Attention

•

Power off the equipment before connecting. Connecting while it is powered on may cause malfunctions to occur.

•

When connecting, check the cable's connector shape with the shape of the port. Inserting a connector with a different orientation or shape by force may cause malfunctions to occur or may damage the equipment.

• Use an HDMI cable that conforms to HDMI standard.

• Depending on the equipment you are connecting to, the connecter shape may be specific to that equipment. In such a case, use the cable that was supplied with the equipment or is available as an optional accessory for that equipment.

• The cable used to connect to the projector will vary according to the video signal output from the video equipment. Some video equipment can output several different types of video signals. In general, the following are video signals in the order of image quality, from best quality to lesser quality.

Component video > S-video > Composite video Check your video equipment's documentation to see which video

signals it can output. Composite video may also be simply called "Video out".

For information on optional accessories, see s "Optional Accessories and Consumables" p.61.

Useful Functions

This chapter explains useful tips for projection, and the Security functions.

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.61

• 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.35

• 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.59

• 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.

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.

Caution

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.33

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

Refresh Rate

The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.

A 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).

Video 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.

The 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.

A 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.

An abbreviation of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, which refers to a copyright protection technology that prevents illegal copying by encrypting the digital signals sent and received via HDMI port. Because the HDMI input port on this projector supports HDCP, it can project digital images protected by HDCP technology, However, if the HDCP standard changes, it may not be possible to project digital images protected by the changed standard.

An 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 =

• Screen

A 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.

A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image.

The 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).

A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) ^ 1,024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

The 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.

The 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.
