"No Signal" Auto-Shutdown
The projector will display the following image when it is not receiving a signal from one of the available sources (resident computer, document camera, DVD/VCR, etc.). This happens because either the source itself is turned off or, in the case of a laptop, not set to display its image on the projector.
"No Signal" Screen |
After displaying the above image for 15 minutes the projector will shut off automatically. |
When the projector displays the "No Signal" Screen, you have 15 minutes to select your desired source with the EPSON projector remote control and Extron switcher. If the projector does not receive a signal after 15 minutes it will shut off automatically.
Powering Down the Resident Computer
