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 (V300X/V260X) - 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 CO 2 emission reduction. • Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu.

This eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or projector cabinet.
64 5. Using On-Screen Menu Turning On the Projector By Applying Computer Signal [AUTO POWER ON(COMP.) for V230X/V260/ V230/[AUTO POWER ON(COMP1) ] for V300X/V260X] When the projector is in Standby mode, applying a computer signal from a computer connected to the COMPUTER IN input (COMPUTER 1 IN on V300X/V260X) 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 (COMPUTER 1 IN on V300X/V260X) connector - when a Sync on Green RGB signal or composite sync signal is applied • To enable the AUTO POWER ON (COMP .)/AUTO POWER ON (COMP1) 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.)/AUTO POWER ON (COMP1) 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 ...................................
