•	 The	 [LAMP	 LIFE	REMAINING]	 and	[LAMP	 HOURS	 USED]	can	be	checked	 in	[USAGE	 TIME].	Select	[INFO.]	→	[USAGE	 TIME].	
(→ page 61)
•	 The	projector	 is	always	 in	[OFF]	 for	60	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	45	 seconds	 from	when	 the	projector	 displays	a	blue,	 black	 or	logo	 screen,	 [ECO	MODE]	 will	automatically	 switch	
to	[ON].
	 The	projector	will	return	to	the	[OFF]	mode	once	a	signal	is	accepted.
•	 If	the	projector	 becomes	overheated	 in	[OFF]	 mode	 because	 of	use	 in	a	high-temperature	 room,	there	may	be	a	case	 where	 the	
[ECO	MODE]	 automatically	 changes	to	[ON]	 mode	 to	protect	 the	projector.	 This	mode	 is	called	 “forced	 ECO	mode”.	 When	the	
projector	 is	in	 [ON]	 mode,	 the	picture	 brightness	 decreases.	 The	LAMP	 indicator’s	 steady	light	indicates	 the	projector	 is	in	 [ON]	
mode.	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	[ON]	 mode	 because	 the	internal	 temperature	 is	too	
high.

5. Using On-Screen Menu
[OPTIONS(1)]
Selecting	Fan	Mode	[FAN	MODE]
This option allows you to select three modes for fan speed: Auto mode, High speed mode, and High Altitude mode.
AUTO .....................The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according to the\
 internal temperature.
HIGH ......................The built-in fans run at high speed.
HIGH ALTITUDE .....The built-in fans run at a high speed. Select this option when using the projector at altitudes approximately 
5500 feet/1700 meters or higher.
When	you	wish	to	cool	down	the	temperature	inside	the	projector	quickly,	select	[HIGH].
NOTE: 
•	 It	is	recommended	that	you	select	High	speed	mode	if	you	use	the	projector	non-stop	for	consecutive	days.
•		 Set	[FAN	MODE]	to	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	when	using	the	projector	at	altitudes	approximately	5500	feet/1700	meters	or	higher.
•	 Using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	 meters	or	higher	 without	 setting	to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	
the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this hap\
pens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.
•		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 less	than	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	 meters	and	setting	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	
lamp	to	overcool,	causing	the	image	to	flicker.	Switch	[FAN	MODE]	to	[AUTO].
•		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1700	 meters	or	higher	 can	shorten	 the	life	of	optical	 components	 such	
as the lamp.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
Selecting	[COLOR	SYSTEM]
This feature enables you to select video standards manually.
Normally	select	[AUTO]. 	Select	 the	video	 standard	 from	the	pulldown	 menu.	This	 must	 be	done	 for	VIDEO	 and	S-
VIDEO Connectors separately.

Selecting	Power-saving	in	[STANDBY	MODE]
The	projector	has	two	standby	modes: 	[NORMAL]	and	[POWER-SAVING].
The  POWER-SAVING  mode  is  the  mode  that  allows  you  to  put  the  projector  in  the  power-saving  condition  which 
consumes less power than the NORMAL mode. The projector is preset for NORMAL mode at the factory.
NORMAL ................Power indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Green light
POWER-SAVING ....Power indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off
The following connectors, buttons or functions will not work during this\
 mode.
- PC CONTROL port, and COMPUTER OUT connector
- LAN and Mail Alert functions
- Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
- Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
NOTE: 
•	 When	[CONTROL	 PANEL	LOCK],	 [CONTROL	 ID],	or	[AUTO	 POWER	 ON(COMP.)]	 is	turned	 on,	the	[STANDBY	 MODE]	setting	is	
not available.

5. Using On-Screen Menu
Turning	On	the	Projector	By	Applying	Computer	Signal	[AUTO	POWER	ON(COMP.)]
When the projector is in Standby mode, applying a computer signal from a computer connected to the COMPUTER 
IN input will power on the projector and simultaneously project the computer’s image.
This functionality eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or the projector cabinet 
to power on the projector.
NOTE: 
•	 Disconnecting	a	computer	 signal	from	the	computer	 will	not	power	 off	the	 projector.	 We	recommend	 using	this	function	 in	com-
bination	of	the	AUTO	POWER	OFF	function.
•	 This	function	will	not	be	available	under	the	following	conditions:
-	 when	a	component	signal	is	applied	to	the	COMPUTER	IN	connector
-	 when	a	Sync	on	Green	RGB	signal	or	composite	sync	signal	is	applied
•	 To	enable	the	AUTO	POWER	ON	(COMP.)	after	turning	off	the	projector,	wait	3	seconds	and	input	a	computer	signal.
	 If	 a	computer	 signal	is	still	 present	 when	the	projector	 is	turned	 off,	the	AUTO	 POWER	 ON	(COMP.)	 will	not	work	 and	the	projector	
remains in standby mode.
Enabling	Power	Management	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]
When this option is selected you can enable the projector to automatically turn off (at the selected time: 5min., 10min., 
20min., 30min.) if there is no signal received by any input or if no operation is performed.
Selecting	Default	Source	[DEFAULT	SOURCE	SELECT]
You can set the projector to default to any one of its inputs each time the projector is turned on.
LAST ...................................Sets the projector to default to the previous or last active input each time the projector is turned 
on.
AUTO ..................................Searches for an active source in order of COMPUTER → VIDEO → S-VIDEO → COMPUTER and 
displays the first found source.
COMPUTER ........................Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER IN connector every time the projector is turned 
on.
VIDEO .................................Displays the Video source from the VIDEO IN connector every time the projector is turned on.
S-VIDEO .............................Displays the Video source from the S-VIDEO IN connector every time the projector is turned on.
Selecting	Port	for	External	Equipment	[CONTROL	 TERMINAL]	(NP215	only)
This option allows you to select a port for controlling the projector either from PC Control or over a LAN.
PC CONTROL .........Select for controlling the projector from external equipment connected to the PC CONTROL port (D-Sub 9 
Pin).
LAN ........................Select for controlling the projector from external equipment connected t\
o the LAN port (RJ-45).
NOTE: 
-	 When	[POWER-SAVING]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE],	controlling	the	projector	from	external	equipment	is	not	possible.
