glass parts such as the lens and projection lamp. The lamp is fragile, and can easily break. If the lamp breaks, handle the projector with extreme care to avoid injury from broken glass, and contact your dealer or the nearest address provided on page 65 for repairs. Particular care should be taken when the projector is installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. Be very careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth.

• Material or paper may get stuck against the air filter

underneath the projector while it is in use. Remove anything from underneath the projector that might get stuck against the air filter in this way.

• Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use.

Doing so will result in serious burns. Before removing the lamp, turn off the power supply and wait the time specified on page 58 to allow the lamp to cool completely.

• A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used

as the projector's light source. Mercury lamps may make a loud noise when they break. Handle the lamp with extreme care while observing the following. If the following points are not observed, injury or poisoning may result.

− Do not damage the lamp or subject it to any

impacts.

− Do not use the lamp after the lamp replacement

period has elapsed. Once the lamp replacement period has elapsed, 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.

− The gases inside mercury lamps contain mercury

vapor. If the lamp breaks, immediately ventilate the room to prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.

− Do not bring your face close to the projector while

it is in use, in order to prevent the gases that are released when the lamp breaks from being inhaled or coming into contact with the eyes or mouth.

− If the lamp breaks and needs to be replaced with a

new lamp, contact the place of purchase or the nearest address provided on page 65 to carry out the replacement. If the lamp breaks, pieces of broken glass may get scattered around inside the projector.

− Particular care should be taken when the projector

is installed to a ceiling, as small pieces of glass may fall down when the lamp cover is removed. If cleaning the projector or replacing the lamp yourself, be very careful not to allow such pieces of glass to get into the eyes or mouth. If the lamp breaks and gas from the lamp or fragments of broken glass are inhaled or get into the eyes or mouth, or if any other ill effects are noticed, immediately seek medical advice. In addition, consult your local regulations regarding proper disposal and do not place in the trash.

• If there is an electrical storm, do not touch the power

plug, otherwise you may receive an electric shock.

• Clean the inside of the projector periodically.

If the inside of the projector has not been cleaned for a long time, dust may build up and cause fire or electric shocks. Contact your dealer or the nearest address provided on page 65 to clean inside the projector at least once a year. A charge will be levied for this service.

• If using a remote control that takes batteries, keep

these batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed. If the batteries are swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.

• When replacing batteries, take the following

precautions.

− Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.

− If the batteries leak, wipe away battery fluid with a

soft cloth. If fluid gets on your hands, wash immediately.

− Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

− Dispose of used batteries according to local

regulations.

− Remove the batteries if you won't be using the

projector for a long period of time.

• Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects

on it.

About JVC original sound system

Alpha waves are said to be the brain waves which are generated when a person is relaxing. JVC original sound system is the alpha wave frequency fluctuation given to the necessary variation between the left and right signals in a sound circuit (the indirect sounds between L-R). This is called LFO modulation. The aim is to correct the audio signal to fall easily within this median region, to produce natural sounding audio that relaxes you simply by listening to it.

Maintenance

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

Cleaning

Cleaning the air filter

When dust builds up on the air filter, or the message "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vents, and clean or replace the air filter" is displayed, remove any dust from the air filter using a vaccum cleaner.

cCaution:

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 shortening of the optical engine’s service life. It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in particularly dusty environments.

Cleaning the main unit

Clean the surface 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’s surface. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth.

Cleaning the projection lens

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

cCaution:

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

cCaution:

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

Consumables replacement period

Air filter replacement period

When the air filter gets dirty or is broken Replace it with the optional air filter. s "Optional Accessories and Consumables" page 60

Lamp replacement period

• The message "Replace the lamp" appears on the screen when projection starts.

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

QTip:

• In order to maintain the initial brightness and image quality, the lamp replacement message is displayed after about

1900 hours of use has passed. The time at which this message is displayed will vary depending on the color mode settings and the conditions under which this unit has been used.

• 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.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop

working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

• Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
