Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

1. Place the projector on a flat, level surf ace and in a dry area free from dust and moisture.

2. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.

3. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm internal components.

4. Handle your projector carefully . Dropping or jarring your projector could damage internal components.

5. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.

6. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

a Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. b The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure

proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

c In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector

and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. d Please consult your dealer for more information. e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.

To Dealer or Installer:

To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and fasten it in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight (107 kg/ 236 lb) of the projector (84 kg/185.3 lb), the lens (10 kg/22 lb) and the ceiling mount(13 kg/28.7 lb) for an extended period of time as well as to withstand earthquakes.

Power Supply

1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 2.8 KW AC200-240V 50/60Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector . Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall. Allow at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the ventilation outlet and object.

2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector . Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should f all into your projector, disconnect it immediately and ha ve the object remov ed by a qualified your service person.

3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

CAUTION: High Pressure Lamp Ma y Explode if Improperly Handled. Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.

Lamp Caution: Please read before operation

Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment, there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working order , b ut if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 750 hours, the risk of e xplosion increases. Please note that there is a warning system built in, that displays the following message when you reach 750 hours of operation” Lamp Running Time is Over 750 Hours!!” When you see this message please contact your DIGIT AL PROJECTION Dealer f or a replacement. If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the side of the unit. This smoke is comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rub y our eyes! This could cause seri-

ous injury.

WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

3. If the projector will not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

4. Placing the power cord and the RGB cable closely to each other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.

Cleaning

1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.

2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.

3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

CAUTION

Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector:

• While the message "Please wait a moment" appears. This message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.

• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).

• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (After the projector is turned off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to work for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes).

Recommandations importantes

Ces instructions de sécurité ont pour but d'assurer une longue vie à votre projecteur et d'éviter un incendie ou une décharge électrique. Prière de les lire avec attention et de tenir compte de tous les av ertissements.

Installation

1. Placer le projecteur sur une surface plate et de niveau, et dans un endroit sec et à l'abri des poussières et de l'humidité.

2. Ne pas exposer le projecteur aux ray ons directs du soleil, ni le placer près d'un chauffage ou de dispositifs de radiation de chaleur.

3. L'exposition aux rayons directs du soleil, à la fumée ou à la vapeur pourrait endommager des composants internes.

4. Manipuler le projecteur avec précautions. Laisser tomber le projecteur ou lui donner des chocs pourrait endommager des composants internes.

5. Ne pas poser d'objets lourds sur le dessus du projecteur.

6. Si vous voulez installer le projecteur au plafond:

a. N’essayez pas d’installer le projecteur vous-même. b. Le projecteur doit être installé par un technicien qualifié pour garantir une

installation réussie et réduire le risque d’éventuelles blessures corporelles.

c. De plus le plafond doit être suffisamment solide pour supporter le projecteur

et l’installation doit être conforme aux réglementations locales de con-

struction. d. Veuillez consulter votre revendeur pour de plus amples informations. e. Ne pas superposer les projecteurs accrochés au plafond.

A l’attention du revendeur ou de l’installateur:

Afin d’empêcher une chute éventuelle du projecteur, veuillez prendre en compte lors de son placement et de sa fixation de la force nécessaire pour supporter le poids total (107 kg), celui du projecteur (84 kg), de l’objectif (10 kg) et de l’ensemble de fixation au plafond (13 kg), pour de longues périodes et de façon à lui permettre de résister aux tremblements de terre.

Alimentation

1. Le projecteur est conçu pour fonctionner sous une tension d'alimentation de 2,8 KW CA 200-240 V 50/60 Hz. S'assurer que la tension du secteur soit conforme à ces caractéristiques avant d'utiliser le projecteur.

2. Manipuler le cordon d'alimentation avec précautions et éviter des flexions excessives. Un cordon endommagé peut occasionner une décharge électrique ou un incendie.

3. Si le projecteur ne doit pas être utilisé pendant une longue période, débrancher la fiche de la prise de courant.

4. Placer le cordon d'alimentation et le câble RGB tout près l'un de l'autre peut occasionner un bruit de battement. Si cela se produit, les maintenir séparés jusqu'à ce que le bruit de battement disparaisse.

Nettoyage

1. Débrancher le projecteur avant de le nettoyer.

2. Nettoyer régulièrement le boîtier extérieur avec un chiffon humide. S'il est très sale, utiliser un détergent doux. Ne jamais utiliser de détergent forts ou de solvants tels que de l'alcool ou du diluant.

Précautions contre l'incendie ou la décharge

1. S'assurer qu'il y ait une ventilation suffisante et que les ouvertures ne soient pas obstruées afin d'éviter des concentrations potentiellement dangereuses d'ozone et l'accumulation de chaleur à l'intérieur du projecteur. Laisser au moins 20 cm d'espace entre le projecteur et un mur. Veuillez laisser un espace libre d’au moins 50 cm (20 pouces) entre les orifices de ventilation et l’objet.

2. Empêcher tous objets étrangers tels que des attaches trombones ou des morceaux de papier de tomber à l'intérieur du projecteur. Ne pas essayer de récupérer des objets qui seraient tombés dans le projecteur. Ne pas introduire d'objets métalliques tels qu'un fil ou un tournevis dans le projecteur. Si quelque-chose doit tomber dans le projecteur, le débrancher immédiatement et faire enlever l'objet par un technicien agréé DIGIT AL PROJECTION.

3. Ne pas poser de liquides sur le dessus du projecteur.

ATTENTION: La lampe à haute pression peut exploser si elle est manipulée incorrectement. Confier l'entretien à du personnel d'entretien qualifié.

Précautions avec la lampe : lire avant l'utilisation

La lampe a été scellée dans un environnement sous pression, et il y a donc un petit risque d'explosion, si elle n'est pas utilisée correctement. Le risque est minime si l'appareil est en bon ordre de marche, mais s'il est endommagé ou utilisé au-delà des 750 heures recommandées, le risque d'explosion augmente alors. Il est à noter l'existence d'un système d'avertissement intégré, lequel affiche le message "Lamp Running Time is Over 750 Hours!! (Le temps de fonctionnement de la lampe a dépassé 750 heures !!)" lorsque les 750 heures de fonctionnement sont atteintes. Lorsque ce message apparaît, prière de contacter son revendeur DIGITAL PROJECTION pour un remplacement. Si la lampe explose, de la fumée peut être produite par les fentes d'aération situées sur le côté de l'appareil. Cette fumée est composée de verre sous forme de particules et de gaz de Xenon, et n'est pas nuisible si elle est maintenue à distance des yeux. Si les yeux sont exposés à ce gaz, les rincer immédiatement à l'eau courante et consulter tout de suite un médecin. Ne pas frotter les yeux ! Cela

pourrait provoquer une grave blessure.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Ne pas regarder dans l'objectif lorsque le projecteur est allumé. De sérieux dommages aux yeux pourraient en résulter.

ATTENTION

Ne pas débrancher le câble d’alimentation de la prise du secteur dans les circonstances suivantes car cela risque d’endommager le projecteur:

• Lorsque le message “Veuillez patientez un instant“ apparaît. Ce message sera affiché après que le projecteur soit éteint.

• Immédiatement après que le cordon d'alimentation électrique ait été branché sur la prise du mur (l'indicateur POWER n'est pas encore devenu orange).

• Immédiatement après que le ventilateur de refroidissement de soit arrêté de fonctionner. (Après que le projecteur ait été mis hors tension à l’aide du bouton POWER OFF, le ventilateur d’aération continue à tourner durant 3 minutes tandis que le INDICATOR à deux chiffres "--" clignote).

3. Utiliser un souffleur ou du papier pour objectif pour nettoyer l'objectif , et faire attention de ne pas griffer ou endommager l'objectif.

2) Hookup

2-1. Use the supplied DVI-D cable to connect the RGB DIGITAL output

of the master projector to the RGB DIGITAL input (INPUT9 ) of the slave projector until all the projectors are connected.

Keystone distortion

Keystone is the distortion of a projected image that usually creates a wider top than bottom. Aiming a projector upward on a w all rather than straight at a wall creates this distortion. Use the 䊴 or 䊳 buttons on the slide bar to correct this keystone (trapezoidal) distortion.

Normal

NOTE: The keystone feature is not available when the test pattern or the blue background is displayed.

NOTE: With the projector aimed directly at the screen the maximum keystone angle that can be corrected is +/- 7.5 degrees.

Setting up for Double Stacking in Link Mode

Lens Memory

This function serves to store the adjusted value when using the Shift, Focus, and Zoom buttons of the main unit or the remote control.

Usage Example When you wish to display on a screen having a 4:3 aspect ratio an NTSC or other 4:3 aspect ratio signal and an SXGA or other 5:4 aspect ratio signal:

Switcher (available only when used with ISS-6020)

Gain

Perform shift, focus, and zoom adjustments to set the vertical screen size of the vertically long 5:4 aspect ratio signal to standard. Both 4:3 apsect ratio signals and 5:4 aspect ratio signals can now be displayed. Note that with these shift, focus, and zoom adjustments, the 4:3 aspect ratio signal will become smaller on the screen. To eliminate this size reduction, adjust the shift, focus and zoom to the optimum condition for each of the 4:3 aspect ratio signal and the 5:4 aspect ratio signal. Memory (storage) of each of these values will permit projection at an optimum condition upon signal switching.

1) Select "Projector Options" → "Setup" → "Page 4" → "Lens Memory" and

then insert a check mark into the Lens Memory check box.

2) Set to no-signal condition or project a 5:4 aspect ratio signal and then adjust each of shift, focus, and zoom.

3) Select "Reference" under "Adjust(Source)" → "Lens Memory" → "Refer- ence/Custom" and store your adjustments.

* For signals other than those having a 5:4 aspect ratio (or, 5:4 aspect ratio

signals that you wish to adjust separately), adjust shift, focus, and zoom, select "Custom" under "Reference/Custom", then press "Store". The differences between "Reference" and "Custom" are described below.

"Reference": Valid adjustment value for a no-signal condition and a newly input signal "Custom": Custom adjustment v alue for a specific signal Note that when "Reference" is stored, it will be overwritten since it is not an adjustment that changes with each signal. In the aforementioned description, signals having a 5:4 aspect ratio are restricted to "Reference", but signals having other aspect ratios can also be used as standard signals. Another method to store values is to press the INFO button while holding down the CTL button of the remote control. Note that when using the remote control for storing, storage will be in "Reference" when the "Lens Memory" setting of the menu is "Reference", and storage will be in "Custom" when the setting is "Custom". Defaults such as newly input signals are "Reference".

* See “Tips on Adjusting Focus for Lens Memory Function” on page E-47 for

more information.

Signal Type

Select either the RGB signal type or the Component signal type.

RGB ............. RGB signal

Component .. Composite signals such as Y/Cb/Cr, Y/Pb/Pr

NOTE: This feature is available on RGB 1 and 2 only.

This feature adjusts the input level of the signal. This must be done to each color:R, G, and B.

Volume

This feature adjusts the volume of the audio output. Adjust the sound corresponding to the slot.

Ref Adj

Keystone

This feature corrects the keystone (trapezoidal) distortion to make the top of the screen longer or shorter to be the same as the bottom. Use the 䊴 or 䊳 buttons on the slide bar to correct the keystone (trapezoidal) distortion.

Keystone distortion

NOTE:

1) With the projector aimed directly at the screen the maximum keystone angle that can be corrected is +/- 7.5 degrees.

2) When "Resolution" is set to "Native", this feature is not available, and the stored settings and adjustments are invalid. Depending on the type of graphics being used, the picture may get blurred or keystone correction may not be possible when excessive keystone correction is used. The idea is, the closer you are to native resolution, the better image you will see.

NOTE: The keystone feature is not available when the test pattern or the blue back is displayed.

Tips on Adjusting Focus for Lens Memory Function

Optimum focus for lens memory function can be achieved on the projector by paying special attention in a few areas. Focus adjustment after the projector has warmed up to normal operating temperature is better than doing so when the projector is cold. Lens mechanics interact differently when adjusting focus from one direction to the other. For this reason final focus adjustments should be done in a specific direction.

For optimum focus of lens memory function, follo w the steps belo w. For the zoom and the lens shift adjustment, perform the normal procedures. See the "Lens Memory" section on page E-35 for storing the adjustment data.

Preparation (Recommend) :

Warm up the projector for about 60 minutes.

Adjusting the Focus

1)Practice focusing Use the FOCUS (+) or (-) button on the projector or the remote control to increase the focus values or decrease the focus values to verify the accuracy of focusing.

2)Try optimizing defocus Use the FOCUS button (-) to decrease the focus values until pixel patterns are too blurry to be visible.

3)Obtain correct focus Use the FOCUS button (+) to obtain the best focus. Do not use the FOCUS (-) button at this time. Finally store the adjustments in memory. If you adjust beyond the best focal point, go back to step 2) and repeat the procedures. Always adjust the focus from the negative direction towards the positive direction.

NOTE 1: The Lens Memory function is available on the two optional lenses TL-1ZH or TL-2Z only. NOTE 2: The Lens Memory function is not available in the Link mode.
