Quick Startup
Try the following if you do not see a projected image.
• Turn on the connected computer or video device.
• Change the screen output from the computer when using a laptop
computer.
• Insert a DVD or other video media, and press play (if necessary).
• Press the [Search] button on the control panel or remote control to detect
the source.
• Press the button for the desired video source on the remote control.
• If the Home screen is displayed, select the source you want to project.
Warning
• Never look into the projector lens when the light source is on. This can damage
your eyes and is especially dangerous for children.
• When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure
there is no one looking into the lens.
• During projection, do not block the light from the projector with a book or other
objects. If the light from the projector is blocked, the area on which the light
shines becomes hot which could cause it to melt, burn, or start a fire. Also, the
lens may get hot due to the reflected light which could cause the projector to
malfunction. To stop projection, use the A/V Mute or Shutter function, or turn
off the projector.
