Starting Up the Projector
If you turn on your computer or video equipment before the 
projector, the projector automatically selects the connected 
source. If you turn on the projector first or you have multiple 
sources connected, you may have to switch to the desired 
source manually (see “Selecting the Image Source” on page 5).
Turning On the Projector
1. Remove the lens cap.
2. Plug in the projector. 
3. Wait a few seconds until the projector’s P power light stops 
flashing and turns orange. 
4. Press the red P 
Power
 button on top of the projector or on 
the remote control.
Note: If you’re using the remote 
control, make sure batteries are 
installed and the power switch on 
the side of the remote control is 
turned on. 
The projector’s P power light flashes green as it warms up, 
and an image begins to appear after about 30 seconds. 
When the P power light stops flashing and remains green, 
the projector is ready for use. 
Warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This 
can damage your eyes.
5. If you’ve connected a Windows-based computer to the 
projector, you may see a New Hardware Wizard saying 
your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, 
click 
Cancel
.
Selecting the Image Source
If multiple devices are connected to the projector, you can use 
the 
Source
 buttons on the projector or the remote control to 
switch from one source to another:
❏ The projector’s control panel has two 
Source
 buttons. 
Use the 
Computer/DVI
 button to 
switch between EasyMP,
 and 
between equipment connected to the 
Computer
 and 
DVI
ports.
Use the 
Video/BNC
 button to switch 
between equipment connected to the 
Video
S-Video
, and 
BNC
 ports. 
❏ The remote control has six 
Source
 
buttons.  Use them to switch 
between equipment connected to 
the port identified on each button, 
or select 
EasyMP
 to project 
wirelessly or from a memory card.
You can preview all sources to help 
you select the desired source, as described below.
The 
Computer
 and 
BNC
 ports can be set up to use different 
input signals, so if you have equipment connected to one of 
these ports, be sure to select the correct signal to match the 
equipment you’re using. You can change the input signal 
settings using the projector’s menu system as described in 
“Types of Connections” on page 4.
Previewing Image Sources
Use the preview function to select the image source when you 
have connected multiple sources to the projector. 
1. Press the 
Preview
 button on the 
remote control.
You see the currently selected 
source displayed on the screen, as 
shown below. Other sources 
(including the currently selected source) appear in smaller 
preview windows on the right and bottom of the screen.
.
If no equipment is connected to a port, or if there is no 
incoming signal, the preview window for that source 
appears blank. 
Note: Movies are displayed as still images on the preview 
screen.
