MULTI PROJECTOR
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.

• 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).
5
• 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.
6
• 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.

CAUTION
Installation location
• Do not install the projector in excessively hot or cold locations. The ambient temperature should be within 0°C to
35°C (32°F to 95°F).
• Position the projector so that the screen does not directly receive sunlight or other light from other lighting.
Otherwise, the projected image becomes white and is difficult to view. In a bright room, use a curtain or other
means to darken the area around the screen.
• Do not install the projector where it will be subject to excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke.
Otherwise, image quality may deteriorate as dirt builds up on the lens, mirrors and other optical components.
• Do not install the projector in a small room with poor air circulation or any place where the air vents may be
blocked. Temperature build-up inside the projector may result in fire or a failure. (Vents are located on the bottom
and right side of the projector.)

Press the

button (or the
compensation).
NOTE
• 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.
