❹ 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

CO₂emissions.

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

[ECO MODE]

[OFF]

Description

Status of LAMP indicator

Off

The lamp brightness is 100%.

[AUTO ECO]

Lamp power consumption will be changed between

[OFF] and [NORMAL] automatically according to

picture level

NOTE: A bright gradation may be less visible depending

on the image.

[NORMAL]

[ECO]

Lamp power consumption: approx.80% brightness.

The lamp life will extend by lowering the lamp power.

Steady Green

light

Lamp power consumption (approx. 60% brightness).

The lamp life will extend longer than the one on

NORMAL mode by controlling power appropriate for

the lamp. The maximum power becomes equivalent

to the power 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 → OFF

TIP:

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

3. Convenient Features

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 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] 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 CO₂emission 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 CO₂emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can

check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 81)

The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO₂emission 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 CO₂emission reduction.

Amount of CO₂emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE − Power consumption in AUTO ECO/NORMAL/

ECO for ECO MODE) × CO₂conversion factor.* When the image is turned off with the AV-MUTE button, the amount of CO₂em-

mission reduction will also increase.

* Calculation for amount of CO₂emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO₂Emissions 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.

6. Installation and Connections

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).

HDMI 1 IN

7. Maintenance

To replace the ﬁlters:

Four ﬁlters are packaged with the replacement lamp, NP43LP.

Coase texture sponge ﬁlter: Large and small sizes (attached to the ﬁlter unit)

Fine texture sponge ﬁlter: Large and small sizes (attached to the ﬁlter cover)

The ﬁlter supplied with NP16LP is differed from ones’ material supplied with NP43LP and that material is non-woven

material.

For reading the ﬁlter replacement procedures, replace the words “ﬁne-texture sponge and coarse-texture sponge”

with “accordion soft and honeycomb hard” respectively.

NOTE:

• Replace all four ﬁlters at the same time.

• Before replacing the ﬁlters, wipe off dust and dirt from the projector cabinet.

• The projector is precision equipment. Keep out dust and dirt during ﬁlter replacement.

• Do not wash the ﬁlters with soap and water. Soap and water will damage the ﬁlter membrane.

• Put ﬁlters into place. Incorrect attachment of a ﬁlter may cause dust and dirt to get into the inside of the projector.

TIP:

While the material of ﬁlters attached to the projector at the time of purchase is different from the material of ﬁlters included with the

optional lamp, there is no difference in performance between these two types.

Before replacing the ﬁlters, replace the lamp. (→ page 103)

1. Push the catch to release the ﬁlter unit and pull it out.

2. Detach the ﬁlter cover from the ﬁlter unit.
