21 2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation) Correcting Keystone Distortion Manually If the screen is tilted vertically, keystone distortion becomes large. Automatic Keystone Correction function is turned on at the time of shipment. To correct keystone distortion manually, proceed with the following steps to correct keystone distortion. NOTE: • The Keystone correction can cause an image to be slightly blurred because the correction is made electronically. • The Keystone correction range can be made narrower, depending on a signal or its aspect ratio selection. Adjusting with buttons on the cabinet 1. Press the or button with no menus displayed. The keystone bar will be displayed. 2. Use the or to correct the keystone distortion.

Use caution when picking up the projector. NOTE: • While the power indicator is blinking blue in short cycles, the power cannot be turned off. • You cannot turn off the power for 60 seconds immediately after turning it on and displaying an image. • Do not disconnect the AC power supply to the projector within 10 seconds of making adjustment or setting changes and closing the menu. Doing so can cause loss of adjustments and settings.
25 2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation) After Use Preparation: Make sure that the projector is turned off. 1. Unplug the power cord. 2. Disconnect any other cables. • Remove the USB memory if it is inserted into the projector. 3. Retract adjustable tilt foot if extended. 4. Slide the lens cover to the right to cover the lens. 5. Put the projector and accessories in the supplied soft case. Place the projector in the soft case with the lens facing upward as shown below. This is to prevent the lens from damage. NOTE: When placing the projector in the soft case, retract the tilt foot and the rear feet. Failure to do so may case damage to the projector. CAUTION: Use caution when putting the projector in the soft case immediately after the projector has been operating. The projector cabinet is hot. Insert the projector with the lens facing upward
26 1 Turning off the Image and Sound Press the AV-MUTE button to turn off the image and sound for a short period of time. Press again to restore the image and sound. The projector’s power-saving function will work 10 seconds after the im- age is turned off. As a result, the lamp power will be reduced. NOTE: • Even though the image is turned off, the menu still remains on the screen. • Sound from the AUDIO OUT jack (Stereo mini) can be turned off. • Even when the power-saving function works, the lamp power may be restored to its original level temporarily. • To restore the image, even if you press the AV-MUTE button immediately after the start of the power-saving function, the lamp brightness may not be restored to its original level. Freezing a Picture Press the FREEZE button to freeze a picture. Press again to resume motion. NOTE: The image is frozen but the original video is still playing back. Enlarging a Picture You can enlarge the picture up to four times. NOTE: The maximum magnification may be less than four times depending on the signal. To do so: 1. Press the D-ZOOM (+) button to magnify the picture. To move the magnified image, use the ,, or button. 3. Convenient Features
27 3. Convenient Features Changing Eco Mode/Checking Energy-Saving Effect Using Eco Mode [ECO MODE] The ECO MODE (NORMAL and ECO) increases lamp life, while lowering power consumption and cutting down on CO2 emissions. Four brightness modes of the lamp can be selected: [OFF], [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL] and [ECO] modes. [ECO MODE] DescriptionStatus of LAMP indicator [OFF]The lamp brightness is 100%.Off [AUTO ECO]Lamp power consumption will be changed between [OFF] and [NORMAL] automatically according to picture level NOTE: A bright gradation may be less visible depending on the image. [NORMAL]Lamp power consumption. (approx.80% brightness on M311X/M271X/M271W and approx. 75% on M361X/M311W) The lamp life will extend by lowering the lamp power. Steady Green light [ECO] Lamp power consumption (approx. 60% brightness). The lamp life will extend longer than the one on NORMAL mode by controlling power appropriate for the lamp. The maximum power becomes equivalent to the power in NORMAL. To turn on the [ECO MODE], do the following: 1. Press the ECO Button on the remote control to display [ECO MODE] screen. 2. Press the ECO button again to select a mode you wish. • Each time the ECO button is pressed, the choices will be changed: OFF → AUTO ECO → NORMAL → ECO → OFF TIP: • The leaf symbol at the bottom of the menu shows the current selection of ECO mode. 2. Press the button. The area of the magnified image will be moved 3. Press the D-ZOOM (−) button. Each time the D-ZOOM (−) button is pressed, the image is reduced. NOTE: • The image will be enlarged or reduced at the center of the screen. • Displaying the menu will cancel the current magnification.
28 3. Convenient Features NOTE: • The [ECO MODE] can be changed by using the menu. Select [SETUP] → [GENERAL] → [ECO MODE]. • The lamp life remaining and lamp hours used can be checked in [USAGE TIME]. Select [INFO.] →[USAGE TIME]. • The projector is always in [NORMAL] for 90 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green. The lamp condition will not be affected even when [ECO MODE] is changed. • After a lapse of 1 minute from when the projector displays no-signal guidance, a blue, black or logo screen, [ECO MODE] will automatically switch to [ECO]. • If the projector is overheated in [OFF] mode, there may be a case where the [ECO MODE] automatically changes to [NORMAL] mode to protect the projector. When the projector is in [NORMAL] mode, the picture brightness decreases. When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the [ECO MODE] returns to [OFF] mode. Thermometer symbol [ ] indicates the [ECO MODE] is automatically set to [NORMAL] mode because the internal temperature is too high. Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER] This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE] is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER]. There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 96) The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO2 emission reduction between the time of changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS- SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE?] message at the time of power-off. TIP: • The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO2 emission reduction. Amount of CO2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE − Power consumption in AUTO ECO/NORMAL/ ECO for ECO MODE) × CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off with the AV-MUTE button or with the lens cover closed, the amount of CO2 emmission reduction will also increase. * Calculation for amount of CO2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008 Edition”. • The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals. • This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.
