Adjusting the Color Mode
You may want to adjust the color mode to select a different
setting that is appropriate for the image you’re projecting and
the surroundings in which you’re projecting it.
If you’re projecting computer images, the default color mode
is
Normal, which is appropriate for presentations in bright
rooms. For video or S-Video images, the default color mode is
Theatre, which optimizes video images using natural colors.
You can also select one of these color modes:
To change the color mode, press the
Color Mode button on
the remote control. The currently selected setting appears in
the upper right corner of the screen. You can also use the
projector menu system to select the Color Mode in the Video
menu.
Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the
recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life
of the lamp and protects the projector from possible
overheating.
Note
When the projector has not received any input signals for
30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters
“sleep mode.” This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and
extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector,
unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press
the P
Power button.
1. If you’re using a computer, shut it down first.
2. To turn off the projector, press the P
Power button on the
projector or remote control. You see a confirmation message.
(If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.)
3. Press the P
Power button again. The power light flashes
orange for about forty-five seconds as the projector cools
down. When the projector has cooled, the orange light stays
on and the exhaust fan shuts off.
If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the
orange light stops flashing. Then press the P
Power button.
4. Retract the front feet as shown.
5. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord.
Caution
To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power
cord when the power light is green or flashing orange.
6. If you’re using a VCR or other video source, turn it off after
you turn off the projector.
7. Disconnect all equipment, and store the projector in the soft
case that came with it or in a protective case.
Projector Status Lights
The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s
status and let you know when a problem occurs.
If the projector is not working correctly, first turn it off and
unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the
projector. If this does not solve the problem, check the status
lights on top of the projector and try the solutions
recommended in the table on the next page.
