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)

CAUTION:

● Do not connect the power cord when a lens (optional)

is not attached.

● The [STANDBY/ON], [LAMP], and [WARNING] indicators light up for about 45 seconds, after which the

[STANDBY/ON] indicator turns red.

NOTE:

● The default IP address of all LX-5 is “192.168.0.2”. If multiple units of LX-5 are used on the same network, do not turn on the main power of more than one projector unit at the same time. Doing so will result in duplication of the IP address, and thereby preventing proper access.

● When using multiple units of LX-5, turn on the main power of the second unit and configure accordingly only after configuration of the first unit is complete. Configure subsequent units using the same procedure.

● When duplication occurs in the IP address, make sure that only one unit of LX-5 is connected on the same network (turn off the main power of the other LX-5 units). Allow a time interval of at least 10 minutes before accessing. If access fails, turn off the power of all network equipments on the same network, followed by turning them on again.

Maintenance

Turn off the power of the projector unit, and unplug the power cord when cleaning or replacing the filter.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Clean the filter regularly. If the filter is soiled, air intake efficiency may deteriorate, thus resulting in malfunction of the product. Replace with a new one if the filter fails to remove dust thoroughly or if it is damaged. Failure to do so may cause dust to enter the projector and shadows to appear on the projected image. If dirt has entered this product or if you need to purchase the filter, please consult your authorized dealer.

Filter

Sponge

CAUTION:

● Remove the four screws on the inner side (for fastening the filter cover).

LX-5_EN.book Page 43 Friday, July 4, 2008 9:35 AM

1 Remove the filter cover

The filter is located at the front and side of the projector unit.

2 Remove the sponge and filter

Hold the center of the filter using your fingers, and pull the filter toward you to remove it.

3 Clean the sponge and filter

Remove any dirt or dust using a vacuum cleaner.

CAUTION:

● Do not clean using a flammable air duster. This may

cause fire.

4 Mount the sponge and filter

Mount the filter and sponge to the projector using the reverse removed procedure.

Finally, check to ensure that the filter cover is firmly mounted.

NOTE:

● Mount the filter correctly. Failure to do so may cause

the projector to malfunction.

● The projector may stop operating if a damaged filter or

filter panel is used. In this case, replace the filter or filter panel with a new one.

Routine Servicing

 Clean 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. Pay 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

 Remove dirt that is attached to the vent holes

Do this using a vacuum cleaner. Wipe using a cloth if a vacuum cleaner cannot be used. Leaving dust attached may prevent adjustment of the internal temperature and result in malfunction of the projector.

 Clean 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 or knocking it.

Replacement of Light Source Lamp

The light source lamp is a consumable item. Replace with a new lamp unit if the image appears dull or if the lamp burns out.

● When the lamp needs to be replaced soon, users will

be notified through a message on the screen and the indicator. (A Page 46, 47)

● The life of the lamp used for this projector is about

1500 hours. This is the average life of lamps, and not a guaranteed value.

● The lamp life may not reach 1500 hours depending on

the operating conditions.

● Deterioration progresses rapidly when the remaining

lamp usable time is short.

● If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace

the lamp unit as soon as possible.

● For details on replacement of the lamp unit, please

consult your authorized dealer.

● Lamp has to be replaced by an authorized person. Do

not remove PANEL BACK and lamp Unit. This may cause fire and electric shock hazards. Access to the lamp unit only possible with use of tool.
