Lamp information

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  

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 that normally can last up to 2000-3000 hours with proper usage. 
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.
