18 The following three Eco Mode settings are available to specify whether priority should be given to low-power, low-noise operation or to projection brightness. Important!zWhile “On (Auto)” is selected as the Eco Mode setting, make sure that the brightness sensor on the top of the projector is not blocked by anything. zThe local environment and setup conditions affect the brightness sensor, so operation when “On (Auto)” is selected for the Eco Mode depends on these factors. To select the Eco Mode 1.Press the [ECO] key. zThis causes “Eco Mode” window to appear on the projection screen. 2.Use the [W] and [X] keys to select the setting you want. zIf you select “On (Manual)” here, go to step 3. If you select another setting, jump to step 4. 3.Perform the following steps to adjust the “Eco Level” (the balance between low-power, quiet operation and projection brightness). 4.To hide the window, press the [ESC] key. Important!zThe Eco Mode setting automatically changes to “Off” whenever the projector is in the 3D input mode. See “3D Input Mode” (page 10). zThe “On (Auto)” setting cannot be selected for the Eco Mode while “On” is selected for “Screen Settings J Ceiling Mount” on the setup menu. If the “Ceiling Mount” setting is changed to “On” while “On (Auto)” is selected for the Eco Mode setting, the Eco Mode setting will automatically change to “On (Manual)”. zThe “On (Auto)” setting cannot be selected for the Eco Mode while “Rear” is selected for “Screen Settings J Projection Mode” on the setup menu. If the “Projection Mode” setting is changed to “Rear” while “On (Auto)” is selected for the Eco Mode setting, the Eco Mode setting will automatically change to “On (Manual)”. Eco Mode (Power Saving, Low Noise) On (Auto): A brightness sensor on the top of the projector senses surrounding light, and automatically adjusts projection brightness and color accordingly. Brightness is reduced for darker surroundings, which saves power and reduces operation noise. On (Manual): Enables manual adjustment to balance the needs of low-power, quiet operation and projection brightness. Off: Give top priority to projection brightness. 1Press the [T] key to move the highlighting to the Eco Level. 2Use the [W] and [X] keys to adjust the Eco Level to the setting you want. Fewer marks gives higher priority to projection brightness. A greater number gives high priority to low-power, quiet operation.
