④ Changing Eco Mode/Checking Energy-Saving Effect Using Eco Mode [ECO MODE]

The ECO MODE (NORMAL and ECO) increases lamp life, while lowering power consumption and cutting down on CO_2 emissions.

Four brightness modes of the lamp can be selected: [OFF], [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL] and [ECO] modes.

[ECO MODE] Description Status of LAMP indicator
[OFF] The lamp brightness is 100%.			depending on	Steady Green light
[AUTO ECO]	Lamp power consumption will be changed between [OFF] and [NORMAL] automatically according to picture levelNOTE: A bright gradation may be less visible the image.
[NORMAL]	Lamp power consumption: approx. 80% brightness (MC372X: 86%). The lamp life will extend by lowering the lamp power.			Blinking Green light
[ECO]	Lamp power consumption: approx. 67% brightness (MC372X: 72%). The lamp life will extend longer than the one on NORMAL mode by controlling power appropriate for the lamp.

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 → OFF

TIP:

• The leaf symbol at the bottom of the menu shows the current selection of ECO mode.

NOTE:

• 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 blue. 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] will automatically switch to [ECO]. The projector will return to its original setting once a signal is accepted.
• 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 projector comes back to normal temperature, the [ECO MODE] returns to its original setting.

Thermometer symbol [ ] indicates the [ECO MODE] is automatically set to [NORMAL] mode because the internal temperature is too high.

- Immediately after [ECO MODE] is changed from [ECO] to one of [OFF], [AUTO ECO], or [NORMAL], the lamp brightness may decrease temporarily. This is not a malfunction.

Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]

This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO_2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector's [ECO MODE] is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].

There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO_2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. ( page 74)

The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO_2 emission reduction between the time of changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE?] message at the time of power-off.

TIP:

• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of C_2 emission reduction.
  Amount of CO_2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE – Power consumption in AUTO ECO/NORMAL/ECO for ECO MODE) × CO_2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off with the AV-MUTE button, the amount of CO_2 emission reduction will also increase.
  * Calculation for amount of CQemission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CQEmissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008 Edition”.
  • The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

Enabling Direct Power On [DIRECT POWER ON]

Turns the projector on automatically when the power cord is inserted into an active power outlet. This eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or projector cabinet.

Turning On the Projector By Applying Computer Signal [AUTO POWER ON]

When the projector is in Standby mode, applying a computer or HDMI signal from a computer connected to the COMPUTER IN input, HDMI1, or HDMI2 input will power on the projector and simultaneously project the image.

This functionality eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or the projector cabinet to power on the projector.

To use this function, first connect a computer to the projector and the projector to an active AC input.

NOTE:

• Disconnecting a computer signal from the computer will not power off the projector. We recommend using this function in combination of the AUTO POWER OFF function.
  • This function will not be available under the following conditions:
• when a component signal is applied to the COMPUTER IN terminal
• when a Sync on Green RGB signal or composite sync signal is applied
  • To enable the AUTO POWER ON after turning off the projector, wait 5 seconds and input a computer or HDMI signal.
  If a computer or HDMI signal is still present when the projector is turned off, the AUTO POWER ON will not work and the projector remains in standby mode.
• Depending on the projector in use, the AUTO POWER ON may not work properly. In this case, set [STANDBY MODE] to [NETWORK STANDBY].

Enabling Power Management [AUTO POWER OFF]

When this option is selected you can enable the projector to automatically turn off (at the selected time: 0:05, 0:10, 0:15, 0:20, 0:30, 1:00) if there is no signal received by any input or if no operation is performed.

Selecting Default Source [DEFAULT INPUT SELECT]

You can set the projector to default to any one of its inputs each time the projector is turned on.

LAST....Sets the projector to default to the previous or last active input each time the projector is turned on.

AUTO ....Searches for an active source in order of HDMI1 → HDMI2 → COMPUTER → VIDEO → USB-A → COMPUTER and displays the first found source.

HDMI1......Displays the digital source from the HDMI 1 IN terminal every time the projector is turned on.

HDMI2....Displays the digital source from the HDMI 2 IN terminal every time the projector is turned on.

COMPUTER ...... Displays the computer signal from the COMPUTER IN terminal every time the projector is turned on.

VIDEO......Displays the Video source from the VIDEO IN terminal every time the projector is turned on.

WARNING

• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.
• Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C) (Eco mode selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°C).
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.

② Making Connections

Connecting Your Computer

Computer cables, HDMI and USB can be used to connect to a computer. The connection cable is not enclosed with the projector. Please get ready a suitable cable for the connection.

NOTE: Signals supported by Plug & Play (DDC2)

INPUT
COMPUTER IN HDMI 1 IN HDMI 2 INanalog digital digital
Yes Yes Yes

- Select the source name for its appropriate input terminal after turning on the projector.

Input terminal	INPUT button on the projector cabinet	Button on the remote control
COMPUTER IN		(COMPUTER)
HDMI 1 IN
HDMI 2 IN
USB-B

NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter. This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.

* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly: Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

Enabling the computer's external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.

When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.

Usually, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

Cautions when using a DVI signal

- When the computer has a DVI output terminal, use a commercially available converter cable to connect the computer to the projector's HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 input terminal (only digital video signals can be input).

NOTE: When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal

• Turn off the power of the computer and projector before connecting.
- When a video deck is connected via a scan converter, etc., the display may not be correct during fast-forwarding and rewinding.
- Use a DVI-to-HDMI cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The cable should be within 197"/5 m long.
• Turn off the projector and the PC before connecting the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
- To project a DVI digital signal: Connect the cables, turn the projector on, then select the HDMI input. Finally, turn on your PC. Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
- Do not disconnect the DVI-to-HDMI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
• The COMPUTER video input terminals support Windows Plug and Play.
- A Mac signal adapter (commercially available) may be required to connect a Mac computer.

Connecting an External Monitor

You can connect a separate, external monitor to your projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the computer analog image you're projecting.

NOTE:

• The AUDIO OUT mini jack does not support earphone/headphone terminal.

- When audio equipment is connected, the projector speaker is disabled.

• The signal output from the COMPUTER OUT of this projector is for projecting image on exclusive one display.

- When no signal is applied over 3 minutes in the condition of projector standby when NETWORK STANDBY is set in the Standby mode, output from the COMPUTER OUT or AUDIO OUT terminal will be stopped. In this case, pull out the computer cable and set it back after inputting video signal.

Monitor out and sleep mode:

• The COMPUTER OUT terminal will not work when [NORMAL] is selected for [STANDBY MODE].

The COMPUTER OUT terminal will work only in the sleep mode.

Applying a signal from the COMPUTER IN terminal will put the projector in the sleep mode, which allows you to use the COMPUTER OUT terminal and the AUDIO OUT mini jack.

The sleep mode is one of the standby modes.

• In the network standby mode, sound for the last viewed computer or video source will be heard.

BNC-to-COMPUTER IN terminal converted signal will not be output in the standby mode and sleep mode.

If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.

• Power on process for the projector and the PC.

Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.

In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.

NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector's menu under Information. If it reads "0kHz", this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 75 or go to next step)

- Enabling the computer's external display.

Displaying an image on the notebook PC's screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the "Fn" key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

• Non-standard signal output from the computer

If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC's LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer's documentation for detailed information.

• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac

When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect.

For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Mac again.

NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Inc. is needed for a MacBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin terminal.

• Mirroring on a MacBook

* When using the projector with a MacBook, output may not be set to 1024 × 768 unless “mirroring” is off on your MacBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Mac computer for mirroring.

- Folders or icons are hidden on the Mac screen

Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple menu and arrange icons.

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).
