Turning on the Projector
NOTE:
• The projector is turned on using the POWER ON button on the remote
control or the ON/STANDBY button on the projector control panel. The
mains cable should not be unplugged whilst the projector is turned on
(see ‘Turning off the Projector’ at the end of this chapter).
• The projector has a feature to prevent itself from being used by
unauthorized individuals. To use this feature, register your PC card as a
protect key. See "Security" in "Projector Options" on page 8-23 for more
details.
Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source
is turned on and that the lens hood cap is removed.
Only after you press the ON/STAND BY button on the projector cabinet or
POWER ON button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 seconds will
the power indicator turn to green and the projector become ready to use.
Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select
screen)
When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup screen. This
screen gives you the opportunity to select one of the seven menu lan-
guages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Japa-
nese.
To select a menu language, follow these steps:
1. Use the SELECT or button to select one of the seven
languages for the menu.
2. Press the ENTER button to execute the selection.
3. The Basic menu will be displayed in the language you have selected.
To close the menu, press the CANCEL button.
After this has been done, you can proceed to the advanced menu opera-
tion.
If you want, you can select the menu language later. See "Language" on
page 8-13.
NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, first turn
on the Main Power switch to ON and use the menu and enable the
"Auto Start" feature. (See page 8-16.) Immediately after turning on the
projector, screen flicker may occur. This is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5
minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.
• If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.
* If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector
detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will
not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for
the projector's internal components to cool down.
* When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not
turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
* If the lamp fails to light, and if the LAMP indicator 1 or 2 flashes on
and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on
the power.
