❻ Optimizing Computer Signal Automatically
Adjusting the Image Using Auto Adjust
When projecting a signal from the computer video input terminal, BNC video input terminal (anlaog RGB), HDMI 1 input terminal, 
HDMI 2 input terminal, DisplayPort input terminal, adjust the picture quality with a single touch of the button if the edges of the 
screen are cut off or if the projection quality is bad.
Press the AUTO ADJ. button to optimize a computer image automatically.
This adjustment may be necessary when you connect your computer for the first time.
[Poor picture][Normal picture]
Eternet
NOTE:
Some signals may take time to display or may not be displayed correctly.
• If the Auto Adjust operation cannot optimize the computer signal, try to adjust [HORIZONTAL], [VERTICAL], [CLOCK], and [PHASE] manually. (→ page 91, 92)
❼ Turning Up or Down Volume
Sound level from the speaker can be adjusted.
Important:
• Do not turn up the volume to the maximum level on the external speaker system connected to the AUDIO OUT of the projector. Doing so may produce an unexpected, 
loud sound at the time of turning on or off the projector, causing damage to your hearing. When adjusting the volume on the external speaker system, set volume 
level of the speaker system to less than half its rating and adjust the volume on the projector to get appropriate sound level.
TIP: When no menus appear, the ◀ and ▶ buttons on the projector cabinet work as a volume control. 
NOTE:
When the on-screen menu is displayed and the screen has been enlarged using the button, the volume can-
not be adjusted using the button if the viewer or Ethernet (audio selection is Ethernet) is being displayed.

❽ Turning off the Projector
To turn off the projector:
Eternet
1. First, press the  (POWER) button on the projector cabinet 
or the STANDBY button on the remote control. 
  The [POWER OFF / ARE YOU SURE ? / CARBON SAVINGS- SES-
SION 0.000[g-CO2]] message will appear.
2. Secondly, press the ENTER button or press the  (POWER) 
or the STANDBY button again.
  The lamp will go off and the power supply will be cut. At this 
point, if there are no input signals, the projector will go into the 
standby mode after about 10 seconds. When in standby mode, 
the POWER indicator will light red and the STATUS indicator will 
light off when [NORMAL] is selected for [STANDBY MODE]. 
Power On
Steady blue light Standby
Steady red light
Press twice
 CAUTION:
Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power 
supply is disconnected during normal projector operation.
Use caution when picking up the projector.
NOTE:
•  While the POWER indicator is blinking blue in short cycles, the power cannot be turned off.
•  You cannot turn off the power for 60 seconds immediately after turning it on and displaying an image.
•  Do not unplug the power cord from the projector or from the power outlet while an image is being projected. Doing so could deteriorate the projector’s AC IN terminal 
or the power plug’s contact. To turn off the AC power while an image is being projected, use the power strip’s switch, the breaker, etc.
•  Do not disconnect the AC power supply to the projector within 10 seconds of making adjustment or setting changes and closing the menu. Doing so can cause loss of 
adjustments and settings.

❹ Changing Eco Mode/Checking Energy-Saving Effect Using Eco Mode 
[ECO MODE]
This feature enables you to select two brightness modes of the lamp:
OFF and ON modes. The lamp life can be extended by turning on the [ECO MODE].
[ECO MODE] Description
[OFF] This is the default setting (100% Brightness).
[ON]
Low lamp power consumption (approx. 80% Brightness).
To turn on the [ECO MODE], do the following: 
1.  Press the ECO 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] → [INSTALLATION] → [LAMP MODE] → [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. This is called 
“Forced ECO Mode”. When the projector is in the Forced Eco Mode, the picture brightness decreases slightly and the TEMP. indicator lights orange. At the same time the 
Thermometer symbol [ 
 ] is displayed at the bottom right of the screen.
  When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the Forced Eco Mode is cancelled and the [ECO MODE] returns to [OFF] mode.

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 
[OFF], or [ON]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].
There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] message 
shows the total amount of CO
2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can check the information on [USAGE 
TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 131)
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 SAVINGS-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 CO
2 emission reduction.
  Amount of CO
2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE − Power consumption in ON for ECO MODE) × CO2 conversion factor.* When the image 
is turned off with the AV-MUTE button the amount of CO
2 emmission reduction will also increase.
*  Calculation for amount of CO
2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008 Edition”.
•  The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
•  This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.
