and Slideshow (EB-W8/X8 only).

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Color Mode)

You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected.

Mode Application

Dynamic

Presentation

Theatre

Photo

Sports

sRGB

Ideal for use in a bright room. This is the brightest mode, and reproduces shadow tones well.

Ideal for making presentations using color materials in a bright room.

Ideal for watching films in a dark room. Gives images a natural tone.

Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a bright room. The images are vivid and brought into contrast.

Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright room. The images are vivid and brought to life.

Ideal for images that conform to the sRGB color standard.

Procedure

Remote Control

Each time you press the button, the Color Mode name is displayed on the screen and the Color Mode changes.

If you press the button while the Color Mode name is displayed on the screen, it changes to the next Color Mode.

The color mode can also be set using Color Mode in the Image

menu from the Configuration Menu.s p.49

Blackboard

Whiteboard

*1 Selectable only when RGB signal is input or the Source is set to USB

Display or USB (EB-W8/X8 only).

*2 Selectable only when component video, S-video, or composite video images

are input.

Even if you are projecting onto a Blackboard (greenboard), this setting gives your images a natural tint, just like when projecting onto a screen.

Ideal for making presentations using the whiteboard.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Setting the Auto Iris

By automatically setting the luminance according to the brightness of the displayed image, it lets you enjoy deep and rich images.

Procedure

Press the [Menu] button and select Image - Auto Iris from the Configuration Menu.

p.48

Using the Remote Control Using the Control panel

Select On.

The setting is stored for each Color Mode.

"Using the Configuration Menu"

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)

You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are changing between files during presentations from a computer.

Procedure

Remote Control Body

Press the [Menu] button to close the Configuration Menu.

Auto Iris can be set only when the Color Mode is Dynamic or Theatre.

Each time you press the button, or open/close the lens cover A/V Mute turns on or off.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

• If you use this function when projecting moving images, the images and sound continue to be played back by the source, and you cannot return to the point where A/V Mute was activated.

• When activated from the remote control, you can choose to display Black, Blue, or Logo as the A/V Mute display using the Extended - Display - A/V Mute setting from the Configuration menu.s p.53

• When the A/V mute slide is closed, and no operations are made for approximately 30 minutes, Lens Cover Timer activates and the power is automatically turned off. If you do not want Lens Cover Timer to activate, change the Lens Cover Timer setting to Off from Operation in the Extended menu.s p.53

Freezing the Image (Freeze)

When Freeze is activated on moving images, the frozen image continues to project on the screen, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the Freeze function is activated beforehand.

Procedure

Remote Control

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.

• Audio does not stop.

• The image source continues to play back the moving images

even while the screen is frozen, and so it is not possible to resume projection from the point where it was paused.

• If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the Configuration Menu or a Help screen is displayed, the menu or Help screen being displayed is cleared.

• Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

Appendix

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Installation Methods

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 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.

Attention

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

• Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of the screen. (Front/ Ceiling projection)

• An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the

projector from a ceiling. s p.79

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/ V Mute] button on the Remote Control for about five seconds.

FrontWFront/Ceiling Set Rear or Rear/Ceiling from the Configuration Menu.s p.53

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Attention

Turn off the projector's power before cleaning.

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

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens.

Warning

Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dust and lint from the lens. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.

Attention

Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Air Filter

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."

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.

•

Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter. s p.77

• 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.

Replacing Consumables

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 AA size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.

Caution

Attention

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions before handling the batteries. Safety Instructions

Procedure

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.

Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.

Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

Replacing Consumables

Replacing the Lamp

Lamp replacement period

It is time to replace the Lamp when:

• The message "Replace the lamp." is displayed at the lower left of the projection screen when you start projecting.

• The Lamp indicator flashes orange.

Attention

•

The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.

When Power Consumption is set to Normal: About 3900 hours When Power Consumption is set to ECO: About 4900 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.

•

Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.

•

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 unit ready in case it is needed.

p.52

How to replace the lamp

The Lamp can be replaced even when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

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.

•

Never disassemble or remodel the Lamp. If a remodeled or reassembled Lamp is installed into the projector and used, it could cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident.

Replacing Consumables

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.

Procedure

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Wait until the Lamp has cooled down, then remove the Lamp cover.

Loosen the Lamp cover fixing screw with the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp unit or a + head screwdriver. Then slide the Lamp cover straight forward and lift it to remove.

Loosen the two Lamp fixing screws.

Take out the old Lamp by pulling the handle.

Connecting to an External Monitor (EB-W7/X7/S7 only)

You can display computer images input from Computer Input Port on an external monitor connected to the projector and the screen at the same time. This means that you can check projected images on an external monitor when giving presentations even if you cannot see the screen. Connect using the cable supplied with the external monitor.

• You cannot display images from equipment connected to the component video signal, Video input port, or S-Video input port on the external monitor.

• Setting gauges, Configuration Menu, or Help screens for functions such as Keystone are not output to the external monitor.

• If you want to display images on the external monitor while the projector is in standby mode, set Extended - Standby Mode to Communication On from the Configuration menu.s p.53

Connecting to External Speakers (EB-S8/W7/X7/ S7 only)

You can connect speakers with built-in amplifiers to the projector's Audio Out port to enjoy a fuller quality of sound. Connect with a commercially available audio cable (such as pin plug mini plug and so on). Use an audio cable compatible with the connector on the external speakers.

3.5 mm stereo

• When the audio cable jack is inserted into the Audio Out Port, audio stops being output from the projector's built-in speakers and switches to external output.

• When connecting the speakers, turn down the speakers' volume or turn off the its power, as noise is produced during connection.

• When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".
