Operation
Starting up the projector
1. Plug the power cord into the projector and into a
power outlet. Turn on the power outlet switch
(where fitted). Check that the POWER indicator
light on the projector lights orange after power has
been applied.
Please use the original accessories (e.g. power cord) only
with the device to avoid possible dangers such as electric
shock and fire.
2. Press POWER on the projector or ON on the remote control to start the
projector. As soon as the lamp lights up, a "Power On Tone" will be heard. The
POWER indicator light flashes green and stays green when the projector is on.
The start up procedure takes about 30 seconds. In the later stage of start up, a startup
logo is projected.
(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.
To turn off the ring tone, see "Turning off the Power On/Off Ring Tone" on page 33 for
details.
If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 90
seconds before energizing the lamp.
3. If the projector is activated for the first time,
select your OSD language following the on-
screen instructions.
4. If you are prompted for a password, press the
arrow keys to enter a six-digit password. See
"Utilizing the password function" on page 21
for details.
5. Switch all of the connected equipment on.
6. The projector will start to search for input
signals. The current input signal being scanned
displays in the upper left corner of the screen. If
the projector doesn't detect a valid signal, the
message “No Signal” will continue displaying
until an input signal is found.
You can also press SOURCE on the projector or
remote control to select your desired input
signal. See "Switching input signal" on page 23
for details.
If the frequency/resolution of the input signal exceeds
the projector's operating range, you will see the
message “Out of Range” displayed on the background
screen. Please change to an input signal which is
compatible with the projector's resolution or set the
input signal to a lower setting. See "Timing chart" on
page 54 for details.
