[OPTIONS(2)]
Selecting	Power-saving	in	[STANDBY	MODE]
The	projector	has	three	standby	modes:	[NORMAL],	[POWER-SAVING],	and	[NETWORK	STANDBY].
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.
NORMAL ����������������Power indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Green light
-  MIC sound will not be output from speaker during this mode�
POWER-SAVING ����Power indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off
The following connectors, buttons or functions will not work during this\
 mode�
-  MONITOR OUT (COMP �) connector, AUDIO OUT connector, and MIC input jack 
- LAN and Mail Alert functions
- Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
- Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
- Virtual Remote Tool, USB Display fucntion
NETWORK STANDBY (not supported by PE501X)
 ������������������������������When in the standby mode, the POWER indicator will light orange and the STATUS indicator will not light� 
This shows that the projector’s power can be turned on by wired LAN�
When in the standby mode, the following connectors, buttons or functions\
 will not work:
-  MONITOR OUT (COMP �) connector, AUDIO OUT connector, and MIC input jack
- Wireless LAN Unit
- [AUTO POWER ON(COMP �)]
- Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
- Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
- PC control commands for other than power-on, USB Display function
NOTE:	
•	 When	 [CONTROL	 PANEL	LOCK],	 [CONTROL	 ID],	or	[AUTO	 POWER	 ON(COMP.)]	 is	turned	 on,	the	[STANDBY	 MODE]	setting	is	
not	available.
•	 Even	when	[POWER-SAVING]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE],	power	on	or	off	can	be	done	by	using	the	PC	CONTROL	port.
•	 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	Direct	Power	On	[DIRECT	POWER	ON]
Turns	the	projector	 on	automatically	 when	the	power	 cord	is	inserted	 into	an	active	 power	 outlet.	This	 eliminates	 the	
need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.

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.
To	use	this	function,	first	connect	a	computer	to	the	projector	and	the	projector	to	an	active	AC	input.
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.,	60min.)	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  → HDMI1  → HDMI2  → VIDEO  → S-VIDEO  → VIEWER 
→ NETWORK → USB DISPLAY →
 COMPUTER and displays the first found source�
COMPUTER  �����������Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
HDMI1 �������������������Displays the digital source from the HDMI 1 IN connector every time the projector is turned on� 
HDMI2 �������������������Displays the digital source from the HDMI 2 IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
