setting the Power-On Mode feature

You can select either Power-Savingor Fast mode.

If you select Power-Savingmode and you turn off the TV, it can take several seconds for the picture to appear when you turn on the TV again. Power-Savingmode saves more power than Fast mode. See “Specifications” on page 66 for details.

If you select Fast mode and the TV is turned off, the TV will stay in Standby mode for several minutes (see Note below). If the TV is turned on from Standby mode, the full picture appears immediately.

To set the Power-On Mode feature:

Fast

Note: If Power-On Mode is set to Fast and you turn off the TV, the following will occur for a few minutes:

The screen (lamp) lights dimly; and

The fans continue to run.

This is a function of the Power-On Fast Shutdown mode and is not a TV malfunction. If you do not prefer this, set the Power- On Mode feature to Power-Saving.

When the Power-On Mode feature is set to Power-Saving, if you repeatedly turn the TV on and off in a short period of time, the useful service life of the lamp may be shorter than the average useful service life (- page 63).

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT HOT LAMP RESTART

When the TV has been powered on long enough for the lamp unit to get hot, it may take several minutes for the picture to appear in the following situations:

When the Power-On Mode feature is set to Power- Saving and you turn the TV off and then on again within a few minutes; or

If the TV is on when a short-term power failure, power surge, or other similar power failure occurs, such that the TV loses and regains power within a few minutes.

This is a property of DLP® TV lamp technology and is NOT a sign of malfunction.

If this occurs, the yellow LED on the TV front panel will blink (and the blue LED will be lit solid) until the TV is finished restarting the lamp and the normal picture appears. If both LEDs are blinking, you will need to turn the TV off and then on again to restart the lamp.
