Safety Instructions

Air Circulation

Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

CAUTION

Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. When using or installing the projector, the following precautions should be taken. – Do not put any flammable object or spray can near

the projector, hot air is exhausted from the air vents.

– Keep the exhaust vent at least 3’ (1 m) away from

any objects.

– Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent,

especially screws and metallic parts. These areas will become hot while the projector is being used.

– Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put on

the cabinet will not only get damaged but also may

cause fire hazard by heat. – Do not cover vents with papers or other materials. – Make sure that there are no objects under a

projector. An object under a projector may prevent a projector from taking cooling air through bottom vent.

AIR INTAKE VENT (BOTTOM SIDE)

EXHAUST VENT (HOT AIR EXHAUST)

EXHAUST VENT (REAR SIDE)

Cooling fans are provided to cool down the projector. The fans’ running speed is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

IMPORTANT!

Filter Maintenance!!

The projector uses a lamp which generates significant heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and the filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust from getting inside of the projector.

In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has accumulated on the projector or in the filter.

If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting, a Filter warning icon (Fig. 1) appears on the screen.

Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the projector and may require costly repairs but may also cause accidents or fire.

For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter” on page 54 and “Maintenance and Care” on pages 55.

Damages to the projector caused by using an uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will void the warranty on the projector.

Installing the Projector

in Proper Directions

Use the projector properly in specified positions. Improper positioning may reduce the lamp life and result in severe accident or fire hazard.

Terminals of a Projector

Installation

Connecting the AC Power Cord

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 200–240 V AC. It is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system. If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult your authorized dealer or service station. Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning on the projector.

CAUTION

The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.

✔Note:

• Unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use.

When the projector is connected to an outlet with AC power cord, it is in stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector.

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used. If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

Turning On the Projector

Basic Operation

Complete peripheral connections (with a computer,

VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.

Connect the projector’s AC power cord into an AC

outlet and turn the MAIN ON/OFF Switch to ON. The LAMP indicator lights red and the READY indicator lights green.

Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control

or on the remote control. The LAMP indicator dims red and the cooling fans start to operate. The preparation display appears on the screen and the countdown starts.

After the countdown, the input source that was

selected the last time and the Lamp mode icon (see page 56) appear on the screen.

If the projector is locked with a PIN code, PIN code Input Dialog Box will appear. Enter the PIN code as instructed below.

Enter a PIN code

Use the Point ed buttons on the side control or on the remote control to enter a number. Press the Point 8 button to fix the number and move the red frame pointer to the next box. The number changes to “✳.” Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number. After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to “Set.” Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.

The preparation display will disappear after 20 seconds.

Selected Input Source and Lamp control

Lamp mode

See page 56 for the Lamp control status

✔Note:

• The Lamp replacement icon and the Filter warning icon may appear on the screen depending on the usage state of the projector.

PIN code Input Dialog Box

If you fixed an incorrect number, use the Point 7 button to move the pointer to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct number.

If you entered an incorrect PIN code, “PIN code” and the number (✳✳✳✳) will turn red for a moment. Enter the correct PIN code all over again.

What is PIN code?

PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting a PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code lock function in the Setting Menu on page 5253 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

After the OK icon disappears, you can operate the projector.

✔Note:

• When the Logo select function is set to “Off,” the logo will not be shown on the screen (p.48).

• When the “Countdown off” or “Off” is selected in the Display function, the countdown will not be shown on the screen (p.47).

• During the countdown period, all operations are invalid.

• If the correct PIN code number is not entered within three minutes after the PIN code dialog box appeared, the projector will be turned off automatically.

• The “1234” is set as the initial PIN code at the factory.

CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Take special care in setting a new PIN code; write down the number in a column on page 75 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

Basic Operation

Turning Off the Projector

Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control

or on the remote control, and “Power off?” appears on the screen.

Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control

or on the remote control again to turn off the projector. The LAMP indicator lights bright and the READY indicator turns off. After the projector is turned off, the cooling fans operate for 90 seconds. You cannot turn on the projector during this cooling down period.

When the projector has cooled down enough, the

READY indicator lights green and then you can turn on the projector. To unplug the AC power cord, wait until the projector is completely cooled down.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF. DO NOT UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD WHILE COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE THE READY INDICATOR LIGHTS GREEN AGAIN. OTHERWISE IT WILL RESULT IN SHORTENING OF THE LAMP LIFE.

“Power off?” disappears after 4 seconds.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST. CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.

✔Note:

• When the On start function is set to “On,” the projector will be turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet (p.51).

• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled enough.

• If the WARNING TEMP. indicator blinks red, see “Warning Indicators” on page 69.

• The projector cannot be turned on during the cooling period with the READY indicator turned off. You can turn it on again after the READY indicator becomes green again.
