Tips & Warnings
If the projector stops projecting images when left idle, it's most likely because your laptop went into screen-saver mode. Try to restore and restart if necessary. For help with additional issues related to your specific NEC projector, refer to NEC's website (see Resources), which has a user-friendly Support Center.
