Replacing the remote control batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.

Attention

Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries.

s Safety Instructions

a Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.

b Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installing the Projector		19

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install the projector according to the conditions of the installation location.

• Project images from in front of	• Project images from behind a
the screen. (Front projection)	translucent screen. (Rear projec-
	tion)

Warning

•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

•If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.

When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

•Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

•Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen.

(Rear/Ceiling projection)

Attention

•Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

•Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

a• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

s "Optional Accessories" p.118

•You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

Set Rear or Rear/Ceiling from the Configuration menu. s Extended - Projection p.81

Installation methods

Install the projector as follows.

Installing the Projector		20

• Install the projector so	that it	is parallel	to the screen.
If the projector is installed at an angle to			the screen, keystone distortion
occurs in the projected	image.

•Place the projector on a level surface.

If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.

a• See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.

s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36

•See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.39

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the projection distance.

s "Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.119

Attention

• If	the	input source is on when you connect it to the projector, it could	cause a malfunction.
• If	the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or could malfunction.
a		• If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the device or an optional cable to connect to the projector.
		• When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin	audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".

•You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio-L/R port using a commercially available audio cable.

Connecting Equipment		25

Connecting USB Devices

You can connect devices such as USB memory, the optional Document Camera, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras. Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB(TypeA) port on the projector.

When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow. s "Slideshow examples" p.46

If the Document Camera is connected while projecting images from another input port, press the [USB] button on the remote control, or the [Source Search] button on the control panel, to switch to images from the Document Camera.

s "Automatically Detect Input Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)" p.31

Attention

• If you	use a USB hub, the connection may not operate		correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly.
• When	connecting and using	a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.
• Connect a digital camera or		hard disk to the projector	using a USB cable supplied with or specified for use with the device.
• Use a	USB cable less than 3	m in length. If the cable	exceeds 3 m, Slideshow may not function correctly.

Connecting Equipment		26

Removing USB devices

After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector.
