projector and other objects such as walls. Do not place or
attach anything that would block the lens or vent holes.

• For the case of installation in a special state such as
ceiling mount, the specified mounting accessories and
service may be required. Before installing the projector,
consult your dealer about your installation.

• The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is suspended from the
ceiling or other location due to the flexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment
is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.

• The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30
minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust
the image position and/or focus as necessary.

• Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a
screen carefully to have better performance.

-

A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected image.

A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this projector.

- A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable

for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide
viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.

- A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not a

failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use with
this projector.

adapter or the specifi c cable is required for a component video input to the projector.

11

Setting up

Connecting your devices (continued)

NOTE

• Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to
the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected
with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal
timing, and the resolution.

- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.

- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals

which are not supported by this projector.

- Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA

(1600X1200), the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution
before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the
resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.

• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the
port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with
screws.

• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s
external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous
LCD and CRT display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the
instruction manual of the corresponding laptop PC.

• When the picture resolution is changed on a PC depending on an input,
automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed.
In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the
new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original.
It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the
resolution.

• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display
any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function
correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on
G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.

• The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from
HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.
