shock.

• Do not place the projector on an unstable, slanted or vibrational surface such

as a wobbly or inclined stand.

• Do not place the projector on its side, front or rear position.

• Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as suspending from

a ceiling or somewhere else.
►Place the projector in a cool place, and ensure that there is sufcient
ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause re, burns and/or
malfunction of the projector.

• Do not stop-up, block or otherwise cover the projector's vents.

• Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides of the projector and other

objects such as walls.

• Do not place the projector on metallic thing or anything weak in heat.

• Do not place the projector on carpet, cushions or bedding.

• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight or near hot objects such as heaters.

• Do not place anything near the projector lens or vents, or on top of the

projector.

• Do not place anything that may be sucked into or stick to the vents on the

bottom of the projector. This projector has some intake vents also on the

bottom.
►Do not place the projector anyplace where it may get wet. Getting the projector
wet or inserting liquid into the projector could cause re, electric shock and/or
malfunction of the projector.

• Do not place the projector in a bathroom or the outdoors.

• Do not place anything containing liquid near the projector.

CAUTION

►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place.
Placing the projector in such places could cause re, electric shock and/or

Connecting your devices

Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector.
Make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product, and
prepare the cables required to connect. Please refer to the following illustrations
to connect them.

PC

Monitor

Speakers

(with an

amplier)

VCR/DVD player

WARNING

►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.

CAUTION

►Do not disassemble or modify the projector and accessories.

►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to
connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may
generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in
malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.
►Use appropriate accessory or designated cables. Ask your dealer about non­accessory cables which may be required a specic length or a ferrite core by
the regulations. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with the
core to the projector.
►Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect
connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

Setting up

Connecting your devices (continued)

•

NOTE

and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product. Before
connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing, and the resolution.

- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.

- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which
are not supported by this projector.

- Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (1600X1200),
the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed.
The best display performance will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and
the projector panel are identical.

• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector ts the port to

connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.

• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s external

RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT
display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the
corresponding laptop PC.

• When the picture resolution is changed on a PC depending on an input, automatic

adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case,
you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on
Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to
use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on

screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input
signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so
the projector may not display a proper picture.

•

The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.

Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector,

About Plug-and-Play capability

Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a PC, its operating system and peripheral
equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B compatible. Plug-and­Play can be used by connecting this projector to a PC that is VESA DDC (display data
channel) compatible.

• Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the COMPUTER IN1

port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of
connection is attempted.

• Please use the standard drivers in your PC as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.

NOTE for HDMI

• The HDMI supports the following signals.

-Video signal : 480i@60,480p@60,576i@50,720p@50/60,1080i@50/60,1080p@50/60

-PC signals : See Operating Guide - Technical

-Audio signal : Format Linear PCM

•

This projector can be connected with another equipment that has HDMI or DVI connector, but

with some equipment the projector may not work properly, something like no video or no audio.

• Be sure to use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo.

•

When the projector is connected with a device having DVI connector, use a DVI to HDMI cable

to connect with the HDMI input and an audio cable to connect with one of the AUDIO input.

Sampling Frequency 48kHz / 44.1kHz / 32kHz

WARNING

incorrect or faulty connections may result in re and/or electrical shock.

• Only use the power cord that came with the projector. If it is damaged, consult
your dealer to get a new one.

• Only plug the power cord into an outlet whose voltage is matched to the power
cord. The power outlet should be close to the projector and easily accessible.
Remove the power cord for complete separation.

• Never modify the power cord.

►Please use extra caution when connecting the power cord, as

directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage,
which could result in re, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

• Be sure to use only the batteries specied. Do not use batteries of different
types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one.

•

Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.

• Keep a battery away from children and pets.

• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.

•

Do not place a battery in a re or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.

• If you observe battery leakage, wipe out the leakage and then replace a battery.
If the leakage adheres to your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.

• Obey the local laws on disposing the battery.

►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range
when the sensor is active:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor)
within 3 meters about.

•

NOTE

If it is difcult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal reect.

• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1

LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.

•

The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun
light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter uorescent
lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of
projector avoiding those lights.

The remote control signal reected in the screen or the like may be available.
