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 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. 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.
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 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.
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.
When the 3D Sync function is on:
• The brightness level of the projected image will decrease.
• The Color Mode cannot be adjusted.
• 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 dont 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 37 for details.
• Do not unplug the power cord before the projector shutdown sequence is complete.
