Convenient Features❹ Changing Eco Mode/Checking Energy-Saving EffectUsing Eco Mode [ECO MODE]The ECO MODE (NORMAL and ECO) increases lamp life, while lowering power consumption and cutting down onCO2 emissions.Four brightness modes of the lamp can be selected: [OFF], [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL] and [ECO] modes.[ECO MODE] Description Status of LAMPindicatorStatus ofECO indi-cator[OFF] The lamp brightness is 100%.Off Off[AUTO ECO] Lamp power consumption will be controlled between[OFF] and [ECO] automatically according to picturelevel.NOTE: A bright gradation may be less visible depending onthe image.SteadyGreen lightSteadyGreen light[NORMAL] Lamp power consumption. (approx.81% brightnesson M403W/M403X/M353WS/M333XS/M403H/M323Hand approx. 76% on M363W/M363X/M303WS) Thelamp life will extend by lowering the lamp power.[ECO] Lamp power consumption (approx. 60% brightness).The lamp life will extend longer than the one on NOR-MAL mode by controlling power appropriate for thelamp. The maximum power becomes equivalent to thepower in NORMAL.To turn on the [ECO MODE], do the following:1. Press the ECO Button on the remote control to display [ECO MODE] screen.2. Press the ECO button again to select a mode you wish.• Each time the ECO button is pressed, the choices will be changed:OFF → AUTO ECO → NORMAL → ECO → OFFTIP:• The leaf symbol at the bottom of the menu shows the current selection of ECO mode.NOTE:• The ECO MODE and DYNAMIC CONTRAST features control the lamp power. Some pictures may become extremely bright whenusing both ECO MODE and DYNAMIC CONTRAST features to control the lamp power. To avoid this phenomena, turn off the ECOMODE and DYNAMIC CONTRAST.• Immediately after the menu item is selected for [ECO MODE], the screen may flicker. This is not malfunction.• Using the projector in the [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO] mode for [ECO MODE] may cause poor halftones depending on theprojected image.• The [ECO MODE] can be changed by using the menu.Select [SETUP] → [GENERAL] → [ECO MODE].• The lamp life remaining and lamp hours used can be checked in [USAGE TIME]. Select [INFO.] →[USAGE TIME].• The projector is always in [NORMAL] for 90 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green.The lamp condition will not be affected even when [ECO MODE] is changed.• After a lapse of 1 minute from when the projector displays no-signal guidance, a blue, black or logo screen, [ECO MODE] willautomatically switch to [ECO].• If the projector is overheated in [OFF] mode, there may be a case where the [ECO MODE] automatically changes to [NORMAL]mode to protect the projector. When the projector is in [NORMAL] mode, the picture brightness decreases. When the projectorcomes back to normal temperature, the [ECO MODE] returns to [OFF] mode.Thermometer symbol [ ] indicates the [ECO MODE] is automatically set to [NORMAL] mode because the internal temperatureis too high.
