The internal projector components consist of many
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 66 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 66 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 66 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.

hands.
If fingerprints or marks are left on the face of the
lens, the image will not be projected clearly.Make
sure the lens cover is securely in place when not in
use.
EPSON will not be held responsible for damage
arising from projector or lamp failure outside the
range of that which is covered in your warranty
terms.
Condensation
If you move this unit from a cold place into a warm
room, or, if the room in which this unit is installed is
heated rapidly, condensation (moisture) may form
internally or on the lens surface.If condensation forms,
it may not only cause incorrect operation such as
weakening of the image, but also damage the disc and/
or parts.In order to prevent against condensation, setup
this unit in the room approximately one hour before it is
to be used.If by some chance condensation does form,
turn on the main power switch then wait one to two
hours before use. Do not use the lamp during this time.
Lamp
This machine uses a mercury lamp with a high internal
pressure as its light source.Mercury lamps have the
following characteristics.
Lamp brightness decreases once the rated lamp usage
time has passed.
When the lamp reaches the end of its life, it may enter
a state where it will no longer light, or it may explode
with a loud noise due to impact, deterioration, or the
expiration of its usage time.
Depending on the individual difference of each lamp
and the conditions of use, there is a considerable
difference in the time it takes for the lamp to reach the
end of its life.
To provide against contingencies, prepare a
replacement lamp in advance.
The potential for the lamp to explode increases once
the lamp usage time has been exceeded.
When the lamp replacement message appears,
promptly replace the lamp with a new one.
LCD panel
Although the liquid crystal panel is made using very
precise high technology, you may see some black
pixels, or pixels that are always lit red, blue, or
green.You may also be able to see lines with irregular
brightness or color.
These are normal characteristics of liquid crystal
panels, and are not indicative of any malfunction.Be
aware of this fact.
Do not leave this unit projecting a still image over a
long period of time.
It is possible that remnants of the image may remain
(screen burn). You may be able to avoid screen burn
by switching off the power and leaving the projector
for a while.If the screen burn does not disappear, contact your dealer for advice. sp. 66

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.
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.
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.
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
56

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” p. 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.
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.
