The projector has the following enhanced security functions.
• Password protect
You can limit who can use the projector.
• Control Panel Lock
You can prevent people from changing the settings on the projector
without permission.
• Anti-Theft Lock
The projector is equipped with various types of anti-theft security
devices.
Managing Users (Password Protect)
When the Password Protect function is activated, people who do not know
the password cannot use the projector to project images even if the
projector power is on. Furthermore, the user's logo that is displayed when
you turn on the projector cannot be changed. This acts as an anti-theft
device as the projector cannot be used even if it is stolen. At the time of
purchase the Password Protect function is not activated.
f Type of Password Protect
The following two kinds of password protect settings can be made
according to how the projector is being used.
1. "Power On Protect"
When "Power On Protect" is "On", the password must be entered
whenever the projector is turned on after it has been disconnected from
the power supply to which it was connected the last time the password
was entered. If the correct password is not entered, projection does not
start.
2."User's Logo Protect"
Even if someone tries to change the user's logo set by the owner of the
projector, it cannot be changed. When "User's Logo Protect" is set to
"On" the following setting changes are prohibited.
• Capturing a user's logo
• Changing settings of "Display Background", "Startup Screen", and
"A/V Mute" in the "Display" setting in the configuration menu.
f Setting Password Protect
Use the following procedure to set Password Protect.

CheckRemedy
Is the remote control light-emitting area pointing towards the
remote receiver on the projector when it is operated?
Is the remote control too far from the projector?The operating range for the remote control is about 6 m.
Is direct sunlight or strong light from fluorescent lamps
shining onto the remote receiver?
Are the batteries dead or have the batteries been inserted
correctly?
Was a remote control button pressed for more than 30
seconds?
Point the remote control towards the remote receiver.
The operating angle for the remote control is about 30° horizontally, and about 15° vertically.
Set the projector up in a location where strong light does not shine onto the remote receiver.
Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly or replace the batteries with new ones if necessary. s p.66
If any of the buttons on the remote control are pressed down for more than 30 seconds, the remote control
stops sending signals (remote control's sleep mode). When the button is released, normal remote control
operation resumes. This can prevent the batteries from running down accidentally because Sleep Mode
operates when the remote control is stored in a bag or if an object is placed on top of it.

Appendices
This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the
projector for a long time to come.
The projector supports the following four different projection methods.
Install according to the conditions of the installation location.
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 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.
Attention
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to
occur.
• Suspend the projector from
the ceiling and project images
from front of the screen.
(Front/Ceiling projection)
• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending
q
the projector from a ceiling.
• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the

Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of
projected images starts to deteriorate.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water
containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the
cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to
clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or
become discolored.
Cleaning the Lens
65
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature
of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation
and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter
immediately when the message is displayed.
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the
lens.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent
Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is
displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent,
and clean or replace the air filter" s "How to replace the air filter" p.71
q
• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it
is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air
s
filter.
• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once
every three months. Clean them more often than this if
using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
p.71
Replacing Consumables
66
This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the
lamp, and the air filter.
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 spare AA-size alkaline or manganese dry batteries
ready to use. You can only use AA-size alkaline or manganese dry
batteries.
Attention
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/Support and Service
Guide before handling the batteries.
Procedure
A
Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the battery cover catch, lift the cover up.
s
Safety Instructions
B
Replace the old batteries with new batteries.
Caution
Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery

Attention
• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following
time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality
s
of the projected images.
- When used continually at high brightness: About 2900 hours
- When used continually at low brightness: About 3900 hours
• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has
passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When
the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a
new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has
been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before
the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a
spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
"Brightness Control" p.43

f How to replace the lamp
Warning
When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there
is a possibility that the lamp may be broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the
ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you
should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it.
Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out
when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your eyes
or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
Caution
Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing
the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may
result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off
for the lamp to be cool enough.

Glossary
This section briefly explains terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details,
refer to other commercially available publications.
Aspect ratioThe width-to-height ratio of a projected image or screen. When the width-to-height ratio is 16:9 or 16:10, the elongated screen is known
as wide-screen. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.
Component VideoA video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.
Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (color difference signals).
Composite videoVideo signals that have the video brightness signals and color signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household
video equipment (NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats). The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (color) signal that are
contained in the color bar are overlapped to form a single signal.
ContrastThe relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more
clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".
Dolby DigitalA sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-
channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a center speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer.
HDTVAn abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
• Vertical resolution of 720p or 1080i or greater (p = progressive
• Screen aspect ratio
Dolby Digital
InterlaceA method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting from left
to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.
ProgressiveA method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single
image.
Refresh rateThe light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image
must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTVAn abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for
HDTV
Squeeze modeIn this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording
medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.
sRGBAn international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled
easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the
connected signal source to sRGB.
SVGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ^ 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
S-VideoA video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated to provide better image quality.
Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (color signal).

Glossary
SXGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ^ 1024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
SynchronizationThe signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in
the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.
TrackingThe signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called
Tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal.
VGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) ^ 480 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
XGAA type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) ^ 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

ESC/VP21 Commands
100
Command List
The ESC and VP21 commands are commands sent from the computer to
control the projector.
When the power ON command is transmitted to the projector, the power
turns on and it enters warm-up mode. When the projector's power has
turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) is returned.
When a command is input, the projector executes the command and
returns a ":", and then accepts the next command.
If the command being processed terminates due to a problem, an error
message is output and a ":" is returned.
