Precautions for using batteries

If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or leak liquid. This could cause a fire, burn, malfunction, or staining or damaging of the surroundings.

Beware of the following:

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Do not mix different types of batteries as they differ in characteristics.

• Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Be sure to put the minus (–) end in first to avoid short-circulating.

• Use only designated batteries.

• Remove the batteries if the remote is not to be used for a prolonged period.

• When the batteries are exhausted, replace them immediately. Otherwise, liquid could leak, or malfunction could occur due to leaking liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts the skin, wipe it off with a cloth, otherwise the skin could become rough.

• Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them.

• Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use. However, the batteries supplied are for confirming operation and may not run that long. When the remote control starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones.

Installing the Projector

Projection Distance and Screen Size

• The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (optional) to be used. When the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3, the range is as follows and you need to install the projector within this range.

Lens type GL-M2910G 0.77 m to 4.03 m GL-M2915SG 1.76 m to 4.50 m GL-M2920ZG 2.77 m to 19.71 m GL-M2930SZG 4.74 m to 29.87 m *: The value for projection distance is a guide (reference) one. The projected image size may vary depending on the

manufacturing tolerance of the projection lens.

Screen

To move the Shift positi on by 50%, set the bottom edge of the projection screen so that i t is at the same height as the center of the l ens.

Notes

• For detailed relationship between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix A. The relationships for both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios are listed there.

• When installing a screen, use a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

• (A 16 : 9 aspect-ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture is projected.)

• The diagonal length of a 16:9 aspect-ratio screen is about 91.8% that of a 4:3 aspect-ratio screen. This value is only a guide (reference).

• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture tends to become pale and dim. Use a curtain or other means to shield the light.

• Set the projector horizontally on a surface that is within the range of adjustable angles (up/down adjustment angle: +7° ; horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°).

• If the keystone is adjusted, the projected screen becomes smaller.

• When hanging from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture (not supplied).

■ Optional Lenses

This projector does not include a lens. You can select one of the optional lenses to adjust the projection distance. Please ask your authorized dealer or service center to install the lens.

(3) Response to DTV-format signals

DTV-format signals (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) can be input to the Y, P

■ Computer signals

Signals with the following scanning frequencies can be input to the PC 1 or PC 2 (G, B, R, H/CS, V) and DVI terminals.

Horizontal scanning frequency 15kHz - 105kHz Vertical scanning frequency 50Hz - 100Hz

Be sure that the computer to be used suffices the following conditions:

• The computer has the video signal output port. Be sure that the computer has the video signal output port by reading the instruction book of the computer. The video signal output port is generally called as “RGB port”, “monitor port”, or “video port”. If the computer-monitor hybrid type or note type is used, it may need to prepare for an external output port. Also, there will be the type to which an external output port cannot be installed.

• DVI input During DVI input, depending on the computer settings, there may be no signal input or an error may occur (blue screen). If this happens, turn off the power to both the projector and the computer, and then turn the projector back on before turning the computer on again. Then correctly set the computer's graphic board.

• The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page 23. Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range. A video signal out of range cannot be used. (Even signals out of the range could be projected. However, it may not sharp enough. On the other hand, even some of the signals within the range may require adjustment depending on the video board used.) When a signal other than listed in the table on page 23 is input, the image could be partially erased or an unneeded fold-over image could appear. Even signals in the frequency range that can be input may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal. Composite sync (C

Basic Operations

■ Lamp control settings

After turning the power on, first perform the lamp control settings on the setting menu referring to “Setting and Adjusting Other Functions (OPTIONS)” on page 54.

There are 3 modes in the lamp control settings.

1: NORMAL MODE (Normal)

Used as a normal lamp. The projector is set to “Normal” mode at the time of purchase.

* “Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 1000 hours.

2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC)

Automatically controls the power used by the lamp and increases it in steps. When this mode is used, the brightness starts at approximately 70%. The decrease in brightness is slower than in “Normal” mode and this mode is best suited when using the projector continuously for long periods of time.

* “Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 2000 hours.

3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC)

The brightness can be set in seven levels (-6 to 0). Since the brightness can be set in steps, this is the mode best suited for adjusting multiple screens. This setting can also be changed while the projector is being used. To change the setting, choose LOC with the 5/∞ cursors and choose the level with the 2/3 cursors.

* “Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 2000 hours.

The lamp replacement time is different for the 3 modes.

1: NORMAL MODE (Normal) ... 1000 hours 2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) ... 2000 hours 3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) ... 2000 hours

* These lamp replacement times are only a rough guide as to how long the lamp will last if these modes are used from the

beginning. These are not guaranteed service lives.

Notes

• Although the LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) and LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) electrically control the brightness of the lamp and extend the replacement time longer than that for the NORMAL MODE, the service life of the lamp is approximately 1000 hours.

• The lamp will gradually become less bright in each mode. Since the lamp may become less bright quickly in some usage environments, replace the lamp if you notice that it is no longer bright even if the lamp has not yet reached the end of its life.

• Mode settings

* If the projector is not put in stand-by mode or turned off after the lamp has been used continuously in the normal mode for

more than 1000 hours (but less than 2010 hours), it can be used for “up to 2010 hours”. However, if the projector is put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can not be turned back on again.

* If the projector is put in stand-by mode or turned off after the lamp has been used in the light output control mode or light

power control mode for more than 2000 hours (but less than 2010 hours), it can not be turned back on again. However, if the projector is not put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can be used for “up to 2010 hours”.

* If the projector is used in the light output control mode or light power control mode for more than 1000 hours, and then

switched to the normal mode, put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can not be turned back on again.

After performing the above settings, perform the necessary settings.

Removing the Lens Cap

Remove the lens cap before using the projector.

Notes

• The lens cap is supplied with the lens unit (optional). It should be attached to the lens when the projector is not used.

• Do not operate the projector with the lens cap attached. Doing so can deform the lens cap because of the heat. A metallic lens cap can get hot and cause injury.
