User’s Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Nippon Avionics MP-700 Multi Projector. Please read this manual carefully in order to use the projector properly. After reading this, please keep it in a safe place together with the warranty sheet.

● Features

• Three handy features in a single body. The projector for the multimedia age

1. Documents, catalogs and other printed matter can be projected directly from the scanner. This frees the user from the need to make OHP film inserts for each document.

2. Personal computer screens can be projected. This allows the user to make detailed presentations using information on a personal computer.

3. Videos and DVD images can be projected as they are. This aids the user in making visually appealing presentations.

• Easy-to-understand and simple operation

Projection of printed matter, personal computer screens and video images can be selected at the push of a button.

• High cost effective resource-saving design

OHP film inserts no longer need to be made, which saves wasted time and expense.

• Expressive color images

The projector is equipped with a high-resolution 2 million pixel single-array color CCD camera. This allows subtle midtones in color documents to be reproduced faithfully and sharp as projected images in full color (16,770,000 colors).

• Enlarged display without changing the size of the projected image

When projecting documents such as catalogs and word-processor documents containing small text that have not been made specially for presentations, the document can be enlarged without changing the size of the projected image for easier viewing.

• Provided with display functions for compressed or enlarged PC screen

Screens of resolution more than 1024 x 768 dots are displayed compressed to 1024 x 768 dots without any loss in character quality. Such as 640 x 480 resolution screens can also be enlarged to 1024 x 768 dots.

• Provided with a CF (CompactFlash

Store OHP images on the CF card and read OHP images from the CF card to be projected.

• Do not bump the glass surface

• Do not bump the glass surface over the scanner. Doing so may break the glass, resulting in injury.

• Do not touch the air vents or lamp cover

• The air vents, lamp cover, and peripheral surfaces may be hot during operation or just after the light is turned off. Do not touch those for a long time.

• Do not block the lens front

• Do not block the lens front during operation. The powerful rays passing through the lens may cause fire or burns if you put anything in front of the lens or block the lens with your hand during operation.

CAUTION

• Installation

•Avoid installing the projector in places where it may be exposed to:

- Strong vibrations

- Soot or steam

- Direct sunlight or near a heater (35˚C/95˚F or higher)

- High humidity or dust

- Extreme cold (0˚C/32˚F or lower)

- Strong magnetic or electric field generated from a nearby appliance

-Wobbling on an unstable surface

• Do not block the air vents.

• Do not block the air vents with cloth or an object. When you put anything around the unit, be sure to ensure a space of 10 cm/4 inches or more between the unit and the air vent. Be sure to prevent paper or cloth from blocking the air vent at the bottom of the unit. If blocked, the internal temperature may increase, resulting in malfunctions.

• Do not bump the projector.

•Avoid bumping the projector when moving or handling. Shocks can cause damage.

• Care of the projector

•To prevent risk of accidents, always pull out the power plug before cleaning

the projector.

• Clean the lens surface with a commercial blower or lens cleaning paper.

Wiping with tissue paper or a handkerchief can damage the lens.

•To clean the cabinet, operation panel, and glass surface, wipe gently with a

soft cloth. For particularly dirty spots, soak the cloth in a neutral detergent mixed in water, wring out well and wipe off the dirt, then use a dry cloth to wipe dry.

• Do not wipe the projector with any volatile solvent such as benzine or thinner.

Solvents can cause surface deformation or flaking of the paint. If using an impregnated cloth, follow the instructions.

• Avoid scratching the glass surface.

•Take care not to scratch the glass surface of the scanner with hard or pointed

objects. Scratches on the glass may distort the projected image.

• Batteries

• When inserting batteries in the remote control, note the polarity (plus and

minus signs) and insert correctly as indicated. Inserting a battery in a wrong direction can cause rupture or leakage, and could result in fire and injury or soil the surrounding area.

• Do not use batteries other than the type specified for the equipment. Do not

use a new battery and an old battery together. Incorrect battery usage could result in rupture or leakage, and could cause fire and injury.

• Do not heat, break open, burn, or immerse the batteries. Battery rupture or

leakage could cause fire and injury.

• Servicing and cleaning

• Have the internal components cleaned by a retailer about once a year. There

is a risk of fire or faulty operation if the inside of the projector gets dusty and is not cleaned for a long time. For best results, the projector should be serviced before the wet season brings damp conditions. Cleaning charges are at the discretion of the retailer.

• If not using the projector for a long period:

• If you do not plan to use the projector for a long time, pull out the power plug

for safety.

• Disposal

• Follow the recommendations of your local authority when disposing of the

projector.

• Transporting the projector

• Use the special packaging when transporting the projector. The manufac-

turer. cannot accept responsibility in the event of damage or accident if other packaging is used.

• Use the special packaging no more than two times. Repeated usage reduces

the shock absorbency of the packaging and can lead to damage or accident.

• Contact the retailer if you require new packaging.

• Lamp implosion

• An AC type New Super High pressure lamp is used in this projector and it is

rare for the lamp to explode during use. The lamp is also designed to forcibly turn off because there is a high possibility that the lamp breaks if it is used beyond the lamp usage of 1500 hours (Refer to pages 64 and 65).

• Note the following things

•A noise occurs because the internal pressure of the New Super High pressure lamp gets extremely high. The unit is designed so that no pieces of glass come out of it when the lamp explodes.

• However, the gas inside of the lamp can escape and looks like white smoke. It will not cause any fire.

• Remedy

• If a lamp explodes in a product, there will be pieces of lamp inside. Do not replace the lamp. Return the product to the sales office or agent of purchase. Even though the lamp has exploded, never try to replace the lamp by yourself. The lamp pieces may cause injury.

• Replacing the lamp

• Be sure to turn the lamp off and disconnect the power cord when the fan stops, and wait an hour or more before replacing the lamp. Replacing the lamp during operation or just after the power is turned off may cause burns due to heat. Refer to “Lamp Unit Replacement” on page 64 for the procedure.

• Replacing / cleaning the air filter

• Be sure to pull out the power plug when the cooling fan stops before removing the air filter. Removing the air filter while the cooling fan is rotating could cause a burn injury. Refer to “Cleaning the Air Filter” on page 66 for the procedure.

• Avoiding malfunctions and accidents

• Adjust the Adjustable feet to keep the projector horizontal. Using the projector in a tilted status could cause injury when it turns over. Refer to “Adjusting the Tilt” on page 18 or the adjusting procedure.

• Do not disassemble the manganese batteries

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or burn the manganese batteries. Doing so could cause the batteries to generate heat or explode due to the leaked solution, resulting in fire, injury, or damages to the surrounding area.

• Do not do the followings

• Do not put anything heavy on the projector.

• Do not step on the projector, rack, or stand. Do not hold or hang on the projector. Doing so could cause the projector to turn over or break, resulting in injury. Especially be careful if small kids are near.

• Do not use the rack unless the casters are locked when placing the projector on a rack with casters. Doing so may cause the projector to move or turn over, resulting in injury.

• Do not turn the lamp on/off within one minute after it is turned off/on. Extremely high voltage is generated in the lamp just after it is turned on. Turning the lamp on/off too frequently could cause the lamp to deteriorate or break, resulting in malfunctions of the projector.

• Do not project an image with the lens cap attached.

• Moving the projector

• Be sure careful of the glass surface when moving the projector while holding the handles with both hands.

• If not inserted fully, the material cover may get loose and fall off while you carry it.

• Care of the power cord and plug

• Do not put the power cord near a heater.

Doing so could cause the sheath of the cable to melt down, resulting in fire or electric shock.

• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands. Doing so could

cause electric shock.

• Be sure to pull out the power cord and disconnect any cable connections

between units and release the anti-theft lock before moving the projector. Moving the projector with cables connected may cause fire or electric shock if the cables are damaged.

• If you do not plan to use the projector for a long time, disconnect the power

cord for safety.

• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and two lamp unit screws. You could receive an electric shock.

• When keystone compensation is performed, the resolution at the edges of the projected image is reduced, making

small characters difficult to read. To prevent this, place the projector on as level a surface as possible, and set the Keystone menu to “0” (No compensation).

• As image processing is performed for keystone compensation, displayed images (characters, etc.) are displayed

slightly blurred when keystone compensation is used compared with when it is not used.

• When displaying an image with VGA resolution less than 640 x 480 pixels with a excessive horizontal keystone

compensation may cause parts of the image to become fuzzy. See page 26 for more information.

• The degree to which keystone compensation can be adjusted depends on the image signal.

• If the horizontal value is adjusted to its largest (or smallest) the vertical adjustment value can not be moved in the plus

direction when doing keystone compensation.

CAUTION

Cautions on Connection

• Before connecting other devices, turn off each device to protect the projector and other connected devices.

• For details of how to connect and use devices connected to the projector, refer to the User’s Manual for each device.

• Sometimes images are not displayed on the screen properly when they are displayed on a notebook PC LCD as well. If this happens, turn the notebook PC display off to remedy this. The method for turning off a notebook PC display varies according to the notebook PC manufacturer. For details, refer to the User’s Manual of the notebook PC.

•You may not be able to connect the projector depending on the model of personal computer and personal computer settings. Consult your dealer for details.

When Images on the Personal Computer Screen are not Projected

Check the following when images on the personal computer screen are not projected or projected images are incorrect.

● When images are not projected

When external output signals are input to the MP-700 from the PC, “No PC signal” is displayed on the screen. When this is displayed, check the following.

1 Try restarting the personal computer.

The MP-700 is sometimes not recognized by the PC if it is connected after the PC is started up. If this happens, images are not projected as external output signals are not output from the PC.

2 Check the functions on the personal computer.

Some notebook PCs require a special operation to transmit the signals from the external output terminal. The external output signals may not be transmitted from the notebook PC unless the operation is performed. Refer to the manuals of your notebook PC for the information about how to output signals from the external output terminal.

● Images are not projected correctly even though they are displayed normally

on the notebook PC screen

1 Verify the functions of the notebook PC.

Even if the LCD screen of a notebook PC displays normal images, the projected images may be displayed incorrectly. In most cases, because of the limitations of the notebook PC, the simultaneous display function (the external output signals are sent out simultaneously while the images are displayed on the PC screen) produces signals, which do not satisfy the standard specification and are outside the range supported by the projector. In this case, the incorrect display images can not be corrected even if the fine adjustments are made at the projector side. The correct images may be projected if only external output signals are provided without using the simultaneous display. Refer to the user’s manual of your notebook PC for details.

■ Input Signal Compatibility Table (PC video input terminal)

The MP-700 supports the signals marked by ● in the following table. Note that on some PC models, flickering and blurring occur in the projected image. If this happens, adjust the projected image in the Sync Adjustment menu.

If the CF Card that has been inserted has multiple directories, then the directory with the largest number “XXX” in the directory name “XXXAVMPJ” is called the “Current directory.” * The directory that is standard when listing slides or saving OHP images is called the “Current

directory.”

OHP images are saved in the current directory when saving OHP images. Move the directory in the slide list screen to change the current directory.

Files in the current directory are displayed as thumbnails according to their names.

Description

Maintenance

■ Fault Protection

Your projector is provided with internal protection circuits for preventing fire and damage to internal components due to abnormal temperature.

● When the LAMP/COVER LED is blinking:

❍ Action

1. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

2. Correctly install the air filter. For details, see “Cleaning the Air Filter” on page 66.

3. Correctly install the lamp unit cover. For details, see “Lamp Unit Replacement” on page 64.

● When the temperature LED is blinking or on.

❍ Action

1. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

2. Check the following and take corrective actions.

Is the ambient temperature more than 35°C(95°F)?

Are any vent holes blocked?

Is the air filter clogged?

A probable cause is an internal circuit problem.

* When the TEMP LED is OFF, your projector is working properly. * Replace the lamp at the same time when the LAMP/COVER LED is on.

For details on how to replace the lamp, see page 64.

*A blinking TEMP LED is a warning that the temperature is too high. If the operating

environment improves within 10 seconds after the LED starts blinking, the warning will stop. (When the TEMP LED goes out, normal operation continues.) If the TEMP LED blinks for more than 10 seconds and the operating status does not change, the LED stops blinking and stays on and the lamp turns off.

Use your projector within an ambient temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F).

Place your projector away from walls and other objects. See “Do not block the air vents” on page 4.

Clean the air filter. See “Cleaning the Air Filter” on page 66.

Ask your dealer for repair.

● When the power fails (all LEDs are off when the power is turned ON)

❍ Action

1.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

2.Check the following and take corrective actions.

A probable cause is an internal circuit problem.

Use your projector within an ambient temperature of 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F).

Place your projector away from walls and other objects. See “Do not block the air vents” on page 4.

Call qualified service personnel.

■ Lamp Unit Replacement

The target replacement time of the lamp used on this projector is 1400 hours. (This may be shortened depending on the conditions of use.) Since there is a high possibility of lamp explosion if the cumulative usage time exceeds more than 1500 hours, the power to the lamp is cut off at 1500 hours.In the following instances where the cumulative usage time of the lamp is more than 1400 hours, replace the lamp unit (sold separately). When the projected image becomes dark or projected colors are unsatisfactory, the lamp has reached the end of its life. In this case, replace the lamp unit.

● When the message shown below is displayed while the lamp is on (This appears when the cumulative usage time of the lamp is more than 1400 hours.)

Lamp usage 1400 hours. Replace the lamp.

● When “Lamp usage time” on the menu display has reached 1400 hours, the LAMP/ COVER LED blinks. The lamp usage time is displayed in the “Setting 1” menu for confirmation. (For details, see page 46.)

● When the LAMP/COVER LED is on without the lamp lighting. (When the cumulative usage time of the lamp is more than 1500 hours.)

WARNING

• Do not replace the lamp unit immediately after you have turned the projector off. The lamp becomes very hot and may cause a burn injury. Turn off the lamp, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, and then wait at least one hour before replacing the lamp.

• Do not touch the lamp with your hands. This may result in reduced brightness or reduced lamp life.

• This projector contains many glass components (e.g. a lamp and mirrors). If these glass components break, handle them with care to prevent personal injury from glass fragments. Contact your dealer or a Nippon Avionics service center for repair.

CAUTION

• This lamp unit is not compatible with the lamp unit for MP Series (MP-10, MP-100, MP-150, MP-200, MP-250, MP-300, MP-400, and MP-450). Specify the exclusive lamp unit (model No.: MPLK-D4K).

CAUTION

Be sure to reset the lamp usage time after replacing the lamp. Otherwise, the correct usage time cannot be known. When the display exceeds 1500 hours, the power to the lamp is forcibly turned off regardless of the lamp’s life.

NOTE

• As a safety precaution, your projector does not turn on unless the lamp unit cover is installed.

• The lamp unit sold separately comes with an air filter as part of the lamp kit. When replacing the lamp unit, be sure to replace the air filter as well. (See page 66.)

• The lamp can be disposed as a regular household fluorescent light, follow the disposal procedure recommended by the local government.

■ Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is an important part as it keeps the optical components inside your projector free from dirt and dust. A clogged air filter can cause the temperature to rise inside your projector and the fan speed to increase. This, in turn, may reduce lamp life or cause the projector to malfunction. The air filter should be cleaned regularly (about once a month if the projector is used four hours a day). Replace with a new air filter if it is difficult to remove dust and dirt from the air filter.

Procedure

1 Remove the air filter.

Lift up the air filter while pressing in the claw to remove it.

2 Vacuum the sponge to take off dust.

Vacuum the outside surface of the sponge as shown in the illustration.

3 Mount the air filter.

Follow step 1 in reverse order. Press it in until you hear a “click” sound.

CAUTION

Caring for the Air Filter and Cautions

• Do not wash the air filter with water or other liquids. This may cause the filter to clog.

• Do not wipe the air filter with a cloth or a wet rag as this, too, may cause the filter to clog.

• Always vacuum from the outside of the air filter. If you vacuum from the inside of the air filter, this will reduce the effectiveness of the air filter.

• Do not forget to install the air filter. If the projector is left without the air filter installed, dust may enter the projector and cause dirty projected images.

• When the air filter becomes damaged, be sure to replace it with a new one (sold separately). If the projector is used with the air filter damaged, dust may enter the projector and cause dirty projected images.

NOTE

The lamp will not light unless the air filter is mounted.

• Are you using the attached CF card or an identical product? Some

CF cards can not be used depending on the manufacturer or the

type of CF card.

•Verify that the CF card is inserted properly.

•Verify whether the CF card file system is corrupted.

•Verify whether the CF card has been formatted.

•Verify that the CF card is inserted properly.

• Is there enough available memory on the CF card? A message

card file system may be easily damaged if it is removed while being

accessed, do not remove the card while it is being accessed.

• Has the file number exceeded the maximum of 9,999? If the file

number in the current directory exceeds the maximum of 9,999,

then a directory is made and assigned the number immediately

following the very last directory. The current directory is moved to

this directory, and the OHP images are saved in that directory.

•Was the current directory moved before you saved the images? The

current directory switches to the directory in the new location and

OHP images are saved in this new directory.

•Verify whether the CF card file system is corrupted.

•You can not delete the directory.
