When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal:
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projec-
tor using a DVI-D signal cable (not supplied) before turning on your PC
or projector. Turn on the projector first and select DVI (DIGITAL) from
the source menu before turning on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card
resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running. If
the signal cable has been disconnected and then re-connected, an im-
age may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restar t your PC.
NOTE:
•Use the DVI-D cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group)
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI-D cable should
be within 5 m (196) long.
•The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), XGA
(1024x768) and HDTV 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 750p, 480p, 480i, 525p, 576p
and 625p.

PROJECTING AN IMAGE (BASIC OPERATION)
This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a

Tu r n ing on the Projector
NOTE:
•When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the
main power switch is pushed to the off[O] position. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the projector.
•The projector has two power switches: main power switch and POWER button
(POWER ON and OFF on the remote control)
•The projector has a feature to prevent itself from being used by unauthorized
individuals. To use this feature, register your PC card as a protect key. See
Security on page E-45 for more details.
To turn on the main power to the projector, press the Main Power switch
to the ON position ( I ).
Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video
source is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.
Only after you press the ON/STAND BY button on the projector cabinet
or POWER ON button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 sec-
onds will the power indicator turn to green and the projector become
ready to use.

When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup screen. This
screen gives you the opportunity to select one of the seven menu lan-
guages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Japa-

NOTE: To turn the projector on by plugging in the power cable, first turn on the
Main Power switch to ON and use the menu and enable the Auto Start feature.
(See page E-41.) Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may
occur. This is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp 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 projectors 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.
