Controls and Features

Loading Batteries into the Remote Control

Please load batteries into the remote control. If the remote control starts to work erratically, replace the batteries.

1.

Open the back cover

• Push the hook on the back cover lightly in the direc­tion of the arrow and lift it up.

2.

Load the batteries

• Place the two supplied batteries (AA/R6-size) into
the remote control as illustrated below. To prevent
short circuit, be sure to insert the minus · end of
the battery first.

Precautions for using batteries

If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or leak. This
could cause fire, burn, malfunction, 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 are differ­ent in characteristics.

• Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated on
the cartridge.

• Be sure to insert the minus · end in first to avoid short­circuiting.

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

• Use only designated batteries.

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

Battery Life

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.

Battery Leakage

When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no longer
be used, replace them immediately.
Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes
battery leakage which in turn causes malfunction.
Further, in cases where the leakage comes to contact with
the skin, wipe it away with a cloth, otherwise skin problems
may occur.

Close the back cover

• Close the back cover by inserting the end first and
pressing down until a click is heard.

Installing the Projector

Precautions for Installation

Please read the following properly when installing the projector.

Installation Environment

Please do not install or use this projector in the follow­ing places. The projector is a precision device and do­ing so could cause a fire or malfunction.

• Where there is water, humidity or dust

• Where the projector may be subjected to oil, smoke or
cigarette smoke

• On a soft surface such as a carpet or cushion

• Where the projector may be subjected to direct sunlight

• Where temperature is high or low
Allowable operation temperature range : +5 °C to +35 °C
Allowable relative humidity range : 20 % to 80 %

(no condensa­tion)

Allowable storage temperature range : –10 °C to +60 °C

•Any room in which there is smoke and grease
Even where smoke and grease levels are minimal, pro­longed exposure will affect the projector. The projector
emits heat and optical components are cooled down by
taking in large amount of air. The optical path being soiled
by grease/dirt can cause images to become dark and the
color projection to deteriorate. After soiling, removing
grease/dirt totally from the optical parts is not possible.

Precaution for Usage

This projector uses a light-source lamp which reaches
high temperatures when projecting.
Please DO NOT use it in the following ways as doing so
may result in fire or malfunction.

• Projecting images while the projector is on its side.

• Projecting images outside the specified angle.
Do not use the projector while it is set more than ±5°
horizontally (left/right), or more than ±25° vertically (up/
down). This could cause color variation or shorten the
lamp life.

• Use while blocking the exhaust vents.

Minimum Space Required

Do not use a cover which may enclose the projector
air-tight or block the exhaust vents. Allow sufficient
space around the projector. When the projector is en­closed in a space of the following dimensions, use an
air conditioner so that internal and external tempera­tures are the same.

Mounting the Projector

When mounting of the projector is required, do it using the embedded three screw holes (M6 nuts) at the bottom of the projector.

Precaution for ceiling-mount

•To ceiling-mount and adjust the projector, special exper­tise and techniques are necessary. Be sure to ask your
dealer or specialist to perform the work.

• Do not mount on places that will be subjected to knocks
and vibrations.

• As the depth of the screw holes is 10 mm, use screws
shorter than 10 mm but longer than 6 mm. Otherwise, the
screws will damage the internal parts of the projector caus­ing malfunction.

• Install at a safe place in case this unit or a part of it may
drop. If the light-source lamp is broken, small pieces of
glass from the mesh of the filter may appear outside this
unit.

Installing the Projector

Projection Distance and Screen Size

• This projector uses 1.3x manual zoom lens for projection.

• Although the focusable projection distance is about 1.6 m - 12 m, the projection distance recommendable for performance is
about 2 m - 8 m. Install the projector within this range and adjust the screen size when the aspect ratio of the screen is 16:9.

• If the KEYSTONE is adjusted, the screen becomes smaller. (☞ page 30)

Replacing the Lamp

The light source lamp and its lamp time

The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of lamps currently used for this projector is about 2000 hours.
[Average lamp life: 2000 hours]
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Please install a new lamp when
the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours or at least get a replacement lamp ready. Depending on the operating conditions,
the lamp may have to be changed earlier. If the image remains dark or the tone, unusual, even after adjustment, please replace the
lamp as soon as possible. You can check the accumulated used hours of the lamp via the “Lamp time” item in the “Information”
menu. (☞ page 40)

Please purchase the new lamp unit from the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector.

Exchange lamp Part No.: BHL5006-S

 When lamp time exceeds 1000 hours:

When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1000, a mes­sage indicating “1000h” will appear on the projected screen.

• Press [EXIT] button to delete the message.

 When lamp time exceeds 1900 hours:

● When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1900 hours:

The [LAMP] indicator on the projector lights up.

● When the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours:

“Lamp replacement” appears on the screen.
* Press [EXIT] button to delete the message.

● When the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours:

The lamp indicator on the projector blinks.
“Warning” and “Lamp replacement” appear on the screen;
the word “Warning” blinks.

•To cancel the message, press the [EXIT] button.
However, the same message will appear again every one
hour.

❈ Once the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours, and the projec-

tor is either put into the standby state or turned off, pro­jection will not be possible again until the lamp is replaced
and the lamp time is reset. (☞ page 49)

● When the lamp time exceeds 2010 hours:

The projector quits and shuts down.
❈ The projector does not turn on unless the lamp (lamp unit)

is replaced and the lamp time is reset. (☞ page 49)

About lamp replacement

● If the projector is set in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place could cause injury. Move the projector

to a place large enough to work in.

● To avoid malfunctions, be sure to use only genuine replacement parts. Also, never attempt to re-use an old lamp as this could

cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blow-out leading to projector malfunction. In the worse case, broken pieces
of glass from the lamp may cause injuries.

● Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and

could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before replacement.

● Before starting to replace the lamp, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet while the [STAND BY] indicator is on.

Replacing a lamp while the power cord is connected to wall outlet could cause injury or electric shocks.

The procedure for lamp replacement

1.

Loosen the screws and detach the light-source lamp cover

• Loosen the two screws with a ª screwdriver.

2.

Loosen the screws and lift up the handle

• Loosen the two screws with a ª screwdriver.

Replacing the Lamp

3.

Remove the lamp unit.

4.

Insert the new lamp unit until it is fully in.

Caution

• Neither touches the glass surface of the lamp di­rectly with your hand nor stains it. If you touch it with
a bare hand, oil or other substances on your hand
may adhere to the lamp, possibly preventing it from
performing as specified and therefore lead to a short­ened lamp life, a darkened screen, etc.

Lamp unit

5.

Close the handle, and tighten the screw.

• Tighten the two screws with a ª screwdriver.

6.

Attach the light-source lamp cover and tighten

the screw.

• Tighten the two screws with a ª screwdriver.

Note

• When closing the lamp cover, please insert the left
side (with the two claws) in first and then ensure that
the protruding part found on the reverse side of the
cover fits snugly into the hole of the main unit. As
this protrusion acts as a switch, misfitting leads to
power not being able to flow in.

Resetting the lamp time

After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp time counter inside the projector when this is done. A new count will start.
If the display of the accumulated lamp time has reached 2000 hours, the projector will not work (lamp does not light up) unless the
lamp time is reset.

1.

Insert the power cord into the wall outlet

• The [STAND BY] indicator lights up when the main power is input­ted.

2.

Press the [EXIT], [HIDE], [PRESET] buttons on the remote
control sequentially, then press VOL ª for 2 seconds or
more

• The [STAND BY] and [OPERATE] indicators alternately blink about
every approx. 3 seconds. After blinking stops, lamp time resets
and the projector returns to the stand-by state ([STAND BY] indi­cator lights up).

Caution for reset work

Reset the lamp time only when you have replaced the lamp.
Never reset it while the lamp is still in use, otherwise the approximate
standard for gauging replacement time may be inaccurate, lamp per­formance may suffer and lamp blow-out may also occur.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter

Clean the filter regularly or it may not work satisfactorily, causing damage. If the filter is extremely dirty and cannot be cleaned, or
if it is damaged, replace the filter with a new one (Lower filter: LC32087-002A/ Inner filter: LC32058-001C). Otherwise, dirt may get
inside the unit and appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has gotten in or if you need information
about the filter, please consult the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector.

❈ The air inlet filter on the right side cannot be removed. Please clean this filter regularly using, for example, a vacuum

cleaner.

1.

Pull out the power cord from the wall outlet

• After the projector goes into the stand-by state with the
[STAND BY] indicator on, pull out the power cord from
the wall outlet.

2.

Remove the filter

• When removing the lower filter:

Withdraw the lower filter backwards along the rail in the
direction of the arrow.

• When removing the inner filter:

Push the claw at the base of the inner filter in the up­ward direction and draw the filter out.

3.

Clean the filter

• Clean the filter with water and dry it, avoiding direct sun­light. In extremely soiled cases, use of a neutral deter­gent is recommended.

4.

Reinstalling the filter

• When reinstalling the lower filter:

Reinstall the lower filter by inserting it into the projector.

• When reinstalling the inner filter:

Install the filter after engaging the two claws of the inner
filter to the projector.

● Put on rubber gloves when using a neutral detergent.

● After you wash a filter in water, make sure that the filter is

completely dry before reinstalling, otherwise electric
shocks or malfunctions may occur.

● Do not clean removable filters with a vacuum cleaner.
Since these filters are soft, they can be sucked into the
vacuum cleaner or otherwise damaged.

Are signals with much jitter or skew distortion
being input from a video deck?

Are batteries installed correctly?

Are batteries exhausted?

Is there an obstructive object between the re­mote control unit and the remote sensor?

Is the remote control held too far from the sen­sor?

• Input separate sync signals for vertical sync
(V) and horizontal sync (H) signals.

• Input signals with little jitter or skew distor­tion.

• Use a TBC or a device with a built-in TBC.

• Match the polarities of batteries correctly, as
shown on the battery cartridge.

• Replace with new batteries.

• Remove any shielding objects.

• Use the remote control unit at a nearer point.
