CAUTIONS and NOTES

' Install the screen so the lower edge of the projected picture aligns with the extended center line of the projector’s lens.

That way, the lower edge of the picture projected on a 4 : 3 aspect ratio screen aligns with the extended center line of the

lens. Also, the screen must be at right angles with the extended center line of the lens (so that projection occurs at right
angles with the screen).

' When installing the screen, use a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture.

(A 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4: 3 aspect ratio picture is projected.)

' The diagonal length of a 16 ; 9 aspect ratio picture is about 91.8% that of a 4; 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is a guide

and should be used as a reference.

■ When projecting at the maximum projection distance (20 m/65.6 ft), we recommend that the projector be used with the

zoom on the Tele (T).

’ If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a

curtain, etc. to shield the light.

> Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected.

Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +7°; horizontal adjustment angle:
±1.5°) so that it is set up level.

•The numeric values listed in the table of Relationship between Projection Distances and Screen Sizes on page 17 are
provided only as a guide or reference. The projection sizes may vary within manufacturing tolerances of the projection

lens.

• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture.

When Turning On the Devices Connected to the Projector

Turn on the switches of the projector and the devices connected in the following order. Skip over unconnected devices if there is any.

' When turning off the power switches, do so in the reverse order.

When the OPERATE (or “operate”) button is pressed but the power is not supplied:

If the filter or lamp replacement opening cover is displaced, the power is not supplied. Check them for correct installation.

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Do not turn off the MAIN POWER switch suddenly while the projector is being used or immediately after it has been

used. This could cause a malfunction.

•Since the projector uses a high-intensity lamp and is heated to high temperature, cooling fans are operating even during
projection. So, after use, the cooling fans continue to run from when the OPERATE (or “operate”) button is pressed until the
lamp is cooled down. During cooling, the “stand by” indicator blinks to alert the cooling fans are running. During this time, do
not turn off the main power switch. After the cooling of the lamp is finished (the fans stop) and the “stand by” indicator comes
on, then turn off the main power switch.

• If you press the OPERATE (or “operate”) button immediately after the lamp lights, it takes about 40 seconds for the lamp to go
off. To turn the lamp on again, wait 10 seconds or more before pressing the OPERATE (or “operate”) button.

When the “temperature” indicator lights, the power turns off automatically.

• While the lamp is on, if an abnormal temperature rise is detected, the “temperature” indicator comes on, the power is automatically
cut off, and the projector’s “emergency” indicator blinks (goes into an emergency mode).

When the “emergency” indicator blinks, turn off the main power switch after the fans have stopped running.

• If the following abnormality occur to the projector, it goes into an emergency mode (the “emergency” indicator blinks).
When the projector goes into an emergency mode, it stops projecting automatically and runs the fans for about 20 seconds.

- When the filter is dislodged.

- When the filter is clogged.

- When the lamp suddenly goes off.

- When the fans stop running.

- When the temperature inside rises abnormally high.

•When the projector goes into an emergency mode;
After the fans have stopped, turn off the MAIN POWER switch and pull out the power cord. After that, re-insert the power cord
and try to operate the projector. If it goes into emergency again, after the fans have stopped, turn off the main power switch,
pull out the power cord, and consult your authorized dealer or service center for repair.

Replacing the Lamp

The lamp service life is 1000 hours.

When the lamp approaches the end of its service life, its degradation progresses rapidly. When the lamp’s used hours exceeds
900 hours, the projector’s “lamp replace’’ indicator comes on. Also, at the start of projection (lamp energized), the message
“REPL.-LAMP” appears on the projection screen for about two minutes. Then, replace with a new lamp, or arrange for a

replacement lamp. When lamp’s service has reached 1000 hours, the projector’s “lamp replace” indicator starts blinking, and if
you press the “operate” button or press the remote control’s OPERATE button for more than one second, the lamp does not turn
on. The specified lamp replacement period is 1000 hours, but depending on use conditions, the replacement period may vary.

If video image is dark and its color tint is extraordinary even after you have adjusted color tint and brightness, replace the lamp
a little earlier.

Purchase new lamps from the dealer where you have purchased the projector, or consult the nearest service center.

CAUTIONS and NOTES

’ If the projector is set up in a tight place which is unsuitable for work, and if you perform replacement work there, this could hurt

you. Move the projector to a place wide enough for work, and then replace the lamp.

’ Use a genuine product for the lamp. If you use other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction. Also, never use

an old lamp. An old lamp could cause marked degradation in performance or explode, possibly causing the projector to
malfunction. Also, its broken pieces could come out of the projector and harm you when replacing the lamp.

' Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the lamp is still high and could

cause a burn. Be sure to allow a cooling period of one hour or more before performing replacement work.

' Before starting lamp replacement work, turn off the MAIN POWER switch (see page 26), and disconnect the power cord from

the wall outlet. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord left connected, this could cause harm or electric
shock.

’ Never discard an old lamp (used lamp), as is. Otherwise, this could involve a great danger. The lamp contains an xenon gas

inside, which is applying a high pressure. If the gas is not removed, it could cause the lamp to explode.
For handling used lamps, refer to the manual supplied with the new replacement lamp you have purchased. If you have any
questions, consult an authorized dealer where you have bought the replacement lamp or nearest service center.

CAUTION

> Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp directly with

your hand as well as staining it. If you touch with a bare
hand, stains on your hand may adhere to the lamp,

possibly preventing the lamp from performing as
specified due to a shortened lamp life, a darkened screen,
etc. To handle a new lamp, hold its plastic part. Never
touch the metal part or the front glass surface.

CAUTIONS

' Install the lamp unit and close the lamp-replacement opening cover correctly; otherwise, a safety switch is activated

to prevent the projector from operating.

' If the claw on the lamp-replacement opening cover is damaged, the projector may not operate. Then, replace with a

new lamp-replacement opening cover.

' After replacing the lamp, be sure to reset the lamp use time (see page 50).

• This completes the resetting of the lamp use time.

To check the lamp use time has been reset:

You can check it by LAMP TIME on the OPTIONS menu.

CAUTIONS

• After replacing with a new lamp, be sure to reset the
lamp use time. When the lamp use time indicates 1000
hours, and if it is not reset, the projector does not

operate. (The lamp does not turn on.)

• Reset the lamp use time only when you have replaced
with a new lamp. Never reset it at a halfway time.

Otherwise, the replacement time may become unclear,
degrade performance markedly, or cause lamp

explosion.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Clean the filter periodically. If the filter is heavily stained and does not get clean, or if it is damaged, replace the filter

with a new filter. Otherwise, dirt may get inside and appear on the screen. If dirt gets inside or if you need information
about the filter, consult an authorized dealer where you have purchased the projector.

Turn off the MAIN POWER switch.

1

After the projector goes into stand-by state with the “stand by” indicator on, turn off the main power switch and pull out the
power cord from the projector and the wall outlet.

_____________

Remove the filter.

Loosen the screw with a flat-end screwdriver.

• The screws are fitted so that they do not come off the filter.

• If the filter is clogged with dirt, etc., the projector goes into an
emergency mode (the “emergency” indicator blinks).
So, clean the filter periodically. For the emergency mode, refer to
pages 9 and 25.

2 Clean the filter.

Clean the filter with a neutral detergent, wash it in water, and then dry it in the shade.

^ Reinstall the filter.

Fasten the screw with a flat-end screwdriver.

' Install the filter correctly. Othenwlse, the projector does not operate.

(Goes Into an emergency mode.)

• If the filter’s claws are damaged, the projector may not operate. Then,
replace with a new filter.

CAUTIONS

Put on rubber gloves when using neutral detergent.

After you have washed the filter in water, make sure the filter is
completely dry before reinstalling it. Otherwise, electric shock
or malfunction could occur.

Do not clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner. Since the filter
is soft, it may be sucked into the vacuum cleaner or damaged.
