Basic operation
After installation, the projector will require initial set-up, adjustment, alignment and
configuration; see Adjustments and settings using menus , page 15. Once this has been
done, the unit can be used simply by following these basic operational procedures.
1
1: Remove the lens cap
We recommend keeping the lens cap in place when the unit is not in use.
2: Apply Mains Power
On the application of power, the STANDBY indicator on the unit illuminates.
3: Press the OPERATE ON button for 1 second or more
• You can also press the On button on the remote having previously pressed the DILA
button
• Your video processor may be capable of turning the projector on and off when required
via RS232 command. Consult your dealer for more information.
The OPERATE indicator on the projector lights up and the projected image slowly appears.
• Upon projection, the image may flicker for a few seconds. This is not a fault.
• When the light source is turned on, the lamp will slowly become brighter. It will take
more than a minute for the brightness to stabilize.

• When video sources employing copy-protection (HDCP) are in use, it may take a while
for the image to appear, due to the projector and its source 'handshaking'
4: Adjusting zoom (image size) and focus
• These adjustments should normally be carried out as part of initial set-up. If the
message not available is displayed on-screen, these features have been locked out,
and you will need to go to the Options menu to unlock them.

The OPERATE indicator turns off, the STANDBy indicator starts blinking and the projector
switches to the cool down mode. The cool down mode will last for about 60 seconds to
allow the light source to cool off.
• The projector switches automatically into standby mode at the end of the cool down
mode.
• The OPERATE OFF button will not work until about a minute has passed after the light
source has been turned on. If necessary, wait for this to happen.
CAUTION: Do not pull out the plug when the Standby indicator is blinking. This may
shorten the lamp life and cause a malfunction.
