    5. Using On-Screen Menu
    NOTE:	
    •	 When	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	is	selected	for	[FAN	MODE],	a	symbol	icon		will	be	displayed	at	the	bottom	of	the	menu.
    •	 It	is	recommended	that	you	select	High	speed	mode	if	you	use	the	projector	non-stop	for	consecutive	days.
    •		 Set	[FAN	MODE]	to	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	when	using	the	projector	at	altitudes	approximately	5500	feet/1600	meters	or	higher.
    •	 Using	the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1600	 meters	or	higher	 without	 setting	to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	
    the	projector	to	overheat	and	the	protector	could	shut	down.	If	this	happens,	wait	a	couple	minutes	and	turn	on	the	projector.
    •		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 less	than	 approximately	 5500	feet/1600	 meters	and	setting	 to	[HIGH	 ALTITUDE]	 can	cause	 the	
    lamp	to	overcool,	causing	the	image	to	flicker.	Switch	[FAN	MODE]	to	[AUTO].
    •		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1600	 meters	or	higher	 can	shorten	 the	life	of	optical	 components	 such	
    as	the	lamp.
    •	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
    Selecting	the	Signal	Format	[SIGNAL	SELECT(COMP3)]
    When	an	output	device	is	connected	to	the	COMPUTER	3	video	input	connectors,	this	sets	the	input	signal.
    RGB/COMPONENT �RGB and component signals are identified automatically �
    VIDEO ��������������������This switches to the video signal�
    NOTE:	 When	a	video	 cable	(commercially	 available)	is	connected	 to	the	 COMPUTER	 3	video	 input	connectors’	 G/Y	connector,	 video	
    signals	can	be	projected.	In	this	case,	set	to	“VIDEO”.
    [SEAMLESS SWITCHING]
    When	the	input	 connector	 is	switched,	 the	image	 displayed	 before	switching	 is	held	 to	switch	 to	the	 new	 image	 without	
    a	break	due	to	absence	of	a	signal.
    [COLOR SYSTEM]
    This	feature	allows	you	to	select	the	 TV	video	signal,	which	differs	from	country	to	country	(NTSC,	PAL,	etc.).
    This	is	set	to	[AUTO]	by	factory	default. 	Set	this	if	the	projector	cannot	identify	the	signal	automatically.
    [DIGITAL AUDIO SELECT]
    This	feature	allows	you	to	select	the	audio	inputs	for	the	projector’s	HDMI	and	DisplayPort	input	connectors.
    HDMI ���������������������HDMI: Selects the HDMI input connector’s digital audio�
    COMPUTER2: Selects the COMPUTER2 audio input connector �
    DisplayPort ������������DisplayPort: Selects the DisplayPort input connector’s digital audio�
    COMPUTER2: Selects the COMPUTER2 audio input connector �
    Enabling	Key	Sound	and	Error	Sound	[BEEP]
    This	feature	 turns	on	or	off	 the	 button	 sound	or	alarm	 when	an	error	 occurs	 or	the	 following	 operations	 are	per-
    formed.
    -	Displaying	the	main	menu	
    -	Switching	sources
    -	Resetting	data	by	using	[RESET]
    -	Pressing	POWER	ON	or	POWER	OFF	button

    5. Using On-Screen Menu
    [OPTIONS(2)]
    Selecting Power-saving in [STANDBY MODE]
    The	projector	has	three	standby	modes:	[NORMAL],	[POWER-SAVING]	and	[NETWORK	STANDBY].
    The	POWER-SAVING	 mode	is	the	 mode	 that	allows	 you	to	put	 the	projector	 in	the	 power-saving	 condition	which	
    consumes	less	power	than	the	NORMAL	mode. 	The	projector	is	preset	for	NORMAL	mode	at	the	factory.
    NORMAL �����������������������������Power indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Green light
    POWER-SAVING  �����������������Power indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off
    The following connectors, buttons or functions will not work during this\
     mode�
    - MONITOR OUT (COMP � 1) connector, and AUDIO OUT connector
    - LAN and Mail Alert functions
    - Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
    - Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
    - Virtual Remote Tool fucntion
    NETWORK STANDBY ����������When in the standby mode, the POWER indicator will light orange and the STATUS indicator will 
    not light� This shows that the projector’s power can be turned on by wired LAN�
    When in the standby mode, the following connectors, buttons or functions\
     will not work:
    - MONITOR OUT (COMP � 1) connector, and AUDIO OUT mini jack
    - Wireless LAN Unit
    - [AUTO POWER ON (COMP1/3)]
    - Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
    - Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
    - PC control commands for other than power-on
    Important:
    •	When	 [CONTROL	 PANEL	LOCK]	or	[CONTROL	 ID]	is	turned	 on,	or	when	 [COMPUTER	 1]	or	[COMPUTER	 3]	is	selected	 for	[AUTO	
    POWER	ON(COMP1/3)],	the	[STANDBY	MODE]	setting	becomes	invalid.
    	 This	means	that	the	projector	is	in	the	same	condition	when	the	[NORMAL]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE].
    NOTE:	
    •	 Even	when	[POWER-SAVING]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE],	power	on	or	off	can	be	done	by	using	the	PC	CONTROL	port.
    •	 The	power	consumption	in	the	standby	mode	will	not	be	included	in	calculating	CO2	emission	reduction.
    •	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
    Enabling	Direct	Power	On	[DIRECT	POWER	ON]
    Turns	 the	projector	 on	automatically	 when	the	power	 cord	is	inserted	 into	an	active	 power	 outlet.	This	 eliminates	 the	
    need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet. 
    						
    							111
    5. Using On-Screen Menu
    Turning	On	the	Projector	By	Applying	Computer	Signal	[AUTO	POWER	ON(COMP1/3)]
    When	the	projector	 is	in	 Standby	 mode,	applying	 a	computer	 signal	from	a	computer	 connected	 to	the	 COMPUTER1	
    IN	or	COMPUTER3	IN	input	will	power	on	the	projector	and	simultaneously	project	the	computer’s	image.
    This	 functionality	 eliminates	the	need	 to	always	 use	the	POWER	 button	on	the	 remote	 control	or	the	 projector	 cabinet	
    to	power	on	the	projector.
    To	use	this	function,	first	connect	a	computer	to	the	projector	and	the	projector	to	an	active	AC	input.
    NOTE:	
    •	 Disconnecting	 a	computer	 signal	from	the	computer	 will	not	power	 off	the	 projector.	 We	recommend	 using	this	function	 in	com-
    bination	of	the	AUTO	POWER	OFF	function.
    •	 This	function	will	not	be	available	under	the	following	conditions:
    -	 when	a	component	signal	is	applied	to	the	COMPUTER1	IN	or	COMPUTER3	IN	connector
    -	 when	a	Sync	on	Green	RGB	signal	or	composite	sync	signal	is	applied
    •	 When	 [AUTO	POWER	 ON(COMP1/3]	 is	set,	 the	[STANDBY	 MODE]	setting	becomes	 invalid. This	 means	that	the	projector	 is	in	
    the	same	condition	when	the	[NORMAL]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE].
    •	 To	enable	the	AUTO	POWER	ON	(COMP1/3)	after	turning	off	the	projector,	wait	3	seconds	and	input	a	computer	signal.
    	 If	 a	computer	 signal	is	still	 present	 when	the	projector	 is	turned	 off,	the	AUTO	 POWER	 ON	(COMP1/3)	 will	not	work	 and	the	
    projector	remains	in	standby	mode.
    Enabling	Power	Management	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]
    When	 this	option	 is	selected	 you	can	 enable	 the	projector	 to	automatically	 turn	off	(at	 the	 selected	 time:	5min.,	 10min.,	
    20min.,	30min.)	if	there	is	no	signal	received	by	any	input	or	if	no	operation	is	performed.
    NOTE:
    •	 The	[AUTO	POWER	OFF]	function	will	not	work	when	[VIEWER]	or	[NETWORK]	is	selected	for	[SOURCE].
    Selecting Default Source [DEFAULT SOURCE SELECT]
    You	can	set	the	projector	to	default	to	any	one	of	its	inputs	each	time	the	projector	is	turned	on.
    LAST ����������������������Sets the projector to default to the previous or last active input each \
    time the projector is turned on�
    AUTO  ���������������������Searches  for  an  active  source  in  order  of  COMPUTER1 →  COMPUTER2 →  COMPUTER3 →  HDMI → 
    DisplayPort → VIDEO → VIEWER → COMPUTER1 and displays the first found source�
    COMPUTER1  ���������Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
    COMPUTER2 ���������Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER 2 IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
    COMPUTER3 ���������Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER 3 IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
    HDMI ���������������������Displays the digital source from the HDMI IN connector every time the projector is turned on� 
    DisplayPort ������������Displays the digital source from the DisplayPort every time the projector is turned on� 
    VIDEO ��������������������Displays the Video source from the VIDEO IN connector every time the projector is turned on�
    VIEWER  �����������������Displays slides or plays back movie files from the USB memory device every time the projector is turned 
    on�
    NETWORK  �������������Displays the data sent from the computer via the LAN port (RJ-45) or the wireless LAN unit (sold separately) 
    mounted on the projector is projected�
