Operating The Remote Control

ATTENTION • Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical
impact.

• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in
malfunction.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won’t be using the remote control for an extended period.

• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.

• When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range

(such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote sensor, the
remote control may cause to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light
from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.

• The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor.

• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60­degree range (30 degrees to the left and right of the
remote sensor).

Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be
available. If it is difficult to send a remote signal to the
sensor directly, please try.

• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send
signals to the projector (Class1 LED), be sure to use the
remote control in an area free from obstacles that could
block the remote control’s output signal to the projector.

WARNING

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a
loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time.

Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after
you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of
glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the
projector’s vent holes.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power
cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local
dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause
injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp
yourself.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room
well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or
get it in your eyes or mouth.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is
dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover
is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer
to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken

• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section
“Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soon

as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date,
could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are
electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local
dealer or a service representative.

• Use the lamp of the specified type only.Type number: DT00611

• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is

not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling
the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make
sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or
injury.

• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to
dispose of used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases,
bulbs are sorted separately.

Caring For The Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned about every 100 hours. If the indicators or a message
prompts you to clean the air filter (see the section “Related Messages” and “Regarding
The Indicator Lamps”), clean the air filter as soon as possible. If the air filter becomes
clogged by dust or the like, internal temperature rises and could cause malfunction.

Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord.

• Be sure to check jack type, signal level, timing and resolution before connecting this

projector to a computer.

• Depending on the input signal, full-size display may not be possible in some cases.

Refer to the number of display pixels above.

• Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (1,600 x

1,200), 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 projector panel are identical.

• The image may not be displayed correctly when the input sync. signal is “Composite

Sync.” or “Sync. on G”.

• Automatically adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals.

• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input,

automatic adjust 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 TFT monitors to change the resolution.

(2) The projector decreases the setting value on the above setting code.
(3) The projector returns the response code ‘06H’ to the computer.

When the projector cannot understand the received command

When the projector cannot understand the received command, the error code ‘15H’ is
sent back to the computer.
Sometimes the projector cannot properly receive the command. In such a case, the
command is not executed and the error code ‘15H’ is sent back to the computer. If this
error code is returned, send the same command again.

When the projector cannot execute the received command.

When the projector cannot execute the received command, the error code ‘1cH’ +
‘xxxxH’ is sent back to the computer. When the data length is greater than indicated by
the data length code, the projector ignore the excess data code.
Conversely when the data length is shorter than indicated by the data length code, an
error code will be returned to the computer.

NOTE

undefined command or data.

• Operation cannot be guaranteed when the projector receives an

• Provide an interval of at least 40ms between the response code and any other code.

• The projector outputs test data when the power supply is switched ON, and when the

lamp is lit. Ignore this data.

• Commands are not accepted during warm-up.
