Precautions During Use
Burning-in of D-ILA Device
oDo not allow the same still picture to be
projected for a long time or an abnormally bright video image to be projected
Do not project still images with a high brightness or high contrast on the screen for a long time. This video image could be burnt into the D-ILA device.
Pay special attention when projecting video games and computer program images. Motion images such as normal video playback images do not pose the burning-in problem.
Viewing Conditions (Brightness of Room)
oBrightness of the room
Avoid direct exposure of screen to direct sunlight and lights such as by using a curtain. Images can be well projected by darkening the brightness of the room.
Maintenance Procedures
oClean dirt on the cabinet
Do this with a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry and wipe, followed by wiping again using a dry cloth.
oPay attention to the following to prevent the
cabinet from deteriorating in condition, getting damaged, or the paint from coming off.
Do not wipe with a stiff cloth
Do not wipe with force
Do not wipe with thinner or benzene
Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide
Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic
products
oClean dirt on the lens
Do this using commercial blowers or lens cleaning papers (for cleaning glasses and cameras).
Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to peeling of the surface coating film. Lens surface is fragile. Avoid rubbing it hard or knocking it.
oDo not view screen for prolonged hours
Looking at the screen continually for a prolonged time is tiring to the eyes. Allow your eyes to rest at intervals.
oDo not use this unit when image flickers
Image may flicker due to installation conditions and environment. This may cause your eyesight to deteriorate.
Environment of Use
oDo not use this projector in rooms with
cigarette smoke or oily smoke
Do not use this projector in rooms with cigarette smoke or oily smoke. This may cause the unit to malfunction.
oWhen mounting this projector to the ceiling
Check the temperature around the projector unit. When a heater is in use, the ceiling may reach a temperature higher than anticipated, hence leading to malfunction of the unit.
Gauging replacement time of components
This product comes with replacement components required for maintaining the functions of this product, such as optical components, cooling fan and filters. The timing for replacing components varies considerably according to the frequency and environment of use. For details on replacement of components (except filters), please consult any nearby Barco servicing center.

NOTE:
When using the lens shift feature, do not exceed the
range (shift amount) as shown above. If the shift amount exceeds the range as shown, shadows will appear on the projected image.
When shift amount in the left direction is –50 %
Install the projector such that the center of the lens is aligned with the 1/4 position from the right edge of the screen.
Lens Fixation Mechanism
A screw for securing the lens mechanism is attached in the factory shipment to prevent damage of the equipment during transportation. If the lens does not move horizontally or vertically when you operate AShiftB in the Lens menu, this could be because the screw has not been removed. When this occurs, please consult your authorized dealer.

Overlaying projected images (when zoom
lens is in use)
Projecting images by stacking projectors
The lens shift feature enables you to use up to three stacked projectors at the same time. Stacking projectors enhances the brightness level, and helps to project images that are sufficiently bright even when the venue is relatively big or bright.
CAUTION:
When the projectors are stacked together during use, ensure that the installation site is sufficiently strong and there is proper air cooling around the projectors.
Take the necessary measures to prevent the projectors from toppling or falling off so as to ensure safety during emergency situations, such as earthquakes, and to prevent accidents from occurring. For details, please consult your authorized dealer.
When light passes through the glass of
projection booth
NOTE:
When light passes through the glass, the quantity of
light decreases. Make sure that the glass of the projection booth is not more than one piece.
Do not use glass if possible.
When projecting light on an inclined glass surface,
adjust the glass angle as well as installation angle of this unit accordingly to prevent impact on the image due to diffuse reflection.
Projecting images by arranging projectors
side by side
The lens shift feature enables you to use up to two projectors that are arranged side by side. Arranging two projectors side by side enhances the brightness level, and helps to project images that are sufficiently bright even when the venue is relatively big or bright. When projecting images by arranging the projectors side by side, adjust the shift amount of both projectors accordingly to superimpose the images.
NOTE:
When using the projectors by arranging them side by side, ensure that the installation site is sufficiently strong and there is proper air cooling around the projectors. For details, please consult your authorized dealer. (A Page 12)
