I bought a Toshiba MT200 in December since i'd got my new house and was determined to have a decent Home Cinema setup on a budget. Paired with a 90" eletric Cinescreen from an Ebay seller i have been very happy.
Had it sat on a table top for a while, and eventually i have made up my own ceiling mount which is really a prototype and will remake before too long.
I have one query with the projector, and it's about the fan noise. Even when the projector is off - turned off by the remote control that is, there is a constant fan hum. It's there after 2mins or 24 hours and is a bit of a problem because it can be heard byt hte person in bed in the room above.
There is a power switch on the projector itself which completely turns the unit off, but of course with the projector ceiling mounted this is reachable by standing on the sofa, but a.) it's new and b.) that will be a right pain in the neck.
I could sortout being able to turn off the socket with a remote but we've already got remotes for the projector, screen, receiver, dvdrecorder, sky box etc. so i am wondering if there is something wrong with my MT200 as the fan is on all the time. It shouldn't be a heat issue as it makes no difference how long the unit has been on, if it's hot, if the windows are open.
Any ideas?
