PROJECTING AN IMAGE (BASIC OPERATION)

This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a
picture onto the screen.

Turning on the Projector

NOTE:
• The projector has two power switches: main power switch and POWER (ON/
STAND BY) button.
• When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the
main power switch is pushed to the off (O) position. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the projector.
To turn on the main power to the projector, press the Main Power switch
to the on position ( I ).
Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video
source is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.
Only after you press the POWER (ON/STAND BY) button on the pro-
jector cabinet or 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 19 menu languages:
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Japanese, Korean,
the Simplified Chinese, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Greek, Turkish,
Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish, Portuguese and Czech.
To select a menu language, follow these steps:
1. Use the SELECT G or H button to select one of the 19 languages for
the menu.
2. Press the ENTER button to execute the selection.
After this has been done, you can proceed to the menu operation.
If you want, you can select the menu language later. See "Language"
on page E-22.
NOTE: 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 STATUS indicator flashes on and
off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the
power.
