Note
f
While the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in orange, the fan is running to cool the projector.
f
For about 150 seconds after the projector is switched off and the luminous lamp cooling is started, the lamp indicators do not light up even if
the power is switched on. After the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights in red, turn on the power again.
f
The projector consumes power even in standby mode (power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lit in red). Refer to “Power consumption”
(
x
page 215) for the power consumption.
f
When the projector receives the signal from the remote control, the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> will blink in the following color
according to the status of the projector.
g
When the projector is in projection mode: Green
g
When the projector is in standby mode: Orange
However, if the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO], the indicator will stay lit in red and will not blink if the
projector is in standby mode.
f
The power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> will blink slowly in green while the shutter function is in use (shutter: closed).
f
If the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> is blinking in red, consult your dealer.

Attention
f
Using the projector while the lens cover is attached may cause the device to heat up and result in a fire.
Note
f
If the projector is switched on at around 0 °C (32 °F), a warm-up period of up to five minutes (PT-DZ16K2: up to 20 minutes) may be
necessary until an image is displayed.
The temperature indicator <TEMP> lights during the warm-up period. When the warm-up is completed, the temperature indicator <TEMP>
turns off and the projection starts. Refer to “When an indicator lights up” (
x
page 179) for the indicator status display.
f
If the operating environment temperature is low and a warm-up takes more than five minutes (PT-DZ16K2: 20 minutes), the projector
will judge that a problem has occurred and the power will automatically be set to standby mode. If this happens, increase the operating
environment temperature to 0 °C (32 °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then turn on the power again.
f
If the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO], it may take approx. 10 seconds longer before the projector starts
projecting after the power is turned on, compared with when [NORMAL] is set.
f
When the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu
→
[INITIAL STARTUP] is set to [LAST MEMORY], and the power was turned off at the previous
use by pressing the <OFF> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch while projecting or with the power breaker, the power indicator <ON (G)/
STANDBY (R)> will light up in green and the image is projected after a while when the power is turned on by pressing <ON> side of the
<MAIN POWER> switch while the power plug is plugged into the outlet, or when the power breaker is turned on.
