Installation

Connecting the AC Power Cord

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used. If supplied the AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

To power cord connector on your projector.

Projector side AC outlet side

Ground

To the AC outlet.

(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.

For the U.K.

(200–240 V AC)

To the AC outlet.

(200–240 V AC)

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

The preparation display will disappear after 30 seconds.

(See page 51 for Lamp control status.)

Lamp control status

Tu r ning On the Projector

Connect the projector’s AC power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator lights red.

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control. The POWER indicator lights green and the cooling fans start to operate. The preparation display appears on the screen and the count down starts.

After the countdown, the input source that was selected the last time and the lamp control status icon (see page 51) appear on the screen.

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 pages 52–53 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 72 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

Selected Input Source and Lamp Control

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

PIN Code Input Dialog Box

✔Notes:

•When the Logo select function is set to “Off,” the logo will not be shown on the screen (p.47).

•When the “Countdown off” or “Off” is selected in the Display function, the countdown will not be shown on the screen (p.46).

•During the countdown period, all operations are invalid.

•If the correct PIN code number is not entered within three minutes after the PIN code dialog box appeared, the projector will be turned off automatically.

•The “1234” is set as the initial PIN code at the factory.

•When the Input Search function is set to “On2”, the input signal will be searched automatically (p.49)

✔Note:

•The Filter warning and Lamp replacement icons may appear on the screen depending on the usage state of the projector.

Basic Operation

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

“Power off?” disappears after 4 seconds.

Tu r ning Off the Projector

Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on the remote control, and “Power off?” appears on the screen.

Press the POWER ON-OFF button again to turn off the projector. The POWER indicator starts to blink red, and the cooling fans keep running. (You can select the level of fans’ quietness and speed. See “Fan” on page 54.) At this time, you can unplug the AC power cord even if the fans are still running.

When the projector has cooled down enough, the POWER indicator stops blinking and you can turn on the projector. After it is cooled down completely, unplug the AC power cord.

✔Notes:

•When the On start function is set to “On,” the projector will be turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet (p.51).

•Do not operate the projector continuously without rest. Continuous use may result in shortening the lamp life. Turn off the projector and let stand for 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 lights red, see “Warning Indicators” on page 56.

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