startup screen.
In the unlikely event that the capturing action  fails, change your target picture. When the 
resolution of the input signal is higher than th e projector’s native display resolution (See 
Projector specifi cations on page 65  for details.), the capture  action may fail. When it 
happens, please set the resolution of the input  signal under native resolution and try again.
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 5°C–25°C.
CAUTION
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and temperature 
is between 5°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. Open the OSD menu and go to the  SYSTEM 
SETTING: ADVANCED  > High Altitude 
Mode  menu.
2. Press  / to select  On. A confirmation 
message is displayed.
3. Highlight  Yes and press  Enter.
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 a bove, 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 pr ojector can operate under any and all harsh or 
extreme conditions.
Using the CEC function
This projector supports CEC (Consumer Electr onics Control) function for synchronized 
power on/off operation via HDMI connection. Th at 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 off, the power of the connected device will also be turned off automatically. When 
the power of the connected device is turned on, the projector’s power will be turned on 
automatically.
To turn on the CEC function:
1. Open the OSD menu and go to the  SOURCE > Auto Power On  > CEC menu.
2. Press  / to select  Enable.
In order for the CEC function to work properl y, make sure that the device is correctly 
connected to the HDMI input of the projector via an HDMI cable, and its CEC function is turned 
on.
Depending on the connected device, the CEC function may not work.
We recommend you use the High Altitude 
mode by selecting it whenever your 
environment is higher than 1500 m.

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 de vice, 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  3D on the remote control to access the  3D Settings menu or go to the 
SOURCE  > 3D Settings  menu.
2. Press  Enter. The 3D Settings  page is displayed.
3. Highlight  3D Sync and press  Enter.
4. Press 
 to select a  3D Sync setting and then press  Enter to confirm.
When the 3D Sync function is on:
• The brightness level of the projected image will decrease.
• The Color Mode cannot be adjusted.
• The Zoom function 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.
