This allows images to be projected correctly
even if the projector is not set up directly
perpendicular to the screen. (p. 12)
Compact and lightweight
The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page
(274 (D) x 348 (W) x 104 (H) mm (10.79 (D) x 13.7 (W) x 4.09 (H) inches) and
is light in weight (approximately 4.2kg (9.3 lbs)).
Equipped with five color modes
The optimum images can be projected simply
by selecting the desired color mode from the
following five preset modes in accordance
with the images being projected. No complex
color adjustments are required.

If the projector cannot be set up so that it is exactly perpendicular to the screen, it can be set up so that it is
tilting slightly horizontally or vertically. To tilt the projector upward, adjust the front adjustable foot to tilt the
projector at an angle of up to a maximum 12°.
While pressing the foot adjust button,
lift up the front of the projector so that
the front adjustable foot can extend.

Correcting Keystone Distortion
When the projector is set up at an angle, keystone distortion may appear in the projected images. If the
projector is adjusted to within a range of approximately 30° vertically or 10° horizont ally, the keystone
correction function can be used to adjust this keystone distortion.
The values given here are for when the image is at the smallest zoom setting (telephoto). The maximum
angles will be smaller if the zoom setting has been increased in the wide angle direction. Furthermore, if the
projector has been tilted both vertically and horizontally, the maximum adjustable angle will again be smaller
than the maximum angle if the projector had been tilted in only one direction.

Procedure to follow if using both horizontal and vertical keystone correction:
1. With the front adjustable foot retracted, set the projector so that it is fully horizontal.
2. Extend the front adjustable foot to adjust the angle as necessary.
3. Adjust the vertical keystone distortion until both sides of the picture are vertical.
4. Adjust the horizontal keystone distortion until the top and bottom edges of the picture are both horizontal.
When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.
••••
The keystone correction settings are memorized, so that if you change the position or angle of
••••
the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone correction settings.
To return a previous keystone correction to the initial setting, carry out the following operations.
To initalize vertical keystone correction: While holding down the button, press the button
for 1 second or more.

When replacing the lamp, ch eck that th e lamp and the l amp cov er
are securely installed. If the lamp or lamp cover is not securely
installed, the lamp will not turn on.
If the power cord plug is disconnected before the cool-down
had not completely finished before, this may happen the next
time you try to turn on the lamp.
Wait for about 2 minutes without operating the projector. After
about 2 minutes, the cooling fan will stop. When the cooling fan
stops, disconnect the power plug and then re-insert it. When the
power cord is plugged back in, the projector will return to its
previou s state, so press th e [Power] button on either the remot e
control or the projector's control panel to turn it back on.
If the lamp operating error happens again when the power is
turned back on, remove th e lamp and check if the lamp is broke n.
If it is not broken, reins ta l l it. If it is broken, replace it. Then
press the [Power] button on ei th er the remote con tr ol or the
projector's control panel.
If the indicators still show a problem, stop using the projector,
disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and contact

Appendices
This chapter provides information on maintenance
procedures to ensure the best level of performance for the
projector for a long time.
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 p rojected im ages star ts to deteriorate.
Be sure to read the separate
details on safe handling of the projector during cleaning.
Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms
for
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.
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.
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.
Stand up the projector in order to prevent dust getting inside the projector, and then use a vacuum cleaner to
clean away the dust from the air filter.
If the air filter is difficul t to clean or if it is brok en,
••••
it should be replaced. Contact your dealer for a
spare air filter .
Replacement lamps are provided with a spare

Procedure
Replacing the Lamp
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 which has been installed to the ceiling, you should
remove the projector from the ceiling before replacing the lamp. If the projector cannot be
removed from the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and handle it
with extreme care during removal. Furthermore, you should stand to the side of the
projector, not underneath it.

A type of video signal output by video equ ipment which actually consists of three sepa rate
signals: a red + luminance signal (R-Y), a luminance signal (Y) and a blue + luminance signal
(B-Y). Each signal is transmitted along a separate cable. Color difference signals generally
result in a better image than comp osite signals (in which the red, green and blue signals and
the luminance signal are all transmitted along a single cable).

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does
not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of
matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the
signal) is called "synchronization". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as
flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
