Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while
the projector is turned on.
• 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 project. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed
by a qualified service personnel.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply
fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the
lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause
unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of
the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust vent.
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light
output and exhaust.
• Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not use any power cables than the supplied one.
- Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.
- Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.
- Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.
- Do not heat the power cable
- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
- When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user's manual.
- If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
- If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector

Important Information
CAUTION
•
Always carry your projector by the carrying handle. Before doing so, be sure to lock the carrying handle in place.
To lock the carrying handle, see "To lock the carrying handle" on page 6.
• Do no use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as using the tilt foot to carry or
hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projector can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the projector in a soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the
soft case could be damaged.
• Select [High] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select
[Setup - Options] → [Fan Mode] → [High].)
• Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector
and starting to display an image.
• Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so
can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.
To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch
and a breaker.
• The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned off.
Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated
while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off.
• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is
blinking green. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
Caution on Handling the Optional Lens
When shipping the projector with the optional lens, remove the optional lens before shipping the projector. The lens
and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation.
Remote Control Precautions
• Handle the remote control carefully.
• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
• Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
• Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
Lamp Replacement
• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please
replace the lamp.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable
life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as
the pieces of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on
and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
CAUTION:
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

2. Installation and Connections
Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and
before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power manage-
ment software.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or
off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external
display selections.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan
converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the AUTO ADJUST button on the
projector cabinet.
* When noise appears on the sides of the screen:
Use the Overscan feature to display the image correctly.
Be sure to change the Overscan to 0% before pressing the AUTO ADJ or AUTO ADJUST button, otherwise an image may be
displayed with its sides cut off.

2. Installation and Connections
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI-D signal cable (not supplied)
before turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select DVI (DIGITAL) from the source menu
before turning on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should
this happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and
then re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use a DVI-D cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The
DVI-D cable should be within 10 m (394") long.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector (COMPUTER 3) accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), SXGA
(1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz) and SXGA+ (1400x1050 @ up to 60Hz).

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the DVI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning
properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and
might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Correcting Keystone Distortion
When the projector is not exactly perpendicular to the screen, keystone distortion occurs. To overcome it, you can use the
"Keystone" function, a digital technology that can adjust for keystone-type distortion, resulting in a crisp, square image.
The following procedure explains how to use the [Keystone] screen from the menu to correct trapezoidal distortions.
When the projector is placed diagonally to the screen,
When the projector is set up at an angle in relation to the screen, adjust the Horizontal option of the Keystone menu so
that the top and bottom of sides of the projected image are parallel.
1. Press the 3D REFORM button on the remote control or the projector
cabinet.
The Keystone screen will be displayed on the screen.
2. Press the SELECT button to select [Vertical] and then use the

Operation Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser without the installation of
special software. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser. (This
device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method
will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your
software.)
Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying
http:// <the projector’s IP address> /index.html
in the entry column of the URL.
NOTE:
• The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your network.
Should this happen, consult your network administrator.
The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and
repeat. If you still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.
• Do not use the HTTP Server functions and PC Control Utility 3.0 included on the supplied CD-ROM. Using both at the same time
may result in a connection failure or slow response.
Preparation Before Use
Make network connections and set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations. (→ [LAN Mode] on page 89)
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the
setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set
will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be
reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the
projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of
the projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the projector has been set to “pj.nec.co.jp”,
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html
is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the
HTTP server functions by specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
