Built on dual mercury lamp platform. Feedback systems determine the number of lamps and power level required to keep the system cool. An automatic shut-off feature detects whether the projector should power down to standby mode due to inactivity. The projector's dust-sealed engine and filter-free design reduces the amount of energy required and noise produced, the company says, and 80 percent of the M Series parts are recyclable.
