Power management
For	reducing 	power 	consumption 	as 	well 	as 	maintaining	
the	 lamp	 life,	the	Power	 management	 function	turns	off	the	
projection 	lamp 	when 	the 	projector 	is 	not 	operated 	for 	a	
certain	period.
Select	one	of	the	following	options:
Ready 	.................. 	When	the 	lamp 	has 	been 	fully 	cooled	
down, 	the 	POWER 	indicator 	changes	
to 	green 	blinking. 	In 	this 	condition, 	the	
projection 	lamp 	will 	be 	turned 	on 	if 	the	
input	 signal	 is	reconnected	 or	any	 button	
on 	the 	top 	control 	or 	remote 	control 	is	
pressed.	
Shut down 	.......... 	When 	the 	lamp 	has 	been 	fully 	cooled	
down,	the	power	will	be	turned	off.	
Off 	....................... 	Power	management	function	is	off.	
Timer	................... 	If	the	input	signal	is	interrupted	and	
no	button	is	pressed	for	more	than	
30	seconds,	the	timer	display	with	
No 
signal 	appears.	It	starts	the	countdown	
until	the	lamp	is	turned	off.	Use	the	Point	
ed	buttons	to	set	the	 Timer(1~30min.).
✔Note:

Standby mode
This	function	is	available	when	operating	the	projector	via	
network.
	Normal	...... 	Supply	 the	power	 to	the	 network	 function	 even	
after	 turning	 off	the	 projector.	 You	can	turn	 on/
off 	the 	projector 	via 	network, 	modify 	network	
environment, 	and 	receive 	an 	e-mail 	about	
projector	 status	while	the	projector	 is	powered	
off.
	Eco 	............ 	Select	Eco	when	 you	do	not	 use	 the	projector	
via	 network.	 The	projector’s	 network	function	
will	stop	when	turning	off	the	projector.
Refer	to	the	owner’s	manual	of	“Network	Set-up	and	
Operation”.
✔Note:
•	Factory	default	is	
Eco.
•	When	selecting	
Normal ,	the	cooling	fans	may	be	running	
	depending	on	the	temperature	inside	the	projector	even	if	
	the	projector	is	turned	off.
On start
When 	this 	function 	is 	set 	to 	On ,	 the 	projector 	will 	be	
automatically 	turned 	on 	just 	by 	connecting 	the 	AC 	power	
cord	to	a	wall	outlet.	
✔ Note:
	 	Be 	sure 	to 	turn 	off 	the 	projector 	properly 	(see 	“Turning	
Off	 the	 Projector”	 on	page	 20).	If	the	 projector	 is	turned	
off	 in	the	 incorrect	 sequence,	 the	On	start	 function	 does	
not	work	properly.
Closed Caption
Closed	 Caption	 is	a	printed	 version	 of	the	 program	 sound	or	
other	 information	 displayed	on	the	 screen.	 If	the	 input	 signal	
contains 	closed 	captions, 	you 	can 	turn 	on 	the 	feature 	and	
switch 	the 	channels. 	Press 	the 	Point

Remote control
Lamp life control
This	 projector	 provides	two	different	 remote	control	codes:	
the	 factory-set	 initial	code	(Code	 1)	and	 the	secondary	 code	
(Code	 2).	This	 switching	 function	prevents	 remote	control	
interference	 when	operating	 several	projectors	 or	video	
equipment	at	the	same	time.
When	 operating	 the	projector	 in	"Code	 2",	both	 the	projector	
and	the	remote	control	must	be	switched	to	"Code	2".
To change the code for the projector:
Select	either	"Code	1"	or	"Code	2"	in	this	Setting	Menu.
To change the code for the remote control:
P r e s s 	a n d 	h o l d 	b o t h 	t h e 	M E N U 	a n d 	I M A G E 	b u t t o n s	
together	 for	5	seconds	 or	more.	 	 After	changing	 the	code,	
make	sure	the		remote	control	operates	properly.
Lamp control
Select	the	lamp	operation	when	the	total	lighting	time	of	a	
lamp	exceeds	the	recommended	total	hours	of	use.
Mode 1 	.............. 	A	lamp	can	be	turned	on	even	after	
exceeding	the	recommended	total	
hours	of	use.
Mode  	.............. 	A	lamp	can	be	turned	on	even	after	
exceeding	the	recommended	total	
hours	of	use.	But	the	projector	turns	off	
automatically	after	3	minutes.
Lamp life control
✔ Note:
•	When	different	codes	are	set	on	the	projector	and	on	the	remote	control,	any	operation	cannot	be	made.	In	
			that	case,	switch	the	code	on	the	remote	control	to	fit	the	code	on	the	projector.
•	If	the	batteries	are	removed	from	the	remote	control	for	a	long	period	of	time,	the	remote	control	code	will	be	
		reset.
✔ Note:
•	 Lamp	mode	cannot	be	changed	for	a	while	after	turning	
		on	the	projector.	Lamp	needs	some	time	to	stabilize	
		after	the	power	is	turned	on.	Stored	lamp	mode	will	be	
		active	after	the	lamp	is	stabilized.
•	If	 Mode  	has	been	selected	and	the	projection	lamp	
		exceedes	the	recommended	total	hours	of	use,	the	
		replacement	icon	will	be	displayed	at	the	time	of	power-
		on.	 Then	the	projector	will	turn	off	after	3	minutes.
	 •	 The	Lamp	replacement	icon	will	not	appear	when	the

Information
The	Warning	indicator	shows	the	state	of	the	function	which	protects	the	projector.	Check	the	state	of	the	
Warning	indicator	and	the	POWER	indicator	to	take	proper	maintenance.	
wARNING indicator
The projector is shut down and the w arning 
indicator is blinking red .
When 	the 	temperature 	inside 	the 	projector 	reaches 	a	
certain	 level,	the	projector	 will	be	automatically	 shut	down	 to	
protect	 the	inside	 of	the	 projector.	 The	POWER	 indicator	 is

projector	 has	cooled	 down	enough	 (to	its	normal	 operating	
temperature),	 it	can	 be	turned	 on	again	 by	pressing	 the	ON/
STAND-BY 	button.
The projector is shut down and the w arning 
indicator lights red .
When 	the 	projector 	detects 	an 	abnormal 	condition, 	it 	is	
automatically	 shut	down	 to	protect	 the	inside	 of	the	 projector	
and	 the	Warning	 indicator	 lights	red.	In	this	 case,	 unplug	 the	
AC	 power	 cord	and	reconnect	 it,	and	 then	 turn	the	projector	
on	 once	 again	 to	verify	 operation.	 If	the	 projector	 cannot	be	
turned	 on	and	 the	Warning	 indicator	 still	lights	 red,	unplug	
the	 AC	power	cord	and	contact	the	service	station.	
CAUTION

Filter	prevents	 dust	from	 accumulating	 on	the	 optical	 elements	 inside	the	projector.	 Should	the	filters	 become	
clogged 	with 	dust 	particles, 	it 	will 	reduce 	cooling 	fans’ 	effectiveness 	and 	may 	result 	in 	internal 	heat 	buildup	
and	 adversely	 affect	the	life	of	the	 projector.	 If	a	 “Filter	 warning”	 icon	appears	 on	the	 screen,	 clean	the	filters	
immediately.	Clean	the	filters	by	following	the	steps	below.
Clean	the	filters	softly	by	using	a	brush.3
Replace	the	filters	properly.		Make	sure	that	the	filters	
are	fully	inserted	to	the	projector.4
CAUTION
Do	not	operate	the	projector	with	the	filters	
removed.	Dust	may	accumulate	on	the	optical	
elements	degrading	picture	quality.
Do	not	put	anything	into	the	air	vents.	Doing	so	
may	result	in	malfunction	of	the	projector.
RECOMMENDATION
  w e recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments 
when you operate the projector  . Usage in these 
environments may cause poor image quality  .
	 When	using	the	projector	under	dusty	or	smoky	conditions,	 dust	may	accumulate	on	a	lens,	LCD	panels,	or	optical	
elements	inside	the	projector	degrading	the	quality	of	a	
projected	image.	When	the	symptoms	above	are	noticed,	
contact	your	authorized	dealer	or	service	station	for	proper	
cleaning.
