reduces system noise and lamp power consumption by up to 70%. If the Economic or SmartEco mode 
is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures

SmartEco mode, go to the Picture -- Basic > Lamp Power menu, and press MODE/ENTER. The 

 page displays. Then press  /  repeatedly until your desired mode is selected and press 

MODE/ENTER.

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.
