Hiding the image
In order to draw the audience's full attention to the presenter, you can use   on the 
projector or Blank on the remote control to hide the screen image. Press any key on the 
projector or remote control to restore the image. The word 'BLANK' appears at the lower 
right corner of the screen while the image is hidden.
You can set the blank time in the 
SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Blank Timermenu to
let the projector return the image automatically after a period of time when there is no action 
taken on the blank screen. 
Once Blank is pressed, the projector enters Economic mode automatically.
CAUTION
Do not block the projection lens from projecting as this could cause the blocking object to 
become heated and deformed or even cause a fire.
Locking control keys
With the control keys on the projector locked, you can prevent your projector settings from 
being changed accidentally (by children, for example). When the Panel Key Lock is on, no 
control keys on the projector will operate except POWER.
1. Press   on the projector or Lock on the remote control, or go to the 
SYSTEM 
SETTING: BASIC > Panel Key Lock menu
, and select On by pressing  /  on 
the projector or remote control. 
2. A confirmation message is displayed. Select Yes to confirm.
To release panel key lock, press and hold   on the projector or Lock  on the remote 
control for 3 seconds.
You can also use the remote control to enter the SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Panel 
Key Lock menu and press  /  to select Off.
• Keys on the remote control are still functional when panel key lock is enabled.
• If you press  POWER to turn off the projector without disabling panel key lock, the 
projector will still be in locked status the next time it is turned on.
Freezing the image
PressFreeze on the remote control to freeze the image. The word 'FREEZE' will be 
displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. To release the function, press any key on the 
projector or remote control.
Even if an image is frozen on the screen, the pictures are running on the video or other 
device. If the connected devices have active audio output, you will still hear the audio even 
though the image is frozen on screen.
Operating in a high altitude environment
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between 1500 
m–3000 m above sea level, and temperature is between 0°C–35°C.
CAUTION
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and temperature 
is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under 
such a condition.

To activate the High Altitude Mode:
1. Press MENU/EXIT on the projector or Menu on 
the remote control and then press  /  until the 
SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED menu is 
highlighted.
2. Press  to highlight High Altitude Mode and 
press /  to select On. A confirmation 
message is displayed.
3. Highlight Yes and press MODE/ENTER on the projector or Enter on the remote 
control.
Operation under "High Altitude Mode" may cause a higher decibel operating noise level 
because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and 
performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may display 
auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from over-heating. 
In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude Mode to solve these symptoms. 
However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or 
extreme conditions.
Using the CEC function
This projector supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function for synchronized 
power on/off operation via HDMI connection. That is, if a device that also supports CEC 
function is connected to the HDMI input of the projector, when the projector’s power is 
turned on or off, the power of the connected device will also be turned on or off 
automatically (and vice versa).
To turn on the CEC function:
1. Press MENU/EXIT on the projector or Menu on the remote control to open the On-
Screen Display (OSD) menu.
2. Go to the SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > CEC menu.
3. Press  /  to select On.
• In order for the CEC function to work properly, make sure that the device is correctly 
connected to the HDMI input of the projector via a HDMI cable, and its CEC function is 
turned on.
• Depending on the connected device, the CEC function may not work.
Using the 3D functions
This projector features 3D function which enables you to enjoy 3D movies, videos, and 
sporting events in a more realistic way by presenting the depth of the images. You need to 
wear a pair of 3D glasses to view 3D images.
If the 3D signal is input from an HDMI 1.4a compatible device, the projector detects the 
signal for 3D Sync information and once detected, it projects images in 3D format 
automatically. In other cases, you may need to manually select a 3D Sync format for the 
projector to project 3D images correctly.
To select a 3D Sync format:
1. Press MENU/EXIT on the projector or Menu on the remote control and then press 
/  until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.
We recommend you use the High Altitude 
mode by selecting it whenever your 
environment is higher than 1500 m.

2. Press  to highlight 3D Settings and press MODE/ENTER on the projector or 
Enter on the remote control.
3. Press  to highlight 3D Sync and press MODE/ENTER on the projector or Enter
on the remote control.
4. Press  to select a 3D Sync setting according to the table below and then press 
MODE/ENTER on the projector or Enter on the remote control to confirm.
For example, if the signal is input from the projector’s S-Video input socket, and its signal 
type (resolution) is 480i, then the default 3D Sync setting of the projector is Off, and the 
options you can choose for the 3D Sync setting are Off and Frame Sequential.
When the 3D Sync function is on:
• The brightness level of the projected image will decrease.
• The Color Mode cannot be adjusted.
• The Keystone can only be adjusted within limited degrees.
• The Zoom can only magnify the pictures to limited sizes.
If you discover the inversion of the 3D image depth, set the 3D Sync Invert function to “Invert” 
to correct the problem.
Using the projector in standby mode
Some of the projector functions are available in standby mode (plugged in but not turned 
on). To use these functions, be sure you have turned on the corresponding menus under 
SYSTEM SETTING: BASIC > Standby Settings, and the cable connections are correctly 
made. For the connection methods, see the Connection chapter.
Power Saving
Less than 0.5W power consumption when Power Saving mode is turned on.
Active VGA Out
Selecting On outputs a VGA signal when the COMPUTER IN 1 and COMPUTER OUT
sockets are correctly connected to devices. The projector outputs the signal received only 
from COMPUTER IN 1.

Active Audio Out
Selecting On outputs an audio signal when the AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT sockets are 
correctly connected to devices.
Quick Power Off
Selecting On enables the function and the projector will not enter the cooling process after 
being shut down. Selecting Off disables the function and the projector will enter normal 
cooling process after being shut down.
• If you attempt to restart the projector right after it’s been turned off, it may not be turned 
on successfully and will rerun its cooling procedure.
• When Off is selected, the Smart Restart function will be automatically turned off.
Shutting down the projector
1. Press POWER and a confirmation message 
is displayed prompting you. 
If you don't respond in a few seconds, the 
message will disappear.
2. Press POWER a second time.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the wall 
socket if the projector will not be used in an 
extended period of time.
CAUTION
• To protect the lamp, the projector will not respond to any commands during the cooling 
process.
• To shorten the cooling time, you can also activate the Quick Power Off function. See 
"Quick Power Off" on page 39 for details.
• Do not unplug the power cord before the projector shutdown sequence is complete.
