EPSON PowerLite 53c/73c Projector Adjusting the Color Mode You may want to adjust the color mode to select a different setting that is appropriate for the image you're projecting and the surroundings in which you're projecting it. If you're projecting computer images, the default color mode is Normal, which is appropriate for presentations in bright rooms. For video or S-Video images, the default color mode is Theatre, which optimizes video images using natural colors. You can also select one of these color modes: Color mode sRGB Meeting Presentation Game Description Use when projecting computer images conforming to the sRGB color standard (the default setting when projecting from a computer with analog video) Use when you want images projected using their original tints, without any color enhancements. Use when you're projecting a presentation in a dark room. Use when you're projecting video games in a bright room. To change the color mode, press the Color Mode button on the remote control. The currently selected setting appears in the upper right corner of the screen. You can also use the projector menu system to select the Color Mode in the Video menu. Shutting Down the Projector When you've finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible overheating. Note When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters "sleep mode." This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the P Power button. 1. If you're using a computer, shut it down first. 2. To turn off the projector, press the P Power button on the projector or remote control. You see a confirmation message. (If you don't want to turn it off, press any other button.) 3. Press the P Power button again. The power light flashes orange for about forty-five seconds as the projector cools down. When the projector has cooled, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan shuts off. If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange light stops flashing. Then press the P Power button. 4. Retract the front feet as shown. 5. Replace the lens cap and unplug the power cord. Caution To avoid damaging the projector or lamp, never unplug the power cord when the power light is green or flashing orange. 6. If you're using a VCR or other video source, turn it off after you turn off the projector. 7. Disconnect all equipment, and store the projector in the soft case that came with it or in a protective case.
