When you turn off the projector, the lamp goes out and the projector goes into a cool
down state. Note that you will not be able to turn the projector back on again while it is
cooling down.

The projector may remain quite hot for a while after you turn it off. Take care when moving
the projector or otherwise handling it after use. See “Precaution when Handling the Projector
after Use” (page E-8) for more information.

Auto Power Off

While Direct Power On (page E-21) is enabled, the projector will turn off automatically if no
key operation is performed and no signal input is received within about 10 minutes after it
is turned on.
