Useful Features and Functions

z Mercury-free Hybrid Light Source
A CASIO-original laser and LED hybrid light source delivers high luminance up to 2,700 lumens. This projector does not use a mercury lamp, making it environmentally friendly.
z No-wait Projection
A CASIO hybrid light source reaches maximum brightness immediately after power is turned on, compared with a wait of approximately one minute normally required with a mercury lamp. The light source will even reach maximum brightness immediately if you turn it back on right after you turn it off. A mercury lamp requires a longer wait in this case to cool down.
z Eco Mode
You can select from among five levels that provide different combinations that balance power saving with projection brightness.
z Support for Three Input Sources
Analog RGB, component video (Y·Cb·Cr, Y·Pb·Pr), and HDMI input sources are supported.
z Vertical Keystone Correction
Manual adjustment to correct for vertical keystoning (distortion of the projected image shape caused when projecting from below or above the projection surface) and return the projected image to a rectangular shape.
z AUDIO OUT Terminal for Audio Output
Audio input via the projector’s HDMI terminal or AUDIO IN terminal is output from its AUDIO OUT terminal. Amped speakers or other equipment can be connected to the AUDIO OUT terminal when you want to output audio from another device via the projector.
z Ceiling Mounted and Rear Projection Support
The projector can be configured to project an image of normal orientation even when installed upside down (for ceiling projection) or when projecting from behind the screen.
z Direct Power On
The projector can be configured to turn on automatically and start projecting as soon as it is plugged into a power outlet.
z Firmware update
Firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) updates can be transferred to the projector from a computer as required.

Getting Ready

This section explains how to select a location for the projector, how to connect its cables, and how to perform other operations required before using it.

Setting Up the Projector

Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure that you allow sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. The illustrations below show how the projector should be oriented relative to the screen for optimum projection.
Screen
Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.

Setup Precautions

z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the
projector.
z Do not located any objected within 30 cm (11.8 inches) around the projector. Particular care is
required to keep objects away from projector air intake and exhaust openings.
z Airflow from air conditioning equipment can blow the heat being exhausted from the area around
the projector’s lens in a way that causes heat ripples to appear in the projected image. If this happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment or move the projector.
6

Connecting Projector Cables

Connect the projector to a power outlet and to an input source device.
Use an RGB cable to connect to the RGB output terminal of a computer or other input source.
Use an HDMI cable* to connect to the HDMI output terminal of a computer, video equipment, or other input source.
* Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI cable.
Use the supplied power cord to plug the projector into a power outlet.
Note
z For more information about component video connection, see “Connecting to a Component
Video Output” on page 32.

Component, HDMI (DTV) Normal J 16:9 J 16:10 J 4:3
Description of Each Setting
Normal:Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size while maintaining the input signal aspect
ratio. Full: Projects at the projector’s maximum possible size by enlarging or reducing the input signal. 16:9: This setting specifies a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is the same as a movie screen, high-definition
TV, etc. Using this setting when the input signal is a 16:9 image that has been squeezed to a
4:3 image causes the image to be displayed with its normal 16:9 aspect ratio. 16:10: This setting specifies a 16:10 aspect ratio. Use this setting to adjust the image for projection
onto a 16:10 aspect ratio screen. 4:3: Regardless of the input signal aspect ratio, the image is always resized to an aspect ratio of
4:3 for projection.
Note
z For details about how the aspect ratio setting affects the projected image, see “Aspect Ratio
Setting and Projection Image” (page 35).
z You can also change the aspect ratio using the Setup Menu “Screen Settings 3 Aspect
Ratio” setting (page 20).
