Getting
to know the lamp hour
when
the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is
automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the
equivalent lamp hour is as follows:
Equivalent lamp hour = 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 3/2 (hours used in Normal mode)
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU and then press < / > until the Advanced Setup menu is highlighted.
2. Press Down to highlight Lamp Settings and press ENTER. The Lamp
Settings page displays.
3. The lamp hour information is shown in the row of Equivalent Lamp Hour.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU.
Extending lamp life
The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.
Setting Lamp Power as Economic
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption. If the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp life. To set Economic mode, go to the
Advanced Setup > Lamp Settings > Lamp Power menu and press < / > .
Setting Auto Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected after a set period of time.
To set Auto Off, go to the System Setup > Auto Off menu and press < / > to select a time period. The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.
