emissions from the projector.
The Lamp mode enables you to select two brightness modes of the lamp: Normal and Quiet modes. The lamp life

Changing Lamp Mode
To change the [Lamp mode] from [Normal] to [Quiet], do the following:
1. Press the MENU button on the remote control to display the menu.
2. Select [Setup]
→
[General]
→
[Lamp mode].
3. Press the ENTER button to display the Lamp mode menu.
4. Press the button to select [Quiet] and press the OK button.
5. Press the OK button to close the menu.
NOTE:
• The projector has the Eco message function that will show the status of Quiet mode on screen. Select [Setup]

• The lamp life remaining and lamp hours used can be checked in [Usage time]. Select [Information]

[Usage time]. See page
.
• The projector will only operate in the [Quiet] mode for 90 seconds immediately after the lamp is turned on.
The lamp condition will not be affected even when [Lamp mode] is changed.
• If there is no signal for about one minute, the projector will display a blue, black or logo background (depending on setting)
and go into [Quiet].
The projector will return to the [Normal] mode once a signal is accepted.
• If the projector is overheated in Normal mode, there may be a case where the Lamp mode automatically changes to Quiet
mode to protect the projector. This is called “forced cooling operation”. When the projector is in a forced cooling operation,
the picture brightness decreases. When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the Lamp mode returns to Normal
mode.
Thermometer symbol [ ] indicates the lamp mode is automatically set to a forced cooling operation because the internal
temperature is too high. In this condition, changing [Lamp mode] setting in the menu will not affect the actual lamp mode
and the LAMP indicator lights green.
