Just some tips on firing up used projectors...
Since it is fall in the rainy Northwest, and hey, snow is falling on the local mountains
, it's time to take a few precautions with the damp weather after you receive your new projector...
a) Bring the projector into a warm environment for at least 24 hours and let the unit warm up and have any condensation buildup dry off.
b) Upon turnon, I'd run the projector for 12 hours straight to dry up any other condensation not yet evaporated. Turn down the brightness level, the internal temperature will be the same at high or low brightness...
I have seen the odd pop and snap lately from a HV section from a projector left in the van for an hour or two after transporting it from my US mailing depot to the shop, so let those things dry off, man!
