• “Eco mode” for low power consumption and “Carbon Meter” display
The projector is equipped with an “eco mode” for reducing power consumption during use. Furthermore, the
power-saving effect when the eco mode is set is converted into the amount of reductions of CO
this is indicated on the conrmation message displayed when the power is turned off and at “Information” on the
on-screen menu (CARBON METER).
• Maximum lamp replacement time of 4000 hours (3000 hours in Normal mode) and no need to clean the
lters
When used in the eco mode, the lamp replacement time* is extended to a maximum of 4000 hours.
* This time is not guaranteed.
Furthermore, this projector uses large 2-layer lters. When these lters are replaced with new ones when changing
the lamp, there is no need for regular lter cleaning.
