zIf the Eco Mode is turned on, the LAMP indicator will light green when warm up starts.
zIf the projector is hot when you plug the AC power cord into a power outlet, it will go into 
a cool down state. The cool down state is indicated by the POWER/STANDBY indicator 
flashing orange.
Note that the projector will not turn on until cool down is complete, even if you press the 
[ ] (power) key.
The projector will turn on and enter the standby state after cool down is complete.
Specifying the Display Message Language
A “Language” window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the menu 
on this screen to specify the display language you want to use.
1.Use the cursor [S] and [T] keys to highlight the 
language you want to use.
2.Press the [ENTER] key.
Direct Power On
You can configure the projector so it powers up automatically as soon as you plug it into a 
power source. With this “Direct Power On” feature, you do not even need to press the [ ] 
(power) key. To enable Direct Power On, display the Setup Menu, and then change the “Direct 
Power On” setting to “On”.
zWhen you have Direct Power On enabled, do not leave the projector plugged into an 
electrical outlet while it is turned off. If you do, there is the chance that it (and the lamp) 
might turn on automatically when power is restored after being cut off by a power outage, 
tripping of a breaker, etc. 
zDirect Power On causes the projector to turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged into 
a power outlet. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes until you are ready to 
start projecting. Note, however, that the actual startup sequence (Standby State J Powe r 
On J War m Up J Projection Starts) that the projector performs is the same, regardless of 
whether Direct Power On is enabled or disabled. The only difference is what triggers the 
sequence (plugging in or pressing the [ ] (power) key). For details about the startup 
sequence that the projector performs when you plug it into a power source, see “To turn 
on the projector” on page 10.
zFor details about configuring the Direct Power On setting, see “Direct Power On” under 
“Option Settings 1 Main Menu” in the Reference Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with 
the projector.

zWhen you turn off the projector, the lamp goes out and the projector goes into a cool 
down state. Note that you will not be able to turn the projector back on again while it is 
cooling down.
zThe projector may remain quite hot for a while after you turn it off. Take care when moving 
the projector or otherwise handling it after use. 
zMake sure that the projector is cooled down sufficiently before storing it. 
To turn off the projector
1.Press the [ ] (power) key.zThis causes the confirmation message “Do you want to turn off the projector?” to appear 
in the center of the projection screen.
zIf you do not turn off the projector the confirmation message will disappear automatically 
after about 10 seconds. The confirmation message will also disappear if you press [ESC] 
key.
2.To turn off the projector, press the [ ] (power) key again in response to the 
confirmation message.
zThis causes the projector lamp to go out and stops projection.
zAlso the POWER/STANDBY indicator starts to flash amber, which indicates that the 
projector is cooling down.
zThe projector will not turn back on again while it is cooling down.
zAfter cool down is finished, the POWER/STANDBY indicator on the top of the projector 
will light amber, which indicates the standby state. You can now turn the projector back 
on, if you want.
3.After checking to make sure that the POWER/STANDBY indicator has stopped flashing 
amber and remains lit, unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet.
zThis causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to go out.
4.After ensuring that the projector and the connected computer or video device are 
turned off, disconnect the connecting cables from the projector and the connected 
device.
5.Close the lens cover.
Auto Power Off
Auto Power Off automatically turns off the projector whenever there is no input signal, and no 
operation is performed on the projector for about 30 minutes. When Auto Power Off is triggered, 
the projector first enters a cool down state, the same as it does when you press the [ ] 
(power) key to turn it off.
zWhile Direct Power On (page 11) is enabled, the projector will turn off automatically if no 
key operation is performed and no signal input is received within about 10 minutes after it 
is turned on.

zFor detailed information about projection operations, see the Reference Guide on the 
CD-ROM that comes with the projector. 
When you turn on the projector, it first checks the RGB terminal for an input signal and then 
the VIDEO terminal. When it detects an input signal, it automatically selects it and starts 
projecting the signal.
Whenever you want to manually trigger an input source search operation, press the [INPUT] key. 
zWhen the projector detects an input source (RGB, component, or VIDEO) after an auto or 
manual select operation, the name of the newly selected source will appear in the projected 
image for a few seconds. 
zThe message “No signal input.” will appear if no input signal can be selected.
To adjust the size of the projected image 
Hold down the [ZOOM +] key to increase the size of the image or the [ZOOM –] key to 
decrease it. When the image is the size you want, release the key.
Projector key operation
Press the [ZOOM] key and then hold down the [W] key to increase the size of the image, 
press the [ZOOM] key and then hold down the [X] key to decrease it. When the image is the 
size you want, release the key.
To adjust image focus
Hold down the [FOCUS S] or [FOCUS T] key. When the focus is the way you want, release 
the key.

Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image
When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and 
horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input 
source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by 
pressing the [AUTO] key. 
zYou can turn off auto adjustment when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain 
manual settings.
zThe projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in 
progress.
zIf an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to 
adjust items manually.
When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may 
have different length top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called, “keystoning”.  This 
projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which 
provides a regularly shaped projected image.
zKeystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original 
(uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image 
becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close 
to the configuration shown under “Setting Up the Projector” on page 7.
zThe center of the projector’s lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen 
(page 7).
Automatic Keystone Correction
When “On” is selected for the “Option Settings 1 J 
Auto Keystone Correction” setting of the Setup Menu, 
the projector will detect the vertical orientation of the 
object in the image and adjust its shape automatically 
so it appears as a rectangle. The message “Auto 
Keystone Corrected.” appears in the lower left corner of 
the projected image when the projector performs auto 
keystone correction. 
zThe projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are 
projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction to 
correct the image.
zAuto keystone correction is performed by detecting the elevation angle of the projector. This 
means that the surface you are projecting onto needs to be standing straight up. If the 
surface you are projecting onto is not straight, use manual keystone correction to correct 
the image.
To use manual keystone correction
1.Press the [KEYSTONE +] or [KEYSTONE –] key.zThis causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.
2.Use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE –] keys to correct for keystoning.zCorrection can be performed for keystoning within ±30°. 
3.To close the setup screen, press the [ESC] key.

Using the Setup MenuEnglish
Using the Setup MenuPressing the [MENU] key while an image is being projected displays the setup menu on the 
projected image. The setup menu can be used to configure a variety of different projector 
settings. Use the cursor keys to select and configure settings, and the [ENTER] key to register 
them.
The menu items that can be set (or displayed) depend on the current input source. In the 
following table, the “Input Source” columns indicate whether each item appears ( ) or not ( ) 
for each input source (R = RGB, C = Component, V = Video, – = No input signal). A triangle 
(
U) indicates that the item can be set (or displayed), subject to certain conditions.
zFor detailed information about settings and how they are configured, see the Reference Guide 
on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.
