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

Caution

a	Remove the battery cover.	Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to
	While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover	ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.

ing projection)	(Rear/Ceiling projection)

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.

Attention

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

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

s "Optional Accessories" p.129

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

s Extended - Projection p.85

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

FrontWFront/Ceiling RearWRear/Ceiling

Installation methods

Install the projector as follows.

Installing the Projector		22

• 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.

a• See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the screen.

s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.37

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

s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.41 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.37

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the projection distance.

s "Screen Size and Projection Distance" p.130

aWhen you correct keystone distortion, the projected image may be reduced.

Connecting Equipment		23

The port name, location, and connector orientation differ depending on the source being connected.

Connecting a Computer

To project images from a computer, connect the computer using one of the following methods.

AWhen using the supplied computer cable

Connect the computer's display output port to the projector's Computer port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the computer to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.

BWhen using the supplied or commercially available USB cable

Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's USB-B port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.

CWhen using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the HDMI port on the computer to the projector's HDMI/MHL port. You can send the computer's audio with the projected image.

aYou can use a USB cable to connect the projector to a computer to project images from the computer. This function is called USB Display. s "Projecting with USB Display" p.33

Connecting Equipment		24

Connecting a Smartphone or Tablet Device

You can connect smartphones and tablet devices. By using a commercially available MHL cable, you can connect the MHL port on your device to the HDMI/MHL port on the projector. You can send the audio with the projected image.

When you connect a smartphone or tablet device to the projector, the device starts charging when images are projected.

Attention

• You may not be able to connect an MHL cable to all devices.

•Make sure the connection cable supports the MHL standards. If you connect a cable that does not support the MHL standards, the smartphone or tablet device may become hot, leak, or explode.

•If you connect using an MHL-HDMI conversion adapter, charging the smartphone or tablet device may not work or you may not be able to perform operations from the projector's remote control.

a	•	If images	are	not projected correctly, disconnect and then reconnect the MHL cable.
	•	You may	not	be able to project correctly depending on the model and settings of the smartphone or tablet device.

Connecting Equipment		25

Connecting Image Sources

To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the following methods.

AWhen using a commercially available video or S-video cable

Connect the video output port on the image source to the projector's Video port. Or, connect the S-video output port on the image source to the projector's S-Video port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.

BWhen using the optional component video cable s "Optional Accessories" p.129

Connect the component output port on the image source to the projector's Computer input port. You can output audio from the projector's speaker by connecting the audio output port on the image source to the projector's Audio port using a commercially available audio cable.

CWhen using a commercially available HDMI cable

Connect the HDMI port on the image source to the projector's HDMI/MHL port. You can send the image source's audio with the projected image.

Connecting Equipment		26

Attention

• Turn	off the equipment you want to connect before connecting. If the input source is on when you connect it		to the projector, it could cause a malfunction.
• If the orientation or shape of the plug differs, do not try to force it in. The device could be damaged or		could	malfunction.
a	• If the source you want to connect to has an unusually shaped port, use the cable supplied with the	device or an optional cable to connect to the projectors.
	• When using a commercially available 2RCA(L/R)/stereo mini-pin audio cable, make sure it is labeled "No resistance".

Connecting USB Devices

You can connect devices such as the optional Document Camera, a USB flash drive, and USB compatible hard disks and digital cameras. Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB-A port on the projector.

When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB flash drive or digital camera using PC Free. s "PC Free examples" p.51

Connecting Equipment		27

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 three		meters in length. If the cable	exceeds three meters, PC	Free may not function correctly.

Removing USB devices

After finishing projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices such as digital cameras or hard disks, turn off the device and then remove it from the projector.

Connecting Equipment		28

Installing the Wireless LAN Unit
