Using the projector
Start up
1. Plug the power cord into the projector and into a wall socket. Turn on
the wall socket switch (where fitted). Check that the Power indicator
on the projector lights orange after power has been applied.
The power cable used in the illustration may look different
to the
power cable type used in your region. Use only the
power cable as
supplied with the projector, and which is
suitable for your region.
2. Remove the lens cap. If it is left on, it could become deformed due to
the heat produced by the projection lamp.
3. Press the
POWER on the projector or remote
control to turn the projector on. 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.
• The projector will not respond to further
commands whilst it is warming up.
• If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 90
seconds before energizing the lamp.
4. If you are prompted for a password, press the arrow buttons to enter a six digit password. See
"Utilizing the
password function" on page 24
for details.
5. Switch on all of the connected equipment.
The projector will start to search for input signals. The current input source being scanned displays in the
center of the screen. The searching message will continue displaying until an input source signal is found.
You can press SOURCE on the projector or remote control to display the selection bar and switch between
different signals. See
"Switching input signal" on page 25
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 a blank 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 51
for details.
