Quick and Easy Set up, Projection, and Storage

Turn the projector

on and

off by simply plugging in or unplugging.

Project onto large

screens

from a short distance.

Make easy height adjustments with one lever.

No cool down delay makes it easy to put away.

Connecting with a USB cable and projecting (USB Display)

By simply connecting a USB cable, you can project images from a computer's screen without a computer cable.

s "Projecting with USB Display" p.32

Horizontal keystone adjuster

This allows you to quickly correct horizontal distortion in the projected image. This is useful if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.

s "Correcting manually" p.37

Detecting projector movements and automatically correcting image distortion

This projector automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion which occurs when positioning or moving the projector.

s "Correcting automatically" p.36

Useful Functions for Projecting Images

Project two images simultaneously (Split Screen)

This function divides the projected screen in two and projects two types of image side-by- side. By simultaneously projecting images from two sources on one screen, you can raise the impact of your message or proposition during video conferences or presentations.

s "Projecting Two Images Simultaneously (Split Screen) " p.49

Replacing the remote control batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.

Attention

Make sure you read the following manual before handling the batteries.

s Safety Instructions

Warning

A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

If you use adhesives on the Ceiling mount fixing points to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.

When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

Do not cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen. (Front/Ceil ing projection)

Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen.

(Rear/Ceiling projection)

Attention

Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

aAn optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

s "Optional Accessories" p.128

The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.

s Extended - Projection p.91

You can change the Projection mode as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

Installation methods

Install the projector as follows.

Installing the Projector

 

21

 

 

 

Install the projector so

that it

is parallel

to the screen.

If the projector is installed at an angle to

the screen, keystone distortion

occurs in the projected

image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place the projector on a level surface.

If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.

aSee the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.

s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36

See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.40 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.36

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB(TypeA) port on the projector.

When the USB device is connected, you can project files on the USB memory or digital camera using Slideshow. s "Slideshow examples" p.53

Attention

If you

use a USB hub, the connection may not operate

correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB devices should be connected to the projector directly.

When

connecting and using

a USB-compatible hard disk, make sure you connect the AC adaptor supplied with the hard disk.

Connect a digital camera or

hard disk to the projector

using a USB cable supplied with or specified for use with the device.

Use a

USB cable less than 3

m in length. If the cable
