30 Using the Projector
Turning Off the Picture and Sound
You can use the A/V Mute button on the control panel to darken your
screen and turn off the sound. This is useful if you want to
temporarily re-direct your audience’s attention without the distraction
of a bright screen.
■ To turn off the picture and sound, press the A/V Mute button.
The screen goes dark.
■ To turn the picture and sound back on, press the button again.
Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended
procedure to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and
protects the projector from possible overheating.
1. If you’ve connected a computer or laptop and it’s displaying only
through the projector (the computer’s monitor is disconnected or
turned off), shut down the computer first; otherwise you may not
be able to see your computer’s display to shut it down properly.
2. To turn off the projector, press the red Power button on the
projector or remote control.
You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off,
press any other button.)
note
You can also have an image,
such as a company logo,
display on the screen
whenever you press the
A/V Mute button. See
page 53 for instructions.
note
When the projector has not
received any input signals for
30 minutes, it automatically
turns off the projector lamp
and enters “sleep mode.” This
conserves electricity, cools the
projector, and extends the life
of the lamp. If you are done
using the projector, unplug
the power cord. If you want
to start projecting again, press
the
Power button.
