InformationSelect Information from the Main Menu to see projector status information: the
currently-active source, input signal resolution, aspect ratio, picture memory and lamp
usage. This menu also displays the projector serial number.
Should you ever need to contact Vidikron Technical Support, this information will help them
answer your questions or resolve product performance issues.
SetupTo access advanced projector settings, use the up- or down-arrow keys to highlight Setup
and press ENTER. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the Setup menu passcode
when prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on the remote control.
Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Setup Menu to adjust the lamp output level. You
can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (200W; this is the default setting) or you can
choose the lower (170W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output prolongs the life of the lamp,
but decreases brightness.
Lamp Hours: When you replace the projector lamp (refer to Lamp Replacement on
page 63), you should also reset the lamp timer. To do this, select Lamp Hours from the Setup
menu. Press the right-arrow key on the remote to highlight “Yes,” then press ENTER to
confirm the reset.
Fan Mode: Select Fan Mode from the Setup Menu to control the operation of the projector’s
cooling fan.
In most cases, the default Fan Mode (Normal) will maintain the correct operating
temperature. If the lamp frequently turns off due to overheating, or in certain high-altitude
operating environments, you may need to change this setting to Hi. Altitude or Manual.
To manually set the fan speed, select Manual and press ENTER. Then, use the on-screen
slidebar to adjust the speed.
Background Color: Press the or button to select the image Background Color (black,
blue or gray). The Background Color appears when no incoming signal is present.
PIP: To enable or disable the picture-in-picture (PIP) feature, highlight PIP in the Setup menu
and press or to select On or Off.

You only need to enter the Setup menu passcode the first time you select
that menu after turning on the projector.
Reset the Lamp Timer ONLY after you replace the lamp. Otherwise, the
reported “Lamp Hours” will be inaccurate.
Do not exceed the recommended lamp life of 2000 hours. An old lamp
becomes increasingly fragile and prone to sudden failure.
