EN-14

Preparation

Preparation for projection

1.Attach the provided power cord to the projector.

2.Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.

3.Remove the lens cap.

Warning:

Do not look into the lens directly when the projector is on.

The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave the lens cap on the lens with the projector turned on, it may be deformed because of heat buildup. Remove the lens cap when you turn on the projector.

One of power cords for the U.S., Europe,

U.K., Australia, and South Korea is provided appropriately.

This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. If the power plug doesn’t fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the wall outlet.

In case that the power cord for the U.S. is provided with this projector, never connect this cord to any outlet or power supply using other voltages or frequencies than rated. If you want to use a power supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an appropriate power cord separately.

Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock.

Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the projector near heat sources to prevent damage to the power cord. If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for replacement because it may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified or altered, it may cause fire or electric shock.

Caution:

Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord.

Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may cause electric shock.

When you move the projector, turn off the power, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and then remove the connected cords. Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged, resulting in fire or electric shock.

If dust or metallic substance is on or around the pins of the power plug, unplug the power cord and clean it using a dry cloth. If you continue to use the projector without cleaning, it may result in fire or electric shock. Clean the power plug periodically at least once a year.

Be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the projector will not be used for a long period of time. Otherwise, it may cause fire.

Important:

When Standby Mode of the Efficient Mode menu in the Installation menu is set to LAN, Speaker Out, or Monitor Out, the fans rotate at very low speed during standby after plugging the power cord (with 5 second high speed rotation at the beginning) and after turning off the lamp. This is to cool down the projector operating various functions during standby and is not a malfunction. (When Standby Mode is set to Low, the fans stop during standby.)

Adjusting the position of the projected image

To adjust the position of the projected image on the screen, use the LENS SHIFT dial.

1.Rotate the LENS SHIFT dial inside the top cover of the projector to adjust the image position.

Rotating the dial clockwise (or counterclockwise for a ceiling-mount projector) moves the image up.

Rotating the dial counterclockwise (or clockwise for a ceiling-mount projector) moves the image down.

Be careful not to be caught in the opening in the lens while the lens is moving.

While the lens shift is working, the screen may flicker.

Projected images may become distorted, have decreased resolution, or have shadows at their corners if they are positioned close to the top or bottom.

EN-15

Preparation (continued)

Adjustment of the projection angle

For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.

Using the adjustment feet (front)

1.Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.

2.Rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment.

Important:

Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor.

Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left) or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up to 8 degrees using the adjustment feet only.

Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen.

When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid

When Auto Keystone in the Installation menu is set to On, this projector automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. For fine adjustment, press the KEYSTONE button on the projector or the remote control to display Keystone, and adjust the image by pressing the , button (or VOLUME , button on the remote control).

In the following cases:

You can correct the vertical keystones. However, their adjustment ranges are limited in such correction.

Important:

When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean a projection angle.

The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation condition, input signal and aspect settings in MENU.

When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions.

Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is displayed without noise.

When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal.

Press the button.

Press the button.

In the keystone adjustment, you can obtain an optimum result when the LENS SHIFT dial is at the factory default position. (See page 9.)

The automatic keystone adjustment may not be carried out correctly because of the ambient

temperature and the installation conditions of the projector and the screen. In such cases, correct the keystone manually.

When the projector is projecting images where acceleration is present, such as in a vehicle and aircraft, the automatic keystone adjustment may not function correctly. In such a case, set Auto Keystone in the Installation menu to Off and correct the keystone manually.

Play the field-sequential 3D video contents on a computer or DVD player, and then, connect the cable with the projector.

Go to the Picture menu (or press the 3D button on the remote control) and set the 3D option to On. (See page 23.)

Put on the 3D glasses to watch the contents.

If the contents are not projected correctly, go to the Picture menu, and switch the 3D Sync Invert option to On.

Important:

You cannot project the 3D content from the input source LAN Display, USB Display, and PC Less Presentation.

If the viewing distance is nearer than the recommended distance, it will cause physical discomfort and eye fatigue.

Watch the contents in front of the screen, not at big angle. If you are viewing the screen at big angle, you may not be able to view 3D contents correctly.

If you are not viewing 3D contents correctly, check to see if the 3D glasses are powered on or adequately charged. See the instruction manual of the 3D glasses for more information.

There are personal differences in viewing the 3D images. For persons with myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism or left and right sights, please wear glasses to correct them then wear the 3D glasses.

The picture seems misplaced at the start of projecting the 3D images, however, this is not a malfunction.

With the 3D option set to On, contents displayed on the projector appear darker. It is normal and does not mean the projector is malfunctioning.
