You can check the number of hours on your laser light source by pressing the [STATUS] button on the remote control, or by selecting [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [STATUS] -> [LIGHT RUNTIME] via the main menu.

Some advantages of laser light sources over lamp light sources are highlighted below:

• Laser light sources have a longer lifespan and maintain image quality and brightness for longer over an extended usage period
• Since periodic lamp replacement is not required, maintenance hassle and running costs are reduced
• The time required to commence projection after powering on the projector, and the time required for the light source to turn off after powering off the projector, are reduced
• Chance of lamp failure interrupting your presentation is eliminated for greater peace of mind.

Laser light-source replacement should be handled by your dealer’s servicing department. For more information about laser light-source replacement, please contact your point of purchase, or click here to obtain the contact details of a sales office in your region.

We recommend you have your dealer check and clean your projector and replace the laser light source after about 20,000 hours of use. While it’s possible to continue using the projector after this time without replacing the light source, light output at about 20,000 hours will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level.

The value of 20,000 hours is the estimated time at which your projector’s light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level at the time of shipment when used in specific operating modes at certain altitude ranges and in certain operating environments.

Yes, it is. Since this projector does not require a cooldown period before it is turned off, the projector can be turned off any time via the room breaker switch. Note that changes to settings and adjustments applied immediately before the power is disconnected may not be reflected when the unit is next switched on.

When [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [STANDBY MODE] is set to [NORMAL] in the main menu, it takes about nine seconds from the time the projector is switched on until an image appears on screen, and about 12 seconds when [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO]. An image will appear on screen after about a second when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu -> [QUICK STARTUP] -> is set to [ON], and the power is switched on within a specified time after the projector enters standby mode. A time can be specified via [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu -> [QUICK STARTUP] -> [VALID PERIOD]. After this period elapses, [QUICK STARTUP] will be disabled, and it will take about nine seconds to project an image. Note that [QUICK STARTUP] cannot be set when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO].

Yes, it is possible. If you intend to use the projector continuously for 24 hours or more, go to the main menu, select [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL] -> and set [CALIBRATION TIME]. If a value is not set, Brightness Control correction will not be performed automatically.

This function corrects the brightness and white balance of the image on screen using a built-in light-source sensor according to changes in brightness and color of the light source.

It is possible to rotate the image 90° after adjusting the following settings: In the main menu, when [CLOCKWISE] is selected in [DISPLAY OPTION] -> [IMAGE ROTATION], the input image is rotated 90° clockwise upon projection. When [COUNTERCLOCKWISE] is selected, the input image is rotated 90° counterclockwise upon projection.

A center lumen is a measurement of brightness at the center of the projection screen based on a specified method for measuring light output. The advertised center brightness is the average value of all products when shipped.

(2) The light source is turned off because the following setting is enabled in the main menu:
[PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [NO SIGNAL SETTING] -> [NO SIGNAL LIGHTS-OUT].

There is no specific amount that we recommend. In general, however, the overlapping area should represent about 10 % or more of the total width and height of the image.
