Basic operation (continued)
Power-off
Use the following procedure to turn off the projector. Do not
turn off the projector by unplugging the power cord while the
lamp is on. Unplugging while the lamp is on degrades the
lamp’s performance and causes failure in the projector.
1. Press the POWER button on the control panel or the OFF
button on the remote control.
• The message "POWER OFF? YES : PRESS AGAIN"
appears on the screen.
• To cancel, press any button except the POWER button.
(Some buttons on the remote control don’t function for
cancel.)
2. Press the POWER button on the control panel or the OFF
button on the remote control within 10 seconds again.
• The lamp will go out and the STATUS indicator will start
blinking.
• Though the lamp goes out at this second press of the
POWER button (or OFF button), the air outlet fans con-
tinue operating for one minute to cool down the lamp.
The STATUS indicator will stop blinking.
3. Unplug the power cord.
• The POWER indicator will go out.
• If the power cord should be unplugged accidentally
while either the air inlet fan or the air outlet fans are
operating or the lamp is on, allow the projector to cool
down for 10 minutes with the power off. To light the
lamp again, press the POWER button (or OFF button).
If the lamp doesn’t light up immediately, repeat pressing
the POWER button (or OFF button) two or three times.
If it should still fail to light up, replace the lamp.
Important:
• When storing the projector in the provided carrying case,
the lens should face up.
AUTO POSITION button
When the image isn’t projected in the right position with COM-
PUTER selected as the input source, follow the procedure
below.
1. Project a bright image such as the "Recycle Bin" window
on the full screen.
2. If the screen saver is running, turn it off.
3. Press the AUTO POSITION button.
• If the image is still not in the right position, adjust the
image position using the SIGNAL menu. See page 19.
Volume from the speaker
Press the VOLUME + or -button to change the volume
from the speaker.
The volume control bar will appear on the screen.
• The volume control bar will disappear about 10 seconds
after the VOLUME button is released.
• The VOLUME buttons don’t function while the menu selec-
tion bar or the menu is being displayed.
• When a high-level audio signal, such as a DVD audio signal,
is supplied to the AUDIO IN terminal, the output from the
speaker may be distorted.
AV mute
The video and audio signals are temporarily muted when the
MUTE button is pressed. To cancel muting, press the MUTE
button again.
ANAMORPHIC mode
When playing DVD discs containing data of letterboxed image,
press the 16:9 button. Exit the ANAMORPHIC mode, by press-
ing the 16:9 button again.
Important:
• When a letterboxed image is kept displayed for a long time
before displaying 4:3 image, the afterimages of the black
bars may appear on the 4:3 image screen. Consult your
dealer in this case.
Caution:
• After using the projector, wait one minute for the air outlet
fans to stop. Then unplug the power cord from the wall out-
let.
• The lamp can’t be lit again for one minute after turned off for
safety purpose. It will take another one minute for the STA-
TUS indicator to go out. If you want to turn on the projector
again, wait until the indicator goes out, and then press the
POWER button.
• The air outlet fans rotate faster as the temperature around
the projector rises.
• When the temperature around the projector rises high, the
sign "TEMPERATURE!!" blinks red on the screen. If the
temperature stays high, the lamp will go out automatically.
Important:
• Do not display a still picture for a long time because the
afterimages may persist on the screen.
