Setting up

Setting up

Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be
used in.

WARNING

►Place the projector in a stable horizontal position. If the
projector falls or is knocked over it could cause injury and/or damage to the
projector. Using a damaged projector could then result in re and/or electric
shock.

• Do not place the projector on an unstable, slanted or vibrational surface such
as a wobbly or inclined stand.

• Do not place the projector on its side, front or rear position.

• Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as suspending from
a ceiling.
►Place the projector in a cool place, and ensure that there is sufcient
ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause re, burns and/or
malfunction of the projector.

• Do not stop-up, block or otherwise cover the projector's vents.

• Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides of the projector and other
objects such as walls.

• Do not place the projector on metallic thing or anything weak in heat.

• Do not place the projector on carpet, cushions or bedding.

• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight or near hot objects such as heaters.

• Do not place anything near the projector lens or vents, or on top of the
projector.

• Do not place anything that may be sucked into or stick to the vents on the
bottom of the projector. This projector has some intake vents also on the bottom.
►Do not place the projector anyplace where it may get wet. Getting the projector
wet or inserting liquid into the projector could cause re, electric shock and/or
malfunction of the projector.

• Do not place the projector in a bathroom or the outdoors.

• Do not place anything containing liquid near the projector.

CAUTION

►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place.
Placing the projector in such places could cause re, electric shock and/or

Adjusting the projector's elevator

q

CONTROL

When the place to put the projector is slightly uneven to the left or right, use the
elevator feet to place the projector horizontally.
Using the feet can also tilt the projector in order to project at
a suitable angle to the screen, elevating the front side of the
projector within 8 degrees.
This projector has 2 elevator feet and 2 elevator knobs. An elevator foot is
adjustable while pulling up the elevator knob on the same side as it.

Holding the projector, pull the elevator knobs up to loose the elevator feet.

1.

Position the front side of the projector to the desired height.

2.

Release the elevator knobs in order to lock the elevator feet.

3.

After making sure that the elevator feet are locked, put the projector gently.

4.

If necessary, the elevator feet can be manually twisted to make more precise

adjustments. Hold the projector when twisting the feet.

To loose an elevator foot,
pull up the elevator knob
on the same side as it.

To nely adjust, twist
the foot.

Setting up

CAUTION

since the projector may drop down.
►Do not tilt the projector other than elevating its front within 8 degrees using
the adjuster feet. A tilt of the projector exceeding the restriction could cause
malfunction or shortening the lifetime of consumables, or the projector itself.

►Do not handle the elevator knobs without holding the projector,

WARNING

►Do not disassemble or modify the projector.

►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.

CAUTION

connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may
generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in
malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.
►Use appropriate accessory or designated cables. Ask your dealer about non­accessory cables which may be required a specic length or a ferrite core by
the regulations. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with the
core to the projector.

►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to

Setting up

Connecting your devices (continued)

•

NOTE

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.

- Be sure to consult to the administrator of the network. Do not connect LAN port to any
network that might have the excessive voltage.

- 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 ts 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 computer 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.

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensors. This projector has
three remote sensors on the front, on the top, and on the back.
The sensors can be respectively turned active or inactive using the “REMOTE
RECEIV.” in the SERVICE item of OPTION menu (47). Each sensor senses the
signal within the following range when the sensor is active.

The front and top sensors:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.

The back sensor:

40 degrees (20 degrees to the left and right of the
sensor) within 3 meters about.

NOTE

• The remote control signal reected in
the screen or the like may be available. If it is
difcult to send the signal to the sensor directly,
attempt to make the signal reect.

• The remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), so be
sure to use the remote control in an area free
from obstacles that could block the remote
control’s signal to the projector.

• The remote control may not work correctly if
strong light (such as direct sun light) or light
from an extremely close range (such as from
an inverter uorescent lamp) shines on the
remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the
position of projector avoiding those lights.

properly, attempt to change the signal frequency.
Please remember that the “REMOTE FREQ.” in
SERVICE item of OPTION menu (47) of the
projector to be controlled should be set to the
same mode as the remote control.
To set the mode of the remote control, slide the
