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:	Orange	light /STATUS	indicator:	Off
The	following	connectors,	buttons	or	functions	will	not	work	during	this	mode.
-	PC	CONTROL	por t
-	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.
•	 The	power	consumption	in	the	standby	mode	will	not	be	included	in	calculating	CO2	emission	reduction.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
Enabling Auto Power On [AUTO POWER ON(AC)]
Turns	the	projector	 on	automatically	 when	the	power	 cable	is	inserted	 into	an	active	 power	 outlet.	 This	eliminates	
the	need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.
Turning On the Projector By Applying RGB Signal [AUTO POWER ON(COMP.)]
When	 the	projector	 is	in	 Standby	 mode,	applying	 an	RGB	 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.
To	use	this	function,	first	connect	a	computer	to	the	projector	and	the	projector	to	an	active	AC	input.
NOTE:	
•	 Disconnecting	 an	RGB	 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	pro-
jector	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	the	COMPUTER,	VIDEO,	or	S-VIDEO	input.

7. Maintenance
This	section	 describes	 the	simple	 maintenance	 procedures	you	should	 follow	to	clean	 the	focus	 sensor,	 lens	and	
replace	the	lamp	and	the	cooling	pump.
➊
 Cleaning the Lens and Focus Sensor
Cleaning the lens
Use	a	blower	or	lens	paper	to	clean	the	lens,	and	be	careful	not	to	scratch	or	mar	the	lens.
Cleaning the focus sensor
Use	a	blower	or	lens	paper	to	clean	the	focus	sensor.
Keep	 finger	 prints	off	the	 focus	 sensor.	 Leaving	 finger	prints	in	the	 focus	 sensor	 might	cause	 poor	focus	 or	short	
auto	focus	range.
➋
 Cleaning the Cabinet
1.  Turn off the projector before cleaning.
2. Vacuum the ventilation inlet of the cabinet.
CAUTION:
When	 cleaning	 the	speaker	 us-
i n g	a	v a c u u m	 c l e a n e r,	 d o	n o t	
force	 the	brush	 of	the	 vacuum	
cleaner	 into	the	slits	 of	the	 cabi-
net.
Applying	 strong	pressure	 or	pos-
sibly	 impacting	 the	speaker	 may	
cause	a	malfunction.

7. Maintenance
➌ Replacing the Lamp and the Cooling Pump
When	 the	lamp	 reaches	 the	end	 of	its	 life,	 the	LAMP	 indicator	 in	the	 cabinet	 will	blink	 red.	Even	 though	 the	lamp	
may	 still	be	working,	 replace	the	lamp	 to	maintain	 the	optimal	 projector	 performance.	 After	replacing	 the	lamp,	 be	
sure	to	clear	the	lamp	hour	meter.	(→	page	77)
 CAUTION
•	 The	optional	lamp	comes	with	the	cooling	pump.
	 After	replacing	the	lamp,	be	sure	to	replace	the	cooling	pump,	too.
•	 DO	NOT	TOUCH	THE	LAMP	immediately	after	it	has	been	used.	It	will	be	extremely	hot.	Turn	the	projector	off,	
wait	 for	the	 cooling	 fans	to	stop	 and	then	 disconnect	 the	power	 cable.	Allow	at	least	 one	hour	 for	the	 lamp	 to	
cool	before	handling.
•	 DO	 NOT	REMOVE	 ANY	SCREWS	 except	one	lamp	 cover	 screw	 and	two	lamp	 housing	 screws.	You	could	 re-
ceive	an	electric	shock.
•	 Do	not	break	the	glass	on	the	lamp	housing.
	 Keep	 finger	prints	off	the	 glass	 surface	 on	the	 lamp	 housing.	 Leaving	finger	prints	in	the	 glass	 surface	 might	
cause	an	unwanted	shadow	and	poor	picture	quality.
•	 The	projector	 will	turn	 off	and	 go	into	 standby	 mode	when	you	continue	 to	use	 the	projector	 for	another	 100	
hours	after	the	lamp	 has	reached	 the	end	 of	its	 life.	 If	this	 happens,	 be	sure	 to	replace	 the	lamp.	 If	you	 con-
tinue	 to	use	 the	lamp	 after	the	lamp	 reaches	 the	end	 of	its	 life,	 the	lamp	 bulb	may	shatter,	 and	pieces	 of	glass	
may	be	scattered	in	the	lamp	case.	Do	not	touch	them	as	the	pieces	of	glass	may	cause	injury.	If	this	happens,	
contact	your	NEC	dealer	for	lamp	replacement.
To replace the lamp:
	Optional	lamp,	cooling	pump	and	tools	needed	for	replacement:
•	 Replacement	lamp	with	cooling	pump:	NP09LP	(NP64/NP63)	or	NP08LP	(NP54/NP43)
•	 Phillips	screwdriver	or	equivalent
1.  Place the projector on a soft cloth and turn it over to access the lamp cover on the bottom.
2. Loosen  the  lamp  cover  screw  until  the  screwdriver  goes  into  a  freewheeling  condition  and  remove  the 
lamp cover.
 The lamp cover screw is not removable.

7. Maintenance
3. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the phillips screwdriver goes into a freewheeling 
condition.
 The two screws are not removable.
 Remove the lamp housing by holding the handle.
Interlock
NOTE:	There	is	an	interlock	on	this	case	to	prevent	the	risk	of	electrical	shock.	Do	not	attempt	to	circumvent	this	interlock.
Fig. AFig. BFig. C
Note: Removing or Inserting the Lamp (Sticking of Packing Ring)
After	lamp	replacement,	a	black	packing	ring	may	be	stuck	inside	the	projector	(Fig.	A	and	Fig.	B).
If	this	happens,	do	the	following:
•	 If	 the	used	 packing	 ring	does	 not	remain	 inside	the	projector	 (Fig.	C),	proceed	 with	the	new	 lamp	 housing	 in-
stallation.
•	 If	 the	used	 packing	 ring	is	stuck	 inside	 the	projector	 (Fig.	B),	remove	 it	from	 inside	 the	projector	 before	install-
ing	the	new	lamp	housing.	To	remove	the	packing	ring,	simply	pull	it	off	of	the	stud.
*	 In	other	 cases	 where	 the	lamp	 is	removed	 (other	than	lamp	 replacement),	 pulling	out	the	 lamp	 housing	 may	
also	cause	 the	packing	 ring	to	stay	 stuck	 inside	 the	projector.	 If	this	 happens,	 make	sure	to	insert	 the	lamp	
housing	back	in	its	original	position.
 CAUTION
•	 Before	 removing	the	used	 packing	 ring,	be	sure	 to	turn	 off	the	 projector,	 wait	for	the	 cooling	 fan	to	stop,	 dis-
connect	the	power	cable,	and	allow	at	least	one	hour	for	the	lamp	to	cool.
	 The	projector	can	become	very	hot	when	it	is	turned	on	and	stay	hot	immediately	after	it	is	turned	off.
•	 Do	 not	install	 a	new	 lamp	 with	the	used	 packing	 ring	stuck	 inside	 the	projector	 as	it	requires	 excessive	
force	to	install	the	new	lamp	which	then	may	cause	damage	to	the	projector.

7. Maintenance
This completes the lamp replacement.
Go on to the cooling pump replacement.
To	replace	the	cooling	pump:
6. Remove the cooling pump.
 (1) Loosen the cooling pump cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a freewheeling condition.
 - The cooling pump cover screw is not removable.
5. Reattach the lamp cover.
 Tighten the lamp cover screw.
 Be sure to tighten the screw.
4. Push the part as shown on the drawing and insert a new lamp housing until it is plugged into the socket.
CAUTION
Do	not	use	a	lamp	other	than	the	NEC	replacement	lamp	NP09LP	(NP64/NP63)	or	NP08LP	(NP54/NP43).
Order	this	from	your	NEC	dealer.
 Secure it in place with the two screws.
NOTE:	 Tighten	 the	two	 screws	 alternately	 until	both	 screws	 are	completely	 tightened.	Failure	to	do	 this	 can	result	 in	air	 leak	
from	the	cooling	pump,	causing	the	pump	error.	(→	page	83)
