Important Lamp Information

The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted (inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SP-LAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the lamp warranty (and if use of the wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void the projector warranty).

See the safety instructions booklet for important safety information about ceiling mounting this projector.

Preparing the Remote Controller

The remote control unit comes loaded with a test battery. Before using it for the first time, remove the battery insulation sheet from the back of the remote controller.

z To avoid running down the battery, store the remote control unit so its buttons are not

pressed inadvertently.

General Guide

Replacing the Remote Controller Battery

Before you can use the remote controller for the first time, you need to load the battery that comes with it.

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT

Caution

TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Misuse of a battery can cause it to leak and stain the area around it, or to explode, creating the risk of fire and personal injury. Make sure that you always observe the following precautions.

z Take care that the battery is oriented correctly when you load it. z Use only battery type that is specified for use with the remote controller.

1. Hook your fingernail on the groove of

the battery holder on the back of the remote controller. While holding down the release on the side ( the holder (

2. Place the battery (CR2025) onto the

battery holder.

z Make sure that the plus (+) side of the

battery is facing upwards (so you can see it). Take care that you do not install the battery upside down.

3. Replace the battery holder back into the remote controller.

Getting Ready

Setting Up the Projector

Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure to allow sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. z The following illustrations show how the projector should be oriented for optimum projection

relative to the screen.

Viewed from Above Viewed from the Side

Screen Screen

The center of the projector’s lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen.

z You can place the projector on a surface that is angled up to 30 degrees upwards or

downwards during use. Never locate the projector on a surface that is angled more than 30 degrees, or angled at all to the left or right. Such conditions can cause the lamp to explode or can shorten lamp life, and also creates the risk of malfunction.

z The projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are

projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction (page

14) to correct the image.

Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.

Getting Ready

Adjusting the Projector Elevation Angle

You can change the elevation angle of the projector in a range of 0 to 12 degrees. You can also make fine adjustments to the left and right side elevation angle when necessary.

To change the projector elevation angle

1. Lift up the front of the projector and press the

release button.

z This causes the elevation adjustment foot to drop

from the bottom of the projector.

z Be sure to press the release button before trying to

lower the elevation adjustment foot. Pulling on the foot without pressing the release lever can damage the foot.

2. While holding down the release button, raise and

lower the front of the projector until the elevation adjustment foot is approximately the length you need.

3. Release the release button to lock the elevation adjustment foot in its current position.

4. Use the left and right adjustment feet to further fine adjust the elevation angle.

z The left and right adjustment feet are for fine adjustment only. Do not try to rotate them

too far. Doing so can cause an adjustment foot to detach. Tightening an adjustment foot too strongly can cause it to become stuck.

Rotate to adjust horizontal alignment.

z To retract the elevation adjustment foot, hold down the release button and slide the

elevation adjustment foot back into the projector. Never try to forcibly change the elevation adjustment foot position without pressing the release button.

Rear Projection (From the Back of the Screen)

In the case of rear projection, left/right orientation is opposite that of front projection, so you need to configure the setup menu accordingly. For more detailed operation information, see the Reference Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.
