Before operating this projector, read this
manual thoroughly and operate the projector
properly.

This projector provides many convenient
features and functions. Operating the
projector properly enables you to manage
those features and maintains it in better
condition for a considerable time.

Improper operation may result in not only
shortening the product-life, but also
malfunctions, fire hazard, or other accidents.

If your projector seems to operate improperly,
read this manual again, check operations
and cable connections and try the solutions
in the "Troubleshooting" section in the end
of this booklet. If the problem still persists,
contact the dealer where you purchased the
projector or the service center.

Safety Precaution

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE

from the projection lens. Do not stare
directly into the lens, otherwise, eye
damage could result. Be especially
careful that children do not stare directly
into the beam.

- Install the projector in a proper position.
If not, it may result in a fire hazard.

- Provide appropriate space on the top,
