1 Safety Precautions

1.1. General Guidelines

· For continued safety, no modification of any circuit must be

attempted.

· Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

disassembling this projector.

· Use correctly the supplied power cord and must ground it.

· It is advisable to use an isolation transformer in the AC

power line before the service.

· Be careful not to touch the rotation part (cooling fan, etc.) of

this projector when you service with the upper case removed and the power supply turned ON.

· Observe the original lead dress during the service. If a short

circuit is found, replace all the parts overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

· After the service, all the protective devices such as

insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, and isolation R-C combinations must be properly installed.

· After the service, check the leakage current to prevent the

customer from getting an electric shock.

1.2. Leakage Current Check

1. Prepare the measuring circuit as shown in Fig.1. Be sure to use a voltmeter having the performance

described in Table 1.

Fig. 2

2. Assemble the circuit as shown in Fig. 2. Plug the power cord in a power outlet.

3. Connect M1 to T1 according to Fig. 2 and measure the voltage.

4. Change the connection of M1 from T1 to T2 and measure the voltage again.

5. The voltmeter must read 0.375 V or lower in both of steps 3 and 4. This means that the current must be 0.75 mA or less.

6. If the reading is out of the above standard, the projector must be repaired and rechecked before returning to the customer because of a possibility of an electric shock.

1.3. UV Precaution and UHM Lamp

Precautions

· Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet when replacing the lamp.

· Because the lamp reaches a very high temperature during its operation, wait until it cools completely when replacing the Lamp Unit.

· The lamp emits small amounts of UV-radiation, avoid directeye contact with the light.

· The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, explosion might result.

· Because the high pressure lamp involves a risk of failure, never touch the lamp wire lead during the service. (See Fig.

Fig. 1

Table 1

Notes:

· Align the projection polarizer with the guides

(lower, side) of LCD block.

· Be careful not to touch the surface of projection

polarizer.

· Use tweezers.

c. Press the adhesive part and secure the projection

polarizer.

8 Measurement and Adjustments

8.1. Adjustment Procedure Flowchart

8.2. Cautions for Adjustment

· Never unplug the power cord until the power indicator on the projector illuminates red.

· To maintain and ensure safety, always use the designated components for replacement parts.

· If removing any clamps, lead wires or connectors, always place them back in their proper locations.

· Be careful not to damage the lead wires or components when using a soldering iron or similar tool.

8.3. Setting Before Adjustment

· Set up the projector to obtain the projection distance below.

· Turn the zoom ring of the projector to obtain the largest size of the picture.

8.4. Convergence Adjustment

Execute this adjustment when replacing the LCD panel (B) .

8.4.1. Tools to be used

Service Kit : This kit is composed of 3 extension flexible cables and 1 connector extension cable.

Note:

· Consult your dealer or Authorized Service Center for the service kit.

8.4.2. Preparation

1. Loosen 2 screws fixing the panel adjuster and 2 screws fixing the panel attachment, then tighten the 4 screws temporarily just until the LCD panel can be shifted by your fingers.

Note:

· See figures in the section 7.15. "Replacement of LCD Panel (B)" for 2 screws fixing the panel adjuster and 2 screws

fixing the panel attachment.

2. Reassemble the projector in the reverse order of disassembling, but leave the upper case and the screws fixing the AP.C.Board block as they are removed.

3. Connect the service kit (extension cables).

· Each flexible cable of LCD Panels (R/G/B) - Connectors (A1/A2/A3) on A-P.C.Board

· PBS fan connector - Connector (A19) on A-P.C.Board

4. Covering with an insulator (cloth or the like) to prevent a short circuit, set the A-P.C.Board block on the main unit.

Note:

· Handle with care not to apply external force to connecting parts which connect the main unit and A-P.C.Board.

8.4.3. Adjustment Procedure

Prepare 2 pieces of thick black paper (23 mm × 100 mm) that can be shaded.

· Cover and shade LCD panels (R) and (G) with the paper.

1. Display the green crosshatch pattern and adjust the lens focus.

2. Display green and blue crosshatch patterns.

3. Adjust focus by shifting the panel adjuster for LCD panel (B) back and forth, then tighten the 2 screws.

4. Adjust the LCD panel (B) position so that the vertical center of blue crosshatch pattern is overlapped with the vertical center of green crosshatch pattern.

5. Adjust the LCD panel (B) position so that the horizontal center of blue crosshatch pattern is overlapped with the horizontal center of green crosshatch pattern.

6. Correct the tilt of the blue crosshatch pattern by adjusting the LCD panel (B) position.

7. Display green, red and blue crosshatch patterns and confirm the convergence. If it is necessary, fine adjust the convergence so that the blue crosshatch pattern is overlapped with green one.
