Power-on
1. Turn on the device connected to the projector first.
2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.
• The POWER indicator lights up.
• If the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before the
projector is cooled down completely after use, the fans may
start rotating when the power cord is plugged in next time
and the POWER button may not function. In this case, wait
for the fans to stop and press the POWER button to light the
indicator.
3. Press the POWER button on the control panel or the ON button

• It may take about one minute for the lamp to light up.

before the lamp becomes stable. This is not a product mal-
function.
• Regardless of the setting of LAMP MODE in the INSTALLA-
TION menu, the STANDARD lamp mode is activated by
default whenever the projector is turned on. The LAMP
MODE is set to either STANDARD or LOW depending on the
setting last selected, and you cannot switch the LAMP
MODE in about one minute after the lamp is on.

voltage drop, it can happen that the lamp does not turn on even if

about 10 minutes later.

pressed. During the warm-up process, images may appear dark
and no commands are accepted.
• By blinking red, the STATUS indicator indicates that the lamp
