[OPTIONS(2)]
Selecting Power-saving in [STANDBY MODE]
The	projector	has	two	standby	modes:	[NORMAL]	and	[NETWORK	ST ANDBY].
The	NORMAL	mode	is	the	mode	that	allows	you	to	put	the	projector	in	the	pow er-saving	condition	which	consumes	
less	power	than	the	NETWORK	STANDBY	mode.
NORMAL �����������������������POWER indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off
When [NORMAL] is selected, only the following buttons and feature will w\
ork:
POWER buttons on the projector cabinet and the remote control, powering \
on from PC Control com-
mand, and AUTO POWER ON�
NETWORK STANDBY ����POWER indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Off
When [NETWORK STANDBY] is selected, the projector can be turned on over a wired LAN/wire\
less LAN 
connection and only the following buttons, terminals, and features will \
work:
POWER buttons on the projector cabinet and the remote control, powering \
on from PC Control command, 
AUTO POWER ON, Operation by User Supportware, Network service, Program Timer�
Important:
•	 When	[NETWORK	STANDBY]	is	selected,	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]	will	turn	in	grey	and	be	disabled	and	[0:10]	will	be	selected	auto-
matically	for	[AUTO	POWER	OFF].
•	 In	the	below	conditions,	setting	of	the	[STANDBY	MODE]	is	disabled	and	the	projector	will	go	into	the	SLEEP	mode*.
*	 Sleep	mode	refers	the	mode	without	functional	restrictions	by	the	[STANDBY	MODE].	Power	consumption	in	the	SLEEP	mode	
is	relatively	higher	than	the	[NETWORK	STANDBY]	mode.	The	Status	indicator	turns	on	in	Green.
	 When	[STANDBY	MODE]	→	[NETWORK	STANDBY]	is	selected
-	 When	[NETWORK	SERVICE]	→	[AMX	SETTINGS]	→	[ENABLE]	is	selected	
-	 When	[NETWORK	SERVICE]	→	[CRESTRON	SETTINGS]	→	[CRESTRON	CONTROL]	→	[ENABLE]	is	selected
-	 When	[NETWORK	SETTINGS]	→	[WIRELESS	LAN]	→	Except	for	[DISABLE]	and	mounting	the	wireless	LAN	unit	to	the	projector
-	 When	the	signal	is	input	to	the	computer,	HDMI	1	IN	or	HDMI	2	IN	terminals
NOTE:	
•	 When	an	HDBaseT	transmitter	is	connected	to	the	Ethernet/HDBaseT	port,	if	the	projector	is	in	the	standby	mode,	the	projector	
cannot	be	controlled	(the	power	cannot	be	turned	on),	regardless	of	the	[STANDBY	MODE]	setting.
TIP:	
•	 Even	when	[NORMAL]	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	pow er	outlet.	This	eliminates	the	
need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.

Turning	On	the	Projector	By	Applying	Computer	Signal	[AUTO	POWER	ON]
When	the	projector	is	in	Standby	mode,	applying	a	computer	or	HDMI	signal	from	a	computer	connected	to	the	COM-
PUTER	IN	input,	HDMI1,	or	HDMI2	input	will	power	on	the	projector	and	simultaneously	project	the	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	terminal
-	 when	a	Sync	on	Green	RGB	signal	or	composite	sync	signal	is	applied
•	 To	enable	the	AUTO	POWER	ON	after	changing	to	the	sleep	mode	turning	off	the	projector,	wait	5	seconds	and	input	a	computer	
or	HDMI	signal.
	 If	a	computer	or	HDMI	signal	is	still	present	when	the	projector	is	turned	off,	the	AUTO	POWER	ON	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.,	
15min.,	20min.,	30min.,	60min.)	in	one	of	the	below	conditions.
-	 No	signal	is	received.
-	 The	thumbnail	screen	is	displayed.
-	 No	operation	is	performed.
NOTE:
•	 This	item	can	be	selected	only	when	[NORMAL]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE].
•	 When	[NETWORK	STANDBY]	is	selected,	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]	will	turn	grey	in	color	and	be	disabled	to	select,	[0:15]	will	be	
selected	automatically.

Use	this	to	get	a	general	idea	of	what	the	screen	size	will	be	when	set	in	a	certain	position,	what	size	screen	you	will	
need,	and	what	distance	you	will	need	to	project	images	of	the	desired	size.
The	projection	distance	range	at	which	focusing	is	possible	is	0.79	m	(for	a	30	model)	to	14.19	m	(for	a	300	model).	
Install	within	this	range.
