Various Projection Methods
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, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent 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 projector and also damage the
projector.
•
Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•
Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke
from fires or tobacco smoke.
Attention
Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Basic Operations
Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image (Lens Shift)
If the projector cannot be setup in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the image by using lens
shift.
Make adjustments using the lens shift dial.
You can adjust the position up, down, left, and right
within the range of the dotted line shown in the illustration on the right.
The vertical (V) position (up and down) can be adjusted
by up to 96% of the height of the screen, while the horizontal (H) position (right and left) can be adjusted by
up to 47% of the width of the screen.
To reset the image position to the center, return the dial
to the central position.
To locate the center of the lens shift range, turn the lens
shift dial until you hear it click.
Caution
When transporting the projector, return the lens to the central position. If you transport the projector when
the lens is shifted up, down, left, or right, the lens shift mechanism could be damaged.
If keystone distortion occurs when projecting at an angle by using lens shift, you may not be able
c
to correct the distortion completely. When using lens shift, setup the projector so that it is parallel
to the screen, and then only use lens shift to adjust the position.

Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
•
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses immediately if they seem abnormal or a malfunction occurs.
Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause an injury or cause you to feel unwell.
•
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your ears, nose, or temples become red, painful, or itchy.
Continuing to wear the 3D Glasses could cause you to feel unwell.
•
Stop wearing the 3D Glasses if your skin feels unusual when wearing the glasses.
In some very rare cases the paint or materials used in the 3D Glasses could cause an allergic reaction.
Caution
Viewing Time
•
When viewing 3D images, always take periodic breaks during extended viewing.
Long periods of viewing 3D images may cause eye fatigue.
The amount of time and frequency of such breaks varies from person to person. If your eyes still feel tired or
uncomfortable even after taking a break from viewing, stop viewing immediately.
Caution
Watching 3D Images
•
If your eyes feel fatigued or uncomfortable when viewing 3D images, stop viewing immediately.
Continuing to view the 3D images could cause you to feel unwell.
•
When viewing 3D images be sure to always wear 3D Glasses. Do not attempt to view 3D images without 3D
Glasses.
Doing so could cause you to feel unwell.
•
Do not place any breakable or fragile objects around you when using 3D Glasses.
3D images may cause you to move your body involuntarily, resulting in damage to nearby items or personal
injury.
•
Only wear 3D Glasses when viewing 3D images. Do not move around while wearing 3D Glasses.
Your vision may appear darker than normal, causing you to fall or injure yourself.
•
Try to stay as level with the viewing screen as possible when viewing 3D images.
Viewing 3D images at an angle reduces the 3D effect and may cause you to feel unwell due to unintended
color changes.
•
If using 3D Glasses in a room with fluorescent or LED lighting, you may see flashing or flickering throughout
the room. If this should occur, reduce the lighting until the flickering goes away or turn off the lights completely
when viewing 3D images. In some very rare cases, this flickering could trigger seizures or fainting for some
individuals. If you begin to feel uncomfortable or unwell at any time when viewing 3D images, stop
immediately.
•
Stay at least three times the height of the screen away from the screen when viewing 3D images.
The recommended viewing distance for an 80-inch screen is at least 3 meters, and at least 3.6 meters for a
100-inch screen.
Sitting or standing any closer than the recommended viewing distance may result in eye fatigue.

Caution
Health Risks
•
You should not use 3D Glasses if you are sensitive to light, have a heart condition, or are unwell.
Doing so could aggravate your pre-existing conditions.
Caution
Recommended Age of Use
•
The minimum recommended age to view 3D images is six years old.
•
Children under the age of six are still developing and viewing 3D images may cause complications. Consult
your doctor if you have any concerns.
•
Children viewing 3D images through 3D Glasses should always be accompanied by an adult. It is often difficult
to tell when a child is feeling tired or uncomfortable, which could result in them feeling suddenly unwell.
Always check with your child to ensure that they are not experiencing any eye fatigue during viewing.

adapter is securely connected, and then turn on the power
switch.
The WirelessHD cannot communicate with the projector. Check
that the HDMI cable from the AV device is securely connected.
Also, check the range within which the WirelessHD's transceiver
can communicate, and setup within that range.
A temperature warning has occurred. Operations are stopped if
there is not enough ventilation, such as when the device is placed
on an audio rack, or if it is being used in a room with a high
ambient temperature. Wait until it has cooled down, and then
try again.
Communication may not be possible if dust has collected in the
vent. Install the projector so that dust does not collect in the vent.

Troubleshooting
Interference or distortion appear in WirelessHD images
Check Remedy
Are signals being received within the WirelessHD transmission range?
Are there any obstructions between the WirelessHD Transmitter and the projector?
Check the range within which the WirelessHD's transceiver can
s
communicate, and view within that range.
p.58
Because WirelessHD communicates using a tight beamed electromagnetic wave, if there are any people or objects and so on
obstructing the communication path, this could have an adverse
affect on the image. Make sure that there are no obstacles between the WirelessHD Transmitter and the projector within the
s
WirelessHD transmission range.
p.58
Is the reception too low? If the transmissions are not strong enough, communication may
be unstable.
Check Reception as you set up the transmitter as it is sometimes
possible to improve the strength of the transmission by moving
the WirelessHD Transmitter or changing its direction.

Cleaning the Parts
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
Warning
Do not use sprays that contain flammable gas to remove dirt and dust from the projector's lens, air filter,
and so on. The projector may catch fire due to the high internal temperature of the lamp.
Cleaning the air filter
Clean the air filter if dust has accumulated on the air filter or 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. It is recommended that you clean
the air filter at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a
particularly dusty environment.
•
Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.
•
Lightly brush the air filter to clean it. If it is brushed too strongly, dust will be ground into the air filter and
cannot be removed.
