Enabling Direct Power ON [Direct power on]
Turns  the  projector  on  automatically  when  the  power  cord  is  inserted  into  an  active  power  outlet.  This  eliminates 
the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or projector cabinet.
To  use  the  [Direct  power  on]  function,  you  must  first  press  the  main  power  switch  to  the  position  “On”  (I)  before 
plugging the power cord.
Enabling Power Management [Power management]
When this option is selected you can enable the projector to automatically turn off (at the selected time: 5 min., 10 
min., 20 min., 30 min.) if there is no operation with no signal received by any input.
Enabling Fan Speed Mode [Fan mode]
This option allows you to select two modes for fan speed: Auto mode and High speed mode.
On LV-7365, you can select [High altitude] as well as [Auto] and [High].
Auto ..........................................The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according to the\
 internal temperature.
High  ..........................................The built-in fans run at a fixed high speed.
High altitude (LV-7365 only)  .....The built-in fans run at a high speed. Select this option when using the projector in places at 
5500 ft./1600 m or higher.
When you wish to cool down the temperature inside the projector quickly, select [High].
NOTE: It is recommended that you select High speed mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days.
NOTE  [LV-7365]:
•  Be sure to select [High altitude] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher.   
•  Using  the  projector  at  altitudes  approximately  5500  feet/1600  meters  or  higher  without  setting  to  [High  altitude]  can  cause 
the  projector  to  overheat  and  the  protector  could  shut  down.  Furthermore,  the  projector  could  not  turn  on  due  to  the  in-
creased temperature of the lamp after power off. If these happen, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.
•  Using  the  projector  at  altitudes  less  than  approximately  5500  feet/1600  meters  and  setting  to  [High  altitude]  can  cause  the 
lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. 
•  Your Fan mode setting will not be affected even when [Reset] is done from the menu.
NOTE [LV-7265/LV-7260/LV-X7]:
• Select  [High]  in  [Fan  mode]  if  you  use  the  projector  at  a  high  altitude  or  under  low  atmospheric  pressure  because  LV-7265, 
LV-7260, and LV-X7 do not have  the [High altitude] option in [Fan mode].
•  Your Fan mode setting will be changed to [Auto] when [Reset] is done from the menu.

This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the filter and replace the lamp.
❶ Cleaning or Replacing the Filter
The air-filter sponge keeps dust and dirt from getting inside the projector and should be frequently cleaned. If the 
filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
CAUTION
• Turn off the projector, turn off the main power switch and unplug the projector before replacing the filter.
•  Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.
•  Do not attempt to operate the projector without the filter cover.
NOTE:
[LV-7365]
• When  the  projector  reaches  the  usage  time  (500  hours  at  the  factory)  specified  with  [Filter  message]  from  the  menu,  each 
time you turn on the projector, the "Please clean the filter" message will be displayed (→ page 51). When this message is dis-
played, clean the filters and reset the Filter counter (→ page 55).
•  The "Please clean the filter" message will disappear when any button on the projector or the remote control is pressed.
[LV-7265/LV-7260/LV-X7]
• When the Filter counter reaches 100 hours in [Usage time] of [Information] you can select from the menu, each time you turn 
on the projector, the "Please clean the filter" message will be displayed. When this message is displayed, clean the filters and 
reset the Filter counter (→ page 55).

filter, remove dust and dirt from the projector cabinet. Keep out dust and dirt during filter replacement.
NOTE:  When  you  replace  the  lamp,  it  is  also  wise  to  replace  the  filter.  The  filter  comes  in  the  same  package  with  your  re-
placement lamp.

❸ Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 2000*1 hours (up to 3000*1 hours in Quiet mode) or longer, the LAMP indi-
cator  in  the  cabinet  will  blink  red  and  the  message  “Replace  with  the  new  lamp.”*2  will  appear.  Even  though  the 
lamp may still be working, replace it at 2000*1 (up to 3000*1 hours in Quiet mode) hours to maintain optimal projec-
tor performance. After replacing the lamp, be sure to clear the lamp counter. See page 55.
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, 
wait  30  seconds,  turn  off  the  main  power  switch  and  then  disconnect  the  power  cord.  Allow  at  least  one  hour 
for the lamp to cool before handling.
•  DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.
•  Do not break the glass on the lamp housing.
  Keep  finger  prints  off  the  glass  surface  on  the  lamp  housing.  Leaving  finger  prints  in  the  glass  surface  might 
cause an unwanted shadow and poor picture quality.
•  The  projector  will  turn  off  and  go  into  standby  mode  after  2100
*1  (up  to  3100*1  hours  in  Quiet  mode)  hours  of 
service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000*1 hours (up to 
3000*1  hours  in  Quiet  mode)  of  use,  the  lamp  bulb  may  shatter,  and  pieces  of  glass  may  be  scattered  in  the 
lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer for 
lamp replacement.
*1 NOTE: Lamp life for LV-X7 is 3000 hours in Normal mode and 4000 hours in Quiet mode.
The projector will turn off and go into standby mode after 3100 (up to 4100 hours in Quiet mode) hours of service.
A lamp may burn out before the LAMP indicator blinks.
*2 NOTE: This message will be displayed under the following conditions:
- for one minute after the projector has been powered on
- when the POWER button on the projector cabinet or on the remote control is pressed
To turn off the message, press any button on the projector cabinet or the remote control.
To replace the lamp:
IMPORTANT:
Follow the instructions described in this section.
The  lamp  component  might  have  high  voltage  and  heat.  For  safety,  the  lamp  part  is  designed  to  prevent  the 
lamp cover from easily becoming detached.
