Turning On the Projector

Turn on the computer or video equipment you want to use before you turn on the projector so it can display the image source.
  1. Connect the power cord to the projector's power inlet.


  2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The projector's On/Standby light turns blue. This indicates that the projector is receiving power, but is not yet turned on (it is in standby mode).
    Note: With Direct Power On turned on, the projector turns on as soon as you plug it in.
  3. Remove the lens cover, if necessary.
  4. Press the power button on the projector or the remote control to turn on the projector.
    The projector beeps and the Status light flashes blue as the projector warms up. After about 30 seconds, the Status light stops flashing and turns blue.
    Warning: Never look into the projector lens when the laser is on. This can damage your eyes and is especially dangerous for children and pets. When turning on the projector at a distance using the remote control, make sure there is no one looking into the lens. Make sure no objects are blocking the light from the projector lens. Objects blocking the lens for an extended time can melt and light that is reflected back into the lens can cause the projector to malfunction.
    Note: When Quick Startup is enabled in the projector's Operation menu, the projector becomes ready for use in several seconds the next time you press the power button.
    Note: If the Auto Source Search setting in the Operation menu is enabled, the projector automatically detects the input signal when you turn it on. This setting is disabled if the Quick Startup or Content Playback setting is enabled.
    Note: If the Auto Power On setting in the Operation menu is enabled, the projector automatically detects the input signal for the HDMI1 or Computer1 ports when you turn it on.
If you do not see a projected image right away, try the following:
  • Turn on the connected computer or video device.
  • Insert a DVD or other video media, and press the play button (if necessary).
  • Change the screen output from the computer if you are using a laptop computer.
  • Press the Source Search button on the projector or remote control to detect the video source.
  • Press the Home button and select the source you want to project on the Home screen.
