The separately sold lenses used on the projector have a lens shift function. With the lens used, you can adjust the projected image vertically using the setting menu or the remote control’s SHIFT button U or D. When using the projectors in a stack configuration (stacked one over another), make adjustment so that the picture of one projector overlays exactly that of another using the lens shift function. For detailed adjustment procedures, refer to “Operating the Setting Menu” on page 29 and “Controls and Features” (page 10). For maximum amount of shift, refer to “Maximum amount of shift” on page 16. (When the lens needs to be adjusted in horizontal angles, consult your dealer or service center.)

Note

• Some of the lenses (except GL-M4023SZ and GL-M4015S) to be introduced in the future may not feature the lens shift function.

Memo

Stack configuration:

Up to four projectors can be stacked and used together (stack configuration). Using two or more projectors together, high image brightness can be attained. This allows you to project sufficiently bright image in a fairly large auditorium or relatively bright place without using a heavy-duty projector.

90°

Install the projector so the center of the projection screen is the same height as the center of the lens.

CAUTION

• To prevent damage to the projector during shipment, a shift center lock pin was used to fix the lens mechanism when the projector was shipped out the factory. If you implement “SHIFT LENS” on the setting menu and the lens does not either move up or down, the shift center lock pin may not have been removed. Consult your dealer or service center.

CAUTIONS and NOTES

• When installing the 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 picture is about 91.8% that of a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is a guide

and should be used as a reference.

• When projecting at the maximum projection distance, we recommend that the projector be used with the zoom on the Tele

(T).

• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a

curtain, etc. to shield the light.

• Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected.

Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +4°; horizontal adjustment angle: ±5°) so that it is set up level.

Maximum amount of shift

The maximum amount of vertical shift is restricted by the amount of horizontal shift made. The amount of shift is defined as follows: With the screen width taken as 1, horizontal shift is defined as a ratio (%) of the screen width, while with the screen height taken as 1, vertical shift is defined as a ratio (%) of the screen height.

Connecting the Power Cord (Supplied)

After all devices have finished being connected, connect the projector’s power cord. At this time, do not turn on the MAIN POWER switch yet.

■ Preparation

Attach a plug which matches your wall outlet, to the power cord. For how to attach a plug, consult your dealer or a local service center.

1 Insert the supplied power cord into the

power input terminal (AV IN ~) of the projector.

1.Remove the power input terminal cover.

The cover is a screwed type. Turn the cover in the direction of the arrow to remove.

2.Insert the projector plug of the supplied power cord into the power input terminal of the projector.

Align the groove on the projector plug of the power cord with the claw on the power input terminal of the projector, and push the plug in firmly. After that, turn the ring on the plug in the direction of the arrow to fix.

■ To use the projector

• Remove the lens cap.

CAUTION

• Be sure to remove the cap; otherwise, it may be deformed (or degraded in quality) or melted, possibly causing a fire or malfunction.

Lens cap

CAUTIONS

To prevent fire and electric shock, observe the following:

• When you do not use devices, pull out their power cords from wall outlets.

• Do not connect the devices with power cords other than supplied.

• Do not use voltage other than the power voltage indicated.

• Do not scar, damage, or work on the power cords. Also, do

not put a heavy object on, heat or pull the power cords, otherwise they may be damaged.

• Do not insert or pull out the plugs with a wet hand.

2 Insert the plug of the supplied power cord

into a wall outlet.

CAUTIONS

• Since the power requirement of the projector is high, be sure to insert the power plug directly into a wall outlet.

• This projector requires a single phase, 3-wire, 200V ~ 240V wall outlet.

Connecting to Various Devices

When Turning On the Devices Connected to the Projector

Turn on the switches of the projector and the devices connected in the following order. Skip over unconnected devices if there is any.

Power switch of the monitor of the computer which provides input to the projector

Peripheral devices of the computer which provides input to the projector

(Hard disk, magneto optical disk, scanner, etc.)

Power switch of AV devices which provide input to the projector

Projector itself

Power switches of devices to which the projector provides output

(AV devices and display monitor)

Power switch of the computer which provides input to the projector

* When turning off the power switches, do so in the reverse order.

CAUTIONS and NOTES

Do not turn off the MAIN POWER switch suddenly while the projector is being used or immediately after it has been used. This could cause a malfunction.

• Since the projector uses a high-intensity lamp and is heated to high temperature, cooling fans are operating even during projection. So, after use, the cooling fans continue to run until the light-source lamp is sufficiently cooled down after the OPERATE button was pressed. During the cooling-down, never turn off the main power switch. Turn it off only after the cooling fans (except the one for the light-source lamp power supply) have stopped running. (The cooling fans will run for about 10 minutes after the STAND BY indicator has changed from flashing (for about 20 seconds) to steady lighting.)

• If you press the OPERATE button immediately after the light-source lamp lights, it takes about 30 seconds for the lamp to go off. To turn the lamp on again, wait 20 seconds or more before pressing the OPERATE button.

When the TEMP indicator lights, the power turns off automatically.

• While the light-source lamp is on, if an abnormal temperature rise is detected, the TEMP indicator comes on, the power is automatically cut off, and the projector’s EMERGENCY indicator blinks (goes into an emergency mode).

When the EMERGENCY indicator blinks, turn off the main power switch after the fans have stopped running.

• If the following abnormality occur to the projector, it goes into an emergency mode (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks). When the projector goes into an emergency mode, it stops projecting automatically and the cooling fans will continue to run for about 10 minutes more before they stop (except the cooling fan for the light-source lamp power supply which continues running as long as the MAIN POWER switch is on).

–When the light-source lamp suddenly goes off. –When the fans stop running. –When the temperature inside rises abnormally high.

• When the projector goes into an emergency mode:

After the fans have stopped, turn off the MAIN POWER switch and pull out the power cord. After that, re-insert the power cord and try to operate the projector. If it goes into emergency again, after the fans have stopped, turn off the main power switch, pull out the power cord, and consult your authorized dealer or service center for repair.
