Adoption of a special high-resolution DCDi video circuit developed by Faroudja.

This circuit greatly reduces the jagged edges that resulted from conventional progressive conversion, to produce much smoother and natural movement. (p.29)

Adoption of a three-dimensional Y/C separation function in the video processing circuit

This greatly reduces the noticeable color interference at the color boundaries of composite video signals, resulting in sharper and smoother reproduction of images.

Adoption of a short focal-length lens that can project onto 80-inch screens at distances of 2.5m (8.2 ft.)

This lens is ideal for projecting onto large indoor screens. The projector can also project onto 100-inch screens in rooms

with an area of about 10 m

Using the Menu Functions

The environment setting menus can be used to carry out a variety of settings and adjustments. Two types of menu (full menus and line menus) can be used to make environment settings. This section describes all of the functions that are available in the environment setting menus using the full menus as examples. The menus have a hierarchical structure, with a main menu that is divided into sub-menus. Refer to "Using the Environment Setting Menus" (p.18) for details on using the menus.

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 projector power will not turn on.

This can happen w hen the main power switch at the rear of the projector was tur ned off before the cool-down finished t he l ast time t he projec tor w as turn ed o f f, and it w as the n turned back on agai n before one hour ha d passed. When turning off the projector, wait 2 minutes. After about 2 minutes, the cooling fan will stop. When the cooling fan stops, turn off the main power switch and then turn it back on again. When the main power switch is turned back on, the projector will return to its previous st ate, so press the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to turn it back on. If the lamp ope ra ti ng 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, reinstall it. If it is broke n, replace it. Then turn on the main power switch at the r ear of the projector and pre ss the [Power] bu tton on either the remote control or the projector's control panel.

Refer to the documentation provi ded with your computer for details on changing the resolution and frequency of the ima g e signals being outp ut fr om the computer. (p.50)

Normally image signals are output to only the computer's LCD screen, so you need to change the output to an external destination. For some computer models, when the image signals are output externally, they no longer appear on the LCD screen. For details, refer to the section of the documentation provided with your computer under a head in g such as "External output", "Connecting an external monitor" or similar. (p.7)

Condition Poor image quality

••••

Probable cause Remedy

Has the focus been adjusted correctly? Has the front adjustable foot been adjusted

so that the projection angle is too big?

If the projection angle is too big, the image will be out of focus vertically.

Is the projector at the correct distance?

Is the projector beam perpendicular to the screen?

Is the lens dirty? Has condensation formed on the lens?

If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a warm environment, condensation may form on the lens, and this may ca use the images to appear fuzzy.

Does the input signal setting match the connected source?

Are the cables connected correctly?

Is an extension cable being used?

If an extension cable is used, electric al interference may increase.

Have the synchronization , tracking and display position been adjusted correctly? (When connected to a computer)

Has the correct resolution been selected? (When connected to a computer)

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.

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 fil ter.

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

Cleaning Replacing Consumables

The message appears for 30 seconds, and disappear s again after 30 seconds have passed.

Lamp indicator flashes orange or lights red.

The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

••••

In order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images, replace the lamp as

••••

soon as possible after the warning message appears. The replacement warning message is set to appear after 2900 hours of lamp use in order to

••••

maintain the brightne ss and qu ality of th e proje cted images . If y ou c ontinue to use the lamp afte r 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 2900 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 2900 hours of use, so you should always have a spare lamp ready in case.

When the lamp replacement warning message appears, the user's logo will not appear even if

••••

the “Start-up screen” setting is “ON”. Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

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.

Wait until the lam p has cool ed do wn sufficiently bef ore openi ng the lamp cover. After the

••••

period has finished, it tak e s appr oximately a further 30 minutes f or the l amp to

Turn off the main power switch at the rear of the projector. (p.8)

Wait until the lamp has cooled down, and then remove the lamp cover.

After the cool-down period has finished, it takes approximately a further 30 minutes for the lamp to be cool enough. Use the screwdriver that is provided with the replacement lamp to slide the lamp cov er op ening switch so that the lamp cover lifts up. Hold the raised section of the lamp cover and then slide it forward to remove it from the projector.

Loosen the two lamp fixing scr ews.

Use the screwdriver that is supplied with the replacement lamp 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.

Cleaning

Replacing Consumables

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.

Replacement lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced

••••

when the lamp is replaced. Dispose of used lamps properly in accordance with your local regulations.

••••

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.

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 w arning message to b e 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.

Do not reset the la mp op er ating time e xc ept a fter the lamp has b een re place d, othe rwis e the lamp replacement period will not be in dicated correctly.

This function directly converts image sources that have been recorded in the same 24-frame format used for movies into 60-frame progressive signals. This allows data such as DVD software that has been recorded in 24-frame format to be played back on large screens with more natural and accurate reproduction, without any loss of image quality from the original movie.

even for images that are very dark or very bright, to make them easier to view. 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).

Glossary

HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which

satisfy the following conditions.

Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater

••••

(p = progressive scanni ng , i = int erlaced scanning) Screen aspect ratio of 16:9

••••

Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (o r output)

••••

Interlaced A method of imag e scanning whereby the sig nal bandwidth used is approximately half th at

required for sequential scanning when images with the same still picture resolution are broadcast.

Offset The adjustment of minute chang es in color that occur as result of factors such as differences

in the equipment used to display images. It adjusts the coloration in darker ranges separately for R, G and B components.

Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosit y and colo r for an

extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed i n hertz (Hz).

S-Video images A video s ignal which has the lu minance component and color component separated in orde r

to provide better image quality. It refers to images which consist of two independ ent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (color signal).

SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems

which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television.

Security lock A device consisting of a protector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-

prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

sRGB A n international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors which are

reproduced by video equipment can be ha ndled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.

SVGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots which is

used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).

SXGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) x 1024 (vertical) dots which is

used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).

Synchronization (Sync.)

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.

Tracking 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 frequency of these signal s (the number of crests in the signal) is calle d “tracking”. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.

Three-dimensional Y/C separation

A term given to the reduction in fine image distortion such as stripiness and jaggedness of image contours that can occur as a result of separate digital processing of Y (luminance) and C (chroma) components of image signals.

UXGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 1600 (horizontal) x 1200 (vertical) dots which is

used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).

VGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots which is

used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).

XGA A type of image signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizonta l) x 768 (vertical) dots which is

used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).

YCbCr The carrier signal which is c ontain ed in the color b ar signa l used in mode rn TV tr ansmissi ons

(NTSC format). The name comes from the Y (lumi nance) signal and the CbCr (chroma [color]) signals.

YPbPr The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in high-definition TV

(HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (lumin ance) signal and the PbPr ( color difference) signals.
