Projector features / Preparations

Projector features

This projector has a capability to project various picture signals onto a screen. This projector requires only a minimal amount of space for installation and can produce a large projected image from even a short distance.

This projector also can give a benefit to mobile users and others by offering a special function named “PC less presentation”. Even without PC, this projector realizes the display on screen, getting JPEG, MPEG and Motion-JPEG pictures from USB storage media.

Preparations

Contents of package

Please see the “Contents of package” in the “User’s Manual (concise)” which is a book. Your projector should come with the items shown there. Contact immediately your dealer if anything is missing.

NOTE • Keep the original packing materials, for future reshipment. Be sure to use the original packing materials when moving the projector. Use special caution for the lens.

Fastening the lens cover

Strap hole

To avoid losing the lens cover, please fasten the

 

lens cover to the projector using the enclosed strap.

 

1.

Fix the strap to the strap hole of the lens cover.

 

Thread one end of the strap through the strap

 

hole of the lens cover and make the loop at the end,

 

and let the other end of the strap through the loop.

 

Not have a knot in the strap at either end.

Strap hole

2.

Fix the strap to the strap hole of the projector.

 

Thread the other end of the strap through the strap hole of the projector and make

the loop there. Let the lens cover with the one end of strap though the loop.

Replacing the filter cover for bottom-up use

For the projector installed bottom-up, please replace the filter cover with the enclosed filter cover for bottom-up use, to keep

necessary ventilation space.

Please refer to the “Air filter” (59) for how to detach and attach a filter cover.

WARNING ►Consult with your dealer

 

before a special installation such as

Filter cover

suspending from a ceiling.

WARNING HOT! : Do not touch around the lamp cover and the exhaust

vents during use or just after use, since it is too hot.

►Do not look into the lens or vents while the lamp is on, since the strong light is not good for your eyes.

►Do not handle the elevator knobs without holding the projector, since the projector may drop down.

CAUTION ►Maintain normal ventilation to prevent the projector from heating up. Do not cover, block or plug up the vents. Do not place anything that can stick or be sucked to the vents, around the intake vents. Clean the air filter periodically.

►Do not use the security slot to prevent the projector from falling down, since it is not designed for it.

►Use the shutdown switch only when the projector is not turned off by normal procedure, since pushing this switch stops operation of the projector without cooling it down.

NOTE • The COMPUTER IN1 port can support a component signal also. For more information, please see the description of the COMPUTER IN item of the INPUT menu (29).

WARNING ►Do not disassemble or modify the projector and accessories.

►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables. CAUTION ►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to

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 otherwise designed cables. Ask your dealer about non-accessory cables which may have to be of a specific length or equipped with a core. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with the core to the projector.

►Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

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.

About Plug-and-Play capability

Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a PC, its operating system and peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B compatible. Plug-and- Play can be used by connecting this projector to a pc that is VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.

Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the COMPUTER IN1 port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is attempted.

Please use the standard drivers in your pc as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.

Setting up

Using a USB storage

In order to view images stored in a USB storage, such as a USB memory stick, insert the device into the USB STORAGE port.

For more information, please see the “USB STORAGE” (48).

Turn the projector off prior to removing the USB storage from the USB STORAGE port, to prevent some troubles.

3. Replace the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and snap it back into place.

WARNING ►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

Be sure to use only the batteries specified. Do not use batteries of different types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one.

Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.

Keep a battery away from children and pets.

Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.

Do not allow a battery in a fire or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.

If you observe a leakage of a battery, wipe out the flower and then replace a battery. If the flower adheres your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.

Obey the local laws on disposing the battery.

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.

The sensor senses the signal within the following range when the sensor is active:

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

30º 30º Approx. 3 m

NOTE • The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be available. If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal reflect.

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 fluorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector.Adjust the position of projector avoiding those lights.
