Connecting to a Computer

Computers which can be connected

Some computer models may not allow connection, and others may allow connection but not projection. Make sure that the specifications of the computer you are using for connection meet the following two requirements.

[The computer must have a video signal output port]

Make sure that the computer has a port that outputs a video signal. A port that outputs a video signal is called an "RGB port", "monitor port ", or "video port" or the like. Consult the section de scribing "connecti on to an external mo nitor" or th e like in the instruction manual for the computer that you are using, and make sure that the computer has a video signal output port. Computers w ith an integrated monitor and other components as well as laptop computers may require separate purchase of an external output port. In other cases, an external output port cannot be attached.

[The resolution and fre quency of the compute r must be withi n the range of specifications shown on the following page]

The resolution and frequency of the video signal output by your computer must be compatible with your projector in order to allow projection (some computers allow partial projection, but clear projection cannot be obtained). Check the resolution and frequency of the video signal in the instruction manual of the computer you are using for projection.

Compatible Mode Chart for Connectable Computers

If the resolution and frequency of the video signals which are output from the computer do not corres pond to a ny of t he valu es in t he tabl e belo w, tho se vide o signals cannot be projected. (In some cases it may be possible to project such signals, but they will not produce clear images.) Check the instructi on manual for the computer fo r de tails on the resoluti on a nd frequency of the video signals.

Furthermore, some computers may let you change the output resolution. If this is the case, change the resolution to a value in the table below.

Projector Cleaning, Lens Replacement, Air Inlet Cleaning

Clean your projector when it is dirty or image projection is poor. Clean the air inlets every 100 hours in practice.

Warning:

• The projector cabinet should only be opened by trained service personnel. The projector contains several high voltage components which can cause electric shock. For internal checks, repairs and cleaning, contact your dealer or the nearest ad dress provided at “Internat ional Warr anty Conditio ns” in “Safety In structions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms” included in the package.

• Use care when handling the power plug and connector. Improper handling may cause fire or electric shock. When handling the plug, observe the following.

· Do not insert a plug or connector into an ou tlet or port if it is dirty or hol d s for ei gn

matter.

· Insert the plug and connector firmly and completely.

· Do not pull out the plug or connector with wet hands.

Caution:

• Never attempt to remove the lamp immediately after use.

· Heat may cause burns or other injury.

· Wait approximately 60 minutes after switc hing of f power and remo ve the la mp after

the projector has cooled completely.

• When performing operations, pull the pow er p lug an d connector out of the outlet and port respectively.

Switch off power to the projector and disconnect the power cord before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector Unit

•Wipe dirt from the projector lightly with a soft cloth.

•For heavier dirt, wipe the projector lightly with a cloth soaked in a weak solution of mild detergent and wrung out thoroughly, t hen d ry with a separate cloth. Do not use waxes, benzene , thinners, or other volat il e substances. These may degrade the cabinet or strip the finish.

Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens with a commercial blo wer or lens cleaning paper. Th e surface of the lens is easily scratched and should not be rubbed or struck with hard objects.

Cleaning the Air Inlets

Accumula ted dust in the air inlets deg r ades ventilation, increa ses the interi or temperature, and can cause malfunct io n. To prevent debris from entering the air inlets, always stand the projector upright with the lens upward. Then use a vacuum cleane r or other equipment to suck dust from the inlets.

Tip:

If it is no longer possible to remove the dirt from the air inlets, it is time to replace them. Consult your vendor.

Lamp Replacement

Replace the lamp with a new lamp in the following instances. A replacement lamp is an optional pa rt (sold separately). (Model No: ELPLP16)

[When the following message is displayed for 30 seconds after projection begins: "Lamp Replace. After the re placement of the lamp, reset the lamp timer under the direction in the user’s manual."]

A message will be displayed.

[When the problem/alarm display indicator flashes red at 1-second intervals.]

Problem/alarm display indicator flashes red at 1-second intervals

[When brightness or picture quality is inferior to its original st ate.]

Tip:

• If the lamp does not light, replace it even if the lamp life has not expired.

• To maintain the original brightness and picture qua lity, rep lacement messa ges are set for approximately 1,400 hours. If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Though a replacement message appears at approximately 1,400 hours, individual lamp characteristics or usage conditions may cause failure before 1,400 hours, and we recommend that a replacement lamp be kept on hand.

• Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Replacement

Tip:

• Install the lamp securely. For safety, when the lamp cover is opened, the abnormal warning display indica tor flashes re d, and the projecto r lamp goes out. If the lamp or lamp cover is installed improperly, the lamp will not light.

Switch off power to the projector and disconnect the po wer cor d after cool-down ends. Cool-down time varies ac cording to externa l temperature and other factors.

After the projector has cooled comp letely, remove the lamp cover.

•The projector requires approximately 60 minutes to cool completely.

•Press on the 2 catches and pull the cover out diagonally.

Pull the lamp out. Use a screwdriver to loosen the two lam p retaining screws, then grasp the holds and pull the lamp out.

Install a ne w lamp. Align the lamp properly, insert the lamp until it contacts the rear of the housing, and use a screwdriver to tighten the two lamp retaining screws firmly.

Install the lamp cover. Insert the cover diagonally and press it into the projector un til you hea r the ca tches click into place. Check that the catches ar e securely fastened.

Tip:

After lamp replacement, use the About menu to reset lamp time to its initial value (See page 50).
