CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Before installing and operating this projector, read this
manual thoroughly.
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you
to manage those features and maintains it in good
condition for many years to come.
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 back 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 THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
– This projector produces intense light 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. Otherwise it
may result in fire hazard.
– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,
and rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper air
circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimension
shown here indicate the minimum space required. If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, these minimum distances must be
maintained.
–
Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat
build-up can reduce the service life of your projector,
and can also be dangerous.
– If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug
the projector from the power outlet.

periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use
only with a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the projector. Wall or shelf
mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and should use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet
are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
the equipment and to protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This projector should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation

cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.
Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of airconditioning equipment.
This projector should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your

to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the projector to normal
operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the

AC Power Cord for the United Kingdom:
This cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating, marked thus
. If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required,
ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available from
the Parts Department indicated in your User Instructions. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should
be cut off and destroyed. The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted.

(120 V AC)
For Continental EuropeFor the U.S.A. and Canada
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 V or
200–240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct input
voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power
systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of
power system.
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied,
consult your authorized dealer or service station.
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before
turning the projector on.
CAUTION
For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector
is not in use. When the projector is connected to an outlet
with the AC power cord, it is in stand-by mode and
consumes a little electric power.
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the
projector.
The AC outlet must be near this equipment
and must be easily accessible.

If the projector is locked with a PIN code, PIN code
input dialog box will appear. Enter the PIN code as
instructed below.
Complete peripheral connections (with a computer,
VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.
What is PIN code?
PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code
that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector.
Setting a PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the
projector.
A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN
code lock function in the Setting Menu on page 48 for locking
operation of the projector with your PIN code.
Enter a PIN code
Use the Point ed buttons to enter a number. Press the Point
8 button to fix the number and move the red frame pointer to
the next box. The number changes to “✳.” If you fixed an
incorrect number, use the Point 7 button to move the pointer
to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct
number.
Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number.
After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to
“Set.” Press the SELECT button so that you can start to
operate the projector.
If you entered an incorrect PIN code, “PIN code” and the
number (✳✳✳✳) will turn red for a moment. Enter the correct
PIN code all over again.
CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE
If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no
longer be started. Take a special care in setting a
new PIN code; write down the number in a
column on page 65 of this manual and keep it at
hand. Should the PIN code be missing or
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
