Hiding the image
In order to draw the audiences full attention to the presenter, you can 
use BLANK on the projector or remote control to hide the screen 
image. Press any key on the projector or remote control to restore the 
image. The word BLANK appears at the lower right corner of the 
screen while the image is hidden.
You can set the blank time in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Blank 
Timer menu to let the projector return the image automatically after a 
period of time when there is no action taken on the blank screen. 
Once BLANK is pressed, the projector enters Economic mode 
automatically.
Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to become 
heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
Locking control keys
With the control keys on the projector locked, you can prevent your projector settings from being changed 
accidentally (by children, for example). When the Panel Key Lock is on, no control keys on the projector 
will operate except POWER.
1. Press   on the projector or remote control or go to the 
SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Panel Key Lock menu, and select On 
by pressing  /  on the projector or remote control. 
2. A confirmation message is displayed. Select Yes to confirm.
To release panel key lock, press any key of the projector once to display 
the panel key lock warning. With the warning being displayed, press 
 on the projector or remote control again. (Press and hold the key 
on the projector for 3 seconds.)
You can also use the remote control to enter the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Panel Key Lock menu and 
press /  to select Off.
• Keys on the remote control are still in use when panel key lock is enabled.
• If you press  POWER to turn off the projector without disabling panel key lock, the projector 
will still be in locked status the next time it is turned on.
Freezing the image
Press FREEZE on the remote control to freeze the image. The word 
FREEZE will be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. To  
release the function, press any key on the projector or remote control.
Even if an image is frozen on the screen, the pictures are running on 
the video or other device. If the connected devices have active audio 
output, you will still hear the audio even though the image is frozen on 
screen.
Do not keep displaying a still picture for an extended period of 
time, as the afterimages may linger on the screen.

Watching 3D content
This projector supports 3D content display using the DLP Link system.
This projector supports 3D image signals in Frame Sequential/Frame Packing/Top-Bottom/Side-By-Side 
format. 
You need the following items to project and watch 3D content.
• 3D content capable device. For example, a computer with graphics board and software capable of 
outputting 3D images
• 3D content
• DLP-Link active electronic shutter 3D glasses (144Hz Compatible)
Not all 3D glasses are guaranteed to work correctly.
Supported 3D signal 
For supported timings in different 3D formats, see Timing chart on page 70 for details.
To watch 3D content from a computer:
1. Connect the projector to a computer with a computer cable.
When connecting the projector to a computer, make sure you switch the computers output signal 
so that it is only outputting to the projector (do not use dual mode).
2. Output a 3D signal from the computer connected to the projector.
3. Turn on the DLP-Link system 3D glasses, and wear them to enjoy the content.
4. Choose an appropriate 3D format for the 3D setting.
5. If you cannot see 3D objects, change the 3D Sync setting from the OSD.
To watch 3D content from an HDMI device:
1. Connect the projector to a computer with an HDMI cable.
2. Output a 3D signal from the HDMI device connected to the projector.
3. Turn on the DLP-Link system 3D glasses, and wear them to enjoy the content.
4. The default setting of the 3D menu is Auto and the projector automatically chooses an appropriate 
3D format when detecting 3D contents. If the projector cannot recognize the 3D format, change the 
3D setting and choose a 3D mode.
5. If you cannot see 3D objects, change the 3D Sync setting from the OSD.
• It may be difficult to view 3D images if the room is too bright. Also, if there are fluorescent 
lights (50 Hz) in the room, the light may flicker when using 3D glasses. If this happens, turn 
down or turn off the fluorescent light.
• You cannot change the image mode when viewing 3D content.
Cautions when viewing 3D content
• 3D content should not be viewed by people with a history of photosensitive epilepsy, people 
with heart conditions, pregnant women, the elderly, people with serious illnesses, or people 
with a history of epileptic seizures.
Viewing 3D content could aggravate their pre-existing conditions.
• Do not view 3D content if you are feeling unwell or are tired.
In addition, do not view 3D content if you are sleep deprived or inebriated.
• If you notice any of the following symptoms, stop viewing the 3D content immediately and wait 
until the symptoms subside.
- If the image appears to be doubled or if the 3D effect is not clear.
- Stop viewing if you feel your physical condition change, such as if you feel fatigued or 
unwell.
- When enjoying 3D content that rotates, rolls, or shakes you may feel as if you are were 
moving, which can trigger a form of sea sickness.
• Viewing 3D content for too long may cause eyestrain. To avoid this, be sure to take regular 
breaks.
Viewing 3D content for too long or viewing them from an angle may cause eyestrain and so on. 
						

							45
ENGLISH
• Children viewing 3D content should always be accompanied by an adult.
Children may not tell you if they are feeling unwell when viewing 3D content, so always be sure 
to check with the child.
The minimum recommended age for viewing 3D content is six years old.
• Make sure you are at an appropriate distance from the front of the screen when viewing 3D 
content.
Make sure you are at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when 
viewing 3D content, and that your eyes are level with the screen.
• The image source may be reversed.
Check that the settings are correct and that the 3D effect is being correctly applied.
If the image is inversed and the left and right eye images are swapped, the 3D effect does not 
work, which could cause eye strain or cause you to feel unwell.
