chime to play when starting the projector. Volume adjustments can also be 
made from the projector ’s keypad. Sources: Power-up Source determines which source the projector checks 
first for active video during power-up. When the Autosource feature is On, 
the projector automatically finds the active source, checking the selected 
Power-up Source first. The source options are Computer for a computer, 
progressive DVD, or HDTV source, and S-video and Composite for video 
sources. When this feature is Off, the projector defaults to the source 
selected in Power-up Source. To display another source, you must manually

Screen Save mode. The projector must be connected to the PC via a USB 
cable for this feature to work. Pow e r  S av e: automatically turns the lamp off 
after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes 
with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received 
before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. After an 
additional 10 minutes with no signal, the projector powers down and can be 
toggled off. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, 
the image will be displayed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is 
disabled. Screen Save automatically blanks the screen with a black color 
after no signals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image 
returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is 
pressed.
