Shutting Down the Projector
This projector incorporates Instant Off technology. To turn it off, you 
can press its Ppower button as described below, unplug it, or turn off 
a power switch that supplies power to the projector. You don’t have to 
wait for the projector to cool down first.
1. To turn off the projector, press the Ppower
 button on the remote 
control or projector.
You see a confirmation message. 
(If you don’t want to turn it off, 
press any other button.)
2. Press the Ppower button again. The projection lamp turns off 
and the projector beeps twice. You can then unplug the power 
cord. 
If you want to turn the projector on again, make sure the orange 
Ppower light is not flashing, then press the Ppower button.
note
Lamp life will vary 
depending upon mode 
selected, environmental 
conditions, and usage. 
Turn off this product when 
not in use to prolong the life 
of the projector. 
You can set the projector to 
automatically turn off the 
lamp and enter “sleep mode” 
when it has not received any 
signals for 1 to 30 minutes 
(see page 76). This conserves 
electricity, cools the 
projector, and extends the 
life of the lamp. If you want 
to start projecting again, 
press the P power button. 
If you are done using the 
projector, unplug the power 
cord.
