lighting is stabilized.
When the Lamp mode is set to Eco, the LAMP indicator will light green.
If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.
• If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this
condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector's internal
components to cool down.
• When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
• If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and
then turn on the power.

Press the Auto Adjust button to fine-tune the computer image or to remove any vertical banding that might appear and
to reduce video noise, dot interference or cross talk (this is evident when part of your image appears to be shimmer-
ing). This function adjusts the clock frequencies that eliminate the horizontal banding in the image. This function also
adjusts the clock phase to reduce video noise, dot interference or cross talk. (This is evident when part of your image
appears to be shimmering.)
This adjustment may be necessary when you connect your computer for the first time.
NOTE:
Some signals may not be displayed correctly or take time.
• The Auto Adjust function does not work for component and video signal.
• If the Auto Adjust operation cannot optimize the RGB signal, try to adjust Horizontal/Vertical Position Clock and Phase
manually. See page 48.
