correctly when you load them.
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak
and stain the area around them, or to
explode, creating the risk of fire and personal
injury. Make sure that you always observe the
following precaution.
• Use only the type of batteries that is
specified for the remote controller.
● Dead batteries
Be sure to remove batteries from the remote
controller as soon as they go dead.
• Remove batteries from the remote
controller if you do not plan to use
it for a long time.
● Disposing of batteries
Make sure that you dispose of used batteries
in accordance with the rules and regulations
in your local area.
Lamp Precautions
● Lamp removal
Never remove the lamp from the
projector immediately after using it.
The lamp becomes very hot during
use, creating the risk of burn injury.
Turn off the projector. After the
POWER/STANDBY indicator changes to
steady (not flashing) amber, unplug the
projector from the power outlet. Next,
wait for at least 60 minutes before
removing the lamp.
● Specified lamp type
Use only the lamp type that is
specified for this projector. Use of any
other type of lamp creates the risk of
fire and breakdown.
● Lamp replacement
Before replacing the lamp, be sure to
turn off the projector and unplug it
from the power outlet. Failure to do so
creates the risk of electric shock.
• Take care when replacing a broken lamp.
A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to
be scattered inside the lamp housing. Glass
inside of the lamp housing may also be
discharged from the projector’s vent exhaust
ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes
mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area
whenever the lamp breaks. Should you
accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas
fumes get into your eyes, immediately
contact a physician.
● Broken lamp
Never attempt to replace a broken
lamp on your own. The projector uses
a mercury lamp with high internal
pressure as its light source. Should
the lamp break, be sure to contact
your original dealer or authorized
CASIO service center to request
replacement. Attempting to replace a
broken lamp on your own creates the
risk of personal injury due to broken
glass or dispersed mercury.
Other
Allowing dust to build up inside the projector
for long periods without cleaning creates the
risk of fire and breakdown. Contact your
original dealer or authorized CASIO service
center once a year about having the interior
of the projector cleaned. Note that you will be
charged for cleaning.

Operating Precautions
Operating Precautio ns
z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can damage the lamp and
shorten its life.
z The light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately
2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp
replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating
conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears.
z Lamps are guaranteed for 90 days from the date of purchase or for 500 hours operation,
whichever comes first.
z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that is
weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if
exposed to loud noise. Note that the performance of the lamp differs greatly from lamp to
lamp, and due to conditions under which a lamp is used.
z The replacement message appears and the LAMP indicator flashes red after the lamp life is
reached. When this happens, replace the lamp using the instructions provided in this User’s
Guide.
z If the lamp continues to be used after its lamp life is reached, after 100 hours the projector
will enter a cool down state and then go into standby. The projector will not turn on again
until you replace the lamp.
z When the lamp life is reached, the message “It is time to replace the lamp. Use the
procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as soon as possible.” appears on the
display for about 10 seconds, and the LAMP indicator starts to flash red in one-second
intervals. Replace the lamp as soon as possible after the message appears or the LAMP
indicator flashes.
z Replace the lamp with a special YL-41 replacement lamp, which should be available from
your original dealer. Use only the lamp type that is specified for this projector.
z Turn off the projector. After the POWER/STANDBY indicator changes to steady (not flashing)
amber, unplug the projector from the power outlet. Next, wait for at least 60 minutes before
removing the lamp. Note that the lamp cartridge becomes very hot during normal use and
during standby. Handling it when hot creates the risk of burn injury.
z The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of old lamps in accordance with the rules and
regulations of your local jurisdiction.
z When replacing the lamp, use the special screwdriver that comes with the YL-41 replacement
lamp.
Lamp Handling Precautions
Caution
Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of
the lamp rupturing. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible
after the replacement message appears.

When very dirty, use a soft cloth that has been dampened in a weak solution of water and a
mild neutral detergent. Wring all excess water from the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner,
benzene, or any other volatile agent to clean the projector. Doing so can remove its markings
and cause staining of the case.
● Missing Screen Dots
Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available today,
some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate
malfunction.
● Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting.
If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily
go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be
accompanied by an error message.
If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not
return the projected image to its proper color, use the procedure under “To turn off the
projector” on page E-20 to turn projector power off and then back on again.
If the image reappears with an error message, correct the problem in accordance with the
indicator explanations in the “Troubleshooting” guide on page E-30.
● Keystone Correction and Image Quality
Performing keystone correction causes the image to be compressed before it is projected. This
can result distortion of the image or a loss of image quality. If this happens, change orientation
of the projector and/or screen so it conforms as much as possible to the illustration under
“Setting Up the Projector” on page E-14.
If image quality is the highest priority, turn off auto keystone correction and position the
projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.

Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image
When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and
horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input
source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by
pressing the [AUTO] key.
z You can turn off auto adjustment when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain
manual settings.
z The projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in
progress.
z If an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to
adjust items manually.
When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may
have different length left and right edges, or top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called,
“keystoning”. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone
correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image.
z Keystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original
(uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image
becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close
to the configuration shown under “Setting Up the Projector” on page E-14.
Performing Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction
Pressing the [AF/AK] key while the AF/AK Mode (initial default) is assigned to it causes both
Auto Focus and auto keystone correction to be performed.
z The [AF/AK] key can be configured to perform one of the three Auto Focus (AF) and auto
keystone correction operations described below. For information about configuring the [AF/
AK] key operation, see “Option Settings 2 J AF/AK Mode” in the User’s Guide on the
CD-ROM that comes with the projector.
• AF/AK Mode (initial default): Pressing the [AF/AK] key performs both keystone correction
and Auto Focus.
• Continuous AF/AK Mode: Pressing the [AF/AK] key projects an alignment chart that
comes in handy when the projection distance is relatively
far or when projecting at an angle. With the Continuous
AF/AK mode, the projector continually performs Auto Focus
as the projector is moved.
• AF Mode: Pressing the [AF/AK] key again performs Auto Focus only.
Manual Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE)
1. Press the [KEYSTONE] key.
z This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.
2. Use the [S] and [T] keys to select the keystone correction setting you want to
change, and then use the [W] and [X] keys to correct for keystoning.
Keystone Correction (AF/AK, KEYSTONE)
Projection Operations
E-24
Auto Focus (AF)
At times, the projector may not focus properly when you press the [AF/AK] key. This can be
caused by local environmental factors, etc. If this happens, focus the image manually or try
performing the AF operation again. If you often need to adjust focus manually, perform the steps
under “To adjust Auto Focus”, below.
Note that the allowable distance for Auto Focus is less than that for manual focus.
To adjust Auto Focus
1. Position the projector and screen so they are about 1.5 meters apart, and then press
the [ ](power) key to turn on the projector.
z Position the projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.
2. Press the [AF/AK] key.
3. Press the [KEYSTONE] key and then use the screen that appears to change the
vertical and horizontal keystone correction values to zero.
z This step is not necessary if these values are already zero.
4. Use the [FOCUS] keys to adjust focus manually.
5. While the focus indicator is being projected, hold down the [ENTER] key for about five
seconds.
z After about five seconds, the message “Focus operation successful.” or “Focus operation
failed.” is projected.
6. If the focus operation fails, repeat the above procedure from step 2.
Auto Keystone Correction
Certain operational environments and other factors can make it impossible to achieve sufficient
accuracy when performing keystone correction.
If an image appears distorted after performing auto keystone correction check the sensors for
dirt and clean them if necessary. See the User’s Guide (UsersGuide_English.pdf) on the CDROM that comes with the projector for more information.
If this does not solve the problem, try changing the position of the projector slightly or perform
manual keystone correction.
AF/AK at Short Projection Distances
Performing the AF/AK (Auto Focus, auto keystone correction) operation when there is sharp
angle and when there is only a short distance between the projector and screen can result in
the left and right edges of the image to be out of focus. If this happens, reduce the angle or
increase the distance between the projector and screen.

Using the Setup Menu
English
Using the Setup Menu
Pressing the [MENU] key while an image is being projected displays the setup menu on the
projected image. The setup menu can be used to configure a variety of different projector
settings. Use the cursor keys to select and configure settings, and the [ENTER] key to register
them.
