2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation) Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen) When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup menu. This menu gives you the opportunity to select one of the 27 menu languages. To select a menu language, follow these steps: 1. Use the , H, F or E button to select one of the 27 languages from the menu. 2. Press the ENTER button to execute the selection. After this has been done, you can proceed to the menu operation. If you want, you can select the menu language later. (→ [LANGUAGE] on page 95 and 113) NOTE: • Turning the power back on directly after it is turned off (by direct power off) while an image is being projected can result in malfunction. Be sure to wait at least 1 second before turning the power back on. • Keep the lens cap off the lens while the projector's power is on. If the lens cap is on, it could be warped due to high temperature. • If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on. - If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector's internal components to cool down. - Starting under low temperature conditions If the usage environment temperature is lower than the projector's operating temperature, the TEMP. indicator will flash. Increase the usage environment temperature to 0°C or higher and turn on the projector again. If you turn on the projector at around 0°C, it may take 5 minutes to warm up the projector. During warm-up, the TEMP. indicator will flash. When the warm-up is completed, the TEMP. indicator will light out. - When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp. - If the STATUS indicator lights orange with the power button pressed, it means that the [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] is turned on. Cancel the lock by turning it off. (→ page 119) - If the lamp fails to light, and if the LAMP 1 or LAMP 2 indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power. • While the POWER indicator is blinking blue in short cycles, the power cannot be turned off by using the power button. • Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is normal. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized. • When the projector is turned on, it may take some time before the lamp light becomes bright. • If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without displaying an image for some time and then the projector will display the image. 18
