Below are answers to frequently asked questions about PT-VZ580 Series projectors.
The <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator is blinking red. Is something wrong?
This is normal. The <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator blinks red to indicate that the projector is in standby with standby mode set to [NORMAL]. When the projector’s standby mode is set to [ECO], and the projector enters standby, the power indicator lights red.
The <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator is blinking green. Is something wrong?
No, there is nothing wrong. The power indicator is blinking green for one of the following reasons:
(1) The projector is in the process of powering up the lamp. In this case, the indicator blinks in a 0.5 to 0.5-second on/off cycle. The image will be projected after a brief interval.
(2) The projector is on, but the lamp is off. The projector is in a Ready condition with Power Management function activated. In this case, the indicator blinks in a 2.0 to 2.0-second on/off cycle.
Network function and RS-232C control cannot be used in standby mode. Why?
