10˚

Fire and Shock Precautions

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.

Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.

Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel.

Do not place any objects on top of the projector.

Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz (NP600/NP500/NP400/NP500W) or 200-240V AC 50/60 Hz (NP600G/NP500G/NP400G/NP500WG). Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.

Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.

Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust vent.

Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust.

Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.

-Do not use any power cables than the supplied one.

-Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.

-Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.

-Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.

-Do not heat the power cable.

-Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

-When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.

-If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.

-If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual.

-If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

-If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.

When using a LAN cable:

For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

iii

Important Information

CAUTION

Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.

Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

Select [HIGH] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [SETUP] - [OPTIONS(1)] → [FAN MODE] → [HIGH].)

Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.

Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

Remote Control Precautions

Handle the remote control carefully.

If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.

If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/-) aligned correctly.

Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.

Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

Lamp Replacement

To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 72.

Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE. PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.

A Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.

CAUTION:

When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

iv

Important Information

About High Altitude mode

Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher.

Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.

Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].

Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of optical components such as the lamp.

About Copyright of original projected pictures:

Please note that using this projector for the purpose of commercial gain or the attraction of public attention in a venue such as a coffee shop or hotel and employing compression or expansion of the screen image with the following functions may raise concern about the infringement of copyrights which are protected by copyright law.

This section describes how to set up your projector and how to connect video and audio sources. Your projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:

z Set up a screen and the projector.

x Connect your computer or video equipment to the projector.

(→ page 13,15,16,17,18,19,20)

c Connect the supplied power cable. (→ page 21)

NOTE: Ensure that the power cable and any other cables are disconnected before moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

To the wall outlet.

2. Installation and Connections

WARNING

*Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.

*Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.

Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41˚F (5˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C) (Eco mode selected automatically at 95˚F to 104˚F/35˚C to 40˚C).

Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.

Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.

Reflecting the Image

Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image enables you to enjoy a much larger image when a smaller space is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror system. If you’re using a mirror system and your image is inverted, use the MENU and SELECT buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the orientation. (→ page 60)

2. Installation and Connections

Making Connections

NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.

In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.

*If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power management software.

Enabling the computer’s external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.

This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.

*When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly: Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

2. Installation and Connections

When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal

To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI cable (not supplied) before turning on your PC or projector.Turn on the projector first and select Computer 2 (Digital) from the source menu before turning on your PC.

Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.

Do not disconnect the DVI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.

NOTE:

Use a DVI cable or the one compliant with the DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI cable should be within 5 m (196") long. Both single and dual types of DVI cable can be used.

The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), WXGA (1280x800 @ up to 60Hz), and SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz).
