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 much 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.

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

unplug the projector from the power outlet.

(120 V AC)

For Continental Europe

For the U.S.A. and Canada

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-120 V or 200-240 V AC. This projector automatically selects the correct input voltage. It is designed to work with singlephase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system. Consult your authorized dealer or service station if you are not sure of the type of power being supplied. Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning the projector on. (See page 18-20 for connection.)

CAUTION

For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use. When this projector is connected to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in Stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

Connecting the AC Power Cord

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector. The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.

What is PIN code?

PIN code is a security code using Personal Identification Number that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting PIN code prevents others except the specific users from operating the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to PIN code lock function in Setting on page 52, 53 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

Pointer

After the OK icon disappears, you can operate the projector.

PIN Code Input Dialog Box

Tu r ning On the Projector

Basic Operation

Enter a PIN code

Select a number by pressing the Point 7 8 buttons and fix the number with the SELECT button. The number will change to "✳". If you fixed an incorrect number, move the pointer to "Set" or "Clear" once by pressing the Point d button, then return to "PIN code". Enter the correct number again. Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number. "1234" is set as the initial PIN code at the factory.

When the four-digit number is fixed, the pointer will automatically move 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 and disappear. 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. Set a new PIN code with special care, write it down in column on page 70 of this manual, and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

✔Note:

•When the Logo select function is off, the logo will not be shown on the screen. (p48)

•When the "Countdown off" or "Off" is selected in the Display function, the countdown will not be shown on the screen. (p47)

• During the countdown period, all operations are

invalid.

• If the correct PIN code number is not input for 3

minutes after the PIN code dialog box appeared, the projector will be turned off automatically.

Installation

Basic Operation

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control, and a message "Power off?" will appear on the screen.

Press the POWER ON-OFF button again to turn off the projector. The POWER indicator will start to blink red, and the cooling fans will keep operating. (You can select the level of fun quietness and rotation speed. See page 54.) At this time you can disconnect the AC power cord even if the fans are still running.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.

When the projector has cooled down enough to be turned on again, the POWER indicator will be red.

The message will disappear after 4 seconds.

✔Note:

•When the On start function is on, this projector will be turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet. (p51)

•Do not operate the projector continuously without rest. Continuous use may result in shortening the lamp life. Turn off the projector and give it a rest about an hour in every 24 hours.

•The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

•Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled enough.

•If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits a red light, see "Warning Indicator" on page 55.

•While the POWER indicator is blinking, lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait until the POWER indicator becomes red to be turned on again.

•For assisting the cooling fans' operation, the projector is equipped with a large capacitor. While the projector is operating, the capacitor charges electricity. When disconnecting the AC plug from AC outlet, cooling fans start to run about 1 minutes until the capacitor is discharged.
