To the Owner

CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE EXCEPT LAMP REPLACEMENT.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE
IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WITH
THIS UNIT.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

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 THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

– This projector produces intense light from the projection

lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as possible. 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, sides and rear of the

projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector. Minimum clearance must be maintained. If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained. Do
not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat build­up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can
also be dangerous.

– Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the

projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation holes.

– If the projector is not to be used for an extended time,

unplug the projector from the power outlet.

Safety Instructions

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated.

Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later
use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long 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
such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.

Never push objects of any kind into this projector through
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 authorized dealer or
local power company.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest
on the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the
cord may be damaged by persons walking on it.

Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing 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
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.

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. (See Over)

WARNING : A PLUG WITH BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET
OUTLET.

The Wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow ············ Earth
Blue ································· Neutral

Brown ······························ Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety
earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
