7 Turning off the Projector
To	turn	off	the	projector:
3. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
1. Press the POWER (ON/STAND BY) button on the projector cabi-
net or the POWER OFF button on the remote control. 
	 The	 [POWER	 OFF	/	ARE	 YOU	 SURE?	 /	CARBON	 SAVINGS-	 SES-
SION	0.000[g-CO2]]	message	will	appear.
 
2. Press the ENTER button or press the POWER(ON/STAND BY) or 
the POWER OFF button again.
	 The	 lamp	will	turn	 off	and	 the	projector	 will	go	into	 standby	 mode.	
When	 in	standby	 mode,	the	POWER	 indicator	 will	light	 orange	 and	
the	STATUS	 indicator	will	 light	green	 when	[NORMAL]	is	 selected	for	
[STANDBY	 MODE].	Immediately	 after	turning	 on	the	 projector	 and	
displaying	 an	image,	 you	cannot	 turn	off	the	 projector	 for	60	sec-
onds. 	
3. Turn off the Main Power Switch. 
	 The	power	indicator	will	go	out.
About	Direct	Power	Off
The	 projector	 has	a	feature	 called	“Direct	 Power	Off ”.	This	 feature	
allows	 the	projector	 to	be	 turned	 off	(even	 when	projecting	 an	im-
age)	 using	 the	Main	 Power	 Switch	 or	disconnecting	 the	AC	power	
supply.
NOTE:  Before  using  Direct  Power  Off,  be  sure  to  allow  at  least  20  minutes 
immediately after turning on the projector and starting to display an im\
age.
CAUTION
•	 Do	 not	unplug	 the	power	 cable	from	the	wall	 outlet	 or	projector	
when	 the	projector	 is	powered	 on.	Doing	 so	can	 cause	 damage	
to	the	 AC	IN	connector	 of	the	 projector	 and	(or)	the	prong	 plug	of	
the	power	cable. 	To	turn	off	the	AC	power	supply	when	the	projec-
tor	is	powered	on,	use	the	Main	Power	Switch.
•	 Do	 not	turn	 off	the	 AC	power	 supply	 within	10	seconds	 of	making	
adjustment	or	setting	changes	and	closing	the	menu.
	 Doing	 so	can	 cause	 loss	of	adjustments	 and	settings	 and	return	
to	default.
8 After Use
Preparation: Make	sure	that	the	main	power	is	turned	off.
1. Unplug the power cable.
2.  Disconnect any other cables.
3.  Retract adjustable tilt feet if extended.
4.  Cover the lens with the lens cap.

period	of	time. 	Press	again	to	restore	the	image	and	sound.
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.
 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 MAGNIFY (+) button to magnify the picture.
	 To	move	the	magnified	image,	use	the	,, or button.
2.  Press the  button.
	 The	area	of	the	magnified	image	will	be	moved
3.  Press the MAGNIFY (−) button.
	 Each	time	the	MAGNIFY	(−)	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.

´To	turn	on	the	[ECO	MODE],	do	the	following: 	
1. Press  the  ECO  MODE  button  on  the  remote  control  to  display 
[ECO MODE] screen.
2.  Use the  or  button to select [ON].
3.  Press the ENTER button. 
	 To	 change	 from	[ON]	 to	[OFF],	 Go	back	 to	Step	 2	and	 select	 [OFF].	
Repeat Step 3.
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].
•	 [ECO	 MODE]	is	always	 set	to	[OFF]	 for	1	minute	 immediately	 after	the	lamp	 is	
turned on. The lamp condition will not be affected even when [ECO MODE] is 
changed.
•	 After	 a	lapse	 of	1	minute	 from	when	 the	projector	 displays	a	blue,	 black	 or	
logo screen, [ECO MODE] will automatically switch to [ON]. 
•	 If	the	projector	 is	overheated	 in	[OFF]	 mode,	 there	may	be	a	case	 where	 the	
[ECO  MODE]  automatically  changes  to  [ON]  mode  to  protect  the  projector. 
When the projector is in [ON] 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 
[ON] 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	[ON]. 	This	feature	is	called	as	[CARBON	METER]. 	(→	page	33)
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	74)
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	 SAV-
INGS-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 ON for ECO MODE x 
CO2 conversion factor.*
 *  Calculation  for  amount  of  CO2  emission  reduction  is  based  on  an  OECD  publication  “CO2  Emissions  from  Fuel  Combustion, 
2008	Edition”.
•	 This	formula	will	not	apply	to	the	power	consumption	which	is	not	affected	by	whether	[ECO	MODE]	is	turned	on	or	off.
