Features of the Projector

Automatic keystone correction function

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. (p.34)

Automatic setup function

When projecting computer images, the signals from the connected computer are detected automatically and adjusted so that the optimum images are projected. Even if several people are giving presentations using the same projector, the optimum picture quality can be obtained simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the computers. Each individual setting can also be adjusted manually. (p.37)

Color mode function

The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six preset settings according to the projection environment being used. No other troublesome colour adjustments are necessary. (p.40, 47, 49)

• sRGB • Normal • Meeting

• Presentation • Theatre • Game

Compact and lightweight

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of a B5 page (19 (D) x 27.6 (W) x 7 (H) cm (7.5 (D) x 10.9 (w) x 2.8 (H))) and is light in weight (approximately 1.9 kg. (4.2 lbs)), making it easy to carry.

Brilliant, attractive images

Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright environments.

Easy to Operate

The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (see "Freeze" on p.43) and zooming in on important areas of an image (see "E-Zoom" on p.45). In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection (see "Wireless Mouse Function" on p.21). If using the wireless mouse function, you can use the remote control to scroll back and forth through pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.

Tip :

• The projector's lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.16. The image size at the maximum zoom setting is about 1.16 times bigger than the image size at the minimum zoom setting.

• The image size will be reduced when keystone correction is carried out.

Connecting to a Computer

Caution :

When connecting the projector to a computer, be sure to check the following.

• Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.

• Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, damage to the connector or port may result.

Eligible Computers

The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.

• Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.

Check that the computer has a port such as an "RGB port", "monitor port" or "CRT port" which can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.

• Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be

listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See "Appendices: List of Supported Monitor Displays"(p.88).

Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if necessary, change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays", while referring to the documentation provided with the computer.

Tip :

• You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the shape of the computer's port. Refer to the documentation provided with the computer for further details.

• If the computer and projector are too far away from each other for the accessory computer cable to reach, use the optional VGA-HD15 PC cable. See "Appendices: Optional Accessories" (p.82)

Projecting Images from the Computer

The shape and specifications of the computer's monitor port will determine what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type of port your computer has.

Adjusting the Screen Image

You can correct and adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible picture.

Adjusting the Image Size

The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. (p.15) The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the projector itself has been set up.

Tip :

The E-Zoom function lets you enlarge parts of the image. (p.45)

Procedure

Turn the zoom ring on the projector to adjust the image.

The image can be enlarged in this way to 1.16 times the normal size.

If you would like to enlarge the image further, move the projector further away from the screen. (p.15)

Turn to "T" to reduce the size

Adjusting the Image Angle and Automatic Keystone Correction Function

The projector should be set up so that it is as perpendicular to the screen as possible.

Seen from the side Seen from above

Centre of

lens

If it is not possible to set up the projector so that it is perpendicular to the screen, it can be set up at a slight vertical angle instead. You can extend or retract the front adjustable feet to adjust the projection angle within a maximum range of 11º.

When the projector is tilted, it will cause keystone distortion to appear in the image. The projector is equipped with automatic keystone correction function that can automatically correct this keystone distortion as long as the vertical angle of tilt is within a range of approximately 15º*. Automatic keystone correction is carried out approximately one minute after the projector's power has been turned on and the projector has been positioned.

Approx. 15º above Approx. 15º below

15º

* This value applies when the zoom ring is turned to the maximum "T" setting.

If the zoom ring is turned to the "W" setting, the available angle of tilt for automatic adjustment will become smaller.

Tip :

• Automatic keystone correction is not carried out when the "Rear" or "Ceiling" commands in the "Advanced" menu are set to "ON".

• If you would like to make further adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, you can use the [keystone] button on the projector's control panel. (p.36)

Procedure

While pressing the two foot adjust buttons at either side, lift up the front of the projector so that the front adjustable feet can extend.

Extend the front adjustable feet until the desired angle is obtained, and then release the foot adjust buttons. To retract the front adjustable feet, gently push down on the projector while pressing the two foot adjust buttons.

Tip :

• If the projector is tilted horizontally, turn the bases of the front adjustable feet to adjust the angle.

• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.

• If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting. (p.47, 48)

• If automatic keystone correction is not required, set "Auto Keystone" in the "Setting" menu to "OFF". (p.51)

Adjusting the Screen Image

Manually Correcting Keystone Distortion

The projector is provided with an automatic keystone correction function which detects the vertical angle of the projector and carries out keystone correction automatically. If further correction adjustment is required after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, use the [Keystone] buttons on the projector's control panel to make the adjustment.

Procedure

Tip :

• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.

• If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness setting. (p.47, 48)

• Keystone correction can also be carried out using the configuration menu. (p.50, 51)

• If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector has not been set up at an angle which exceeds the proper limit.

Adjusting the Image Quality

The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows.

Focusing the Screen Image

Procedure

Turn the focus ring to adjust the image focus.

Turn the focus ring of the projector until the projected images are in proper focus.

Focus ring

Tip :

• If the surface of the lens is dirty or misted over as a result of condensation, it may not be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If this happens, clean or de-mist the lens. (p.66, 72)

• If the projector is positioned outside the normal projecting range of 1.0–11.7 m (3.2–

38.5 ft.), it may not be possible to obtain the correct focus. If you have trouble obtaining the correct focus, check the projection distance.

Adjusting Computer Images

Automatic Setup

Automatic setup detects the status of the signals coming from the connected computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum images can be obtained. It involves adjustment of the following three items: Tracking

Tip :

• If "Auto Setup" in the "Video" menu is set to "OFF" (the default setting for this item is "ON"), automatic setup is not carried out. If you press the [Auto] button on the remote control while computer signals are being projected, adjustment will then be carried out.

Problem with lamp

The lamp will turn off automatically and projection will stop. Wait for about 5 minutes without operating the projector. After about 5 minutes have elapsed, unplug the power cable and then check the following two points.

• Check that the air inlet and air outlet are clear, and that the projector is not positioned against a wall.

• If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.

When the power cable is plugged back in, the projector will return to its previous state, so press the [Power] button on either the projector's control panel or the remote control to turn it back on. If the projector continues to overheat even after the above points have been checked, or if the indicators show a problem when the power is turned back on, stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address provided at "International Warranty Conditions" in Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms.

Disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet and then remove the lamp and check if it is broken. If the lamp is not broken, reinstall it. Then reconnect the power cable and press the [Power] button on either the projector's control panel or the remote control to turn the power back on. If the indicators still show a problem, stop using the projector, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address provided at "International Warranty Conditions" in Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms.

If the lamp is broken replace by a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advise. If replacing the lamp yourself, be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass. (Projection cannot be carried out until the lamp is replaced.)

Maintenance

This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.

Cleaning

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

Caution :

Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before cleaning.

Cleaning the Projector Case

Clean the projector case 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 case. Then wipe the case again with a soft, dry cloth.

Caution :

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector case. These can cause the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.

Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.

Caution :

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

Cleaning the Air Filter

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and damage the projector. While keeping the projector horizontal, use a vacuum cleaner to clean away the dust from the air filter.

Tip :

• If the air filter is difficult to clean or if it is broken, it should be replaced. Contact your dealer for a spare air filter.

• Spare lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced when the lamp is replaced.

Maintenance

Replacing Consumables

This section describes how to replace the remote control battery, the lamp and the air filter.

Inserting the Battery

Use the following type of battery as a replacement. 1 CR2025 lithium battery

Caution :

Be sure to read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the battery.

Procedure

Remove the battery holder.

While pushing the catch of the battery holder inwards, pull the battery holder out.

Catch

Remove the old battery and insert

the new battery.

Check the position of the (+) mark inside the battery holder to ensure that that battery is inserted the correct way.

Insert the battery holder into the

remote control.

Push the battery holder in until it clicks.

Tip :

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.

Lamp Replacement Period

It is time to replace the lamp when:

• The message "Lamp Replace." appears on the screen for 30 seconds

when projection starts

A message will be displayed.

• When the (Warning) indicator is flashing red at 0.5-second intervals

Flashes red at 0.5-second intervals

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

Tip :

• The replacement warning message is set to appear after about 1400 hours of lamp use in order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images. 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.

• The warning message appears after about 1400 hours of use, but the actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used. Some lamps may stop operating before 1400 hours of use, so you should always have a spare lamp ready in case.

• Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Maintenance

Replacing the Lamp

Caution :

• If the lamp stops working and needs to be replaced, there is the danger that the lamp may break when handled. If replacing the lamp of a projector that has been installed to the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and remove the lamp cover very carefully.

• Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before opening the lamp cover. It takes a further one hour after the cool-down enough.

period has finished for the lamp to be cool

Procedure

Turn off the projector power, wait

for the cool-down period to end, and then disconnect the power cable.

The cool-down period lasts for about 45 seconds. The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature.

Wait until the lamp has cooled

down, and then remove the lamp cover from the base of the projector.

It takes approximately one hour for the lamp to cool down by itself after the cooldown period has finished. While pressing the two hooks, pull the lamp cover up to remove it.

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Use the screwdriver that is supplied with the spare lamp or a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two lamp fixing screws that are securing the lamp to the projector.

Take out the lamp.

Hold the lamp by the two recesses on the side to lift it up and out from the projector.

Install the new lamp.

Hold the lamp so that it faces the correct way to fit into the projector, and then insert the lamp until it clicks into place and tighten the two fixing screws.

Install the lamp cover.

Insert the two cover tabs into the projector, and then press the other side of the lamp cover until it clicks into place.

Tip :

• Install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the lamp turns off automatically as a safety precaution. Moreover, the lamp will not turn on if the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly.

• Spare lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced when the lamp is replaced. (p.79)

• Dispose of used lamps properly in accordance with your local regulations.

Maintenance

Resetting the Lamp Operating Time

The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating time. When the cumulative operating time reaches a certain point, it causes the replacement warning message to be displayed. Therefore, the counter needs to be reset after the lamp has been replaced with a new one. You can do this using the projector menu.

Tip :

Do not reset the lamp operating time except after the lamp has been replaced, otherwise the lamp replacement period will not be indicated correctly.
