Intake area (filter)

9, w

Air is taken in through this area to cool the light-source
lamp. If this area is blocked or if something that obstructs
taking-in or exhausted air is placed around the projector,
heat may build up inside and could cause a fire.
For details, refer to “Precautions for Installation” on pages
17 and 18.

CAUTIONS

• Be careful as paper, cloth or soft cushion could be drawn in if placed
nearby. Do not block the intake area, or heat may build up and could
cause a fire.

• Clean the filter periodically. Deposition of dirt on the filter works to
reduce the cooling effect, causing heat to build up inside, which could
cause a fire or malfunction.
For details, refer to “Cleaning and Replacing the Filters” on pages
48 and 49.

Exhaust vent (for the light-source lamp power supply)

e

This vent dischrages warm air from the cooling fan for the
light-source lamp power supply. This fan continues running
as long as the MAIN POWER switch is on.

Exhaust vents

p, q

Vents for cooling fans through which warm air comes out.

To remove the handles

Remove two screws fixing the handle to the projector
with a hex wrench.

• Keep the handles and screws for future use.

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 the surrounding.
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 short­circuiting.

• Use only designated batteries.

• Remove the batteries if not used for a prolonged period

of time.

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

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

• Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use.

But the batteries supplied are for confirming operation
and may not run that long. When the remote control unit
starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with
new ones.

Installing the Projector (Cont.)

Installing the Projector against the Screen

The projector should be placed so that the center line of the lens is at a right angle to the screen as shown in the following
figures.

■ Normal projection

■ Inclined projection

■ Projection through the glass

• The brightness of the video image reduces when it is pro­jected through the glass. It is not recommended that the
video image is projected through the plural glasses.

• Even if the projector is not installed at right angles to the
glass, you can enjoy the projection through the glass. In
this case, adjust the position of the projector and/or the
glass to avoid the diffused reflection.

■ Projection using stack configuration

Up to three 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.

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 the lens does not either move up or down
by your lens shift adjustment using the buttons on the remote control
unit or the setting menu, the shift center lock pin might not have
been removed. In this case, consult your dealer or service center.

20

• When using the stack configuration, first install the frame
specially designed for the stack configuration. Decide the
installation place in the point of stability and efficiency for
ventilation.

• For the stack configuration, you need to use the lens with
the shift function.

Installing the Projector (Cont.)

Projection Distance and Screen Size

The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (not supplied) 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 Approximate projection distance

GL-MQ1010G 3.9 ft (1.2 m) to 25.9 ft (7.9 m)
GL-MQ1015SG 5.6 ft (1.7 m) to 40.3 ft (12.3 m)
GL-MQ1020ZG 26.2 ft (8.0 m) to 280.3 ft (85.5 m)
GL-MQ1023SZG 28.2 ft (8.6 m) to 276.1 ft (84.2 m)

The value for projection distance is a guide (reference). The projected image size may vary depending on the manufactur­ing tolerance of the projection lens.

Change of projection screen according to
aspect ratio

Screen with 4 : 3 aspect ratio

Screen with 16 : 9 aspect ratio

• For detailed relation between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix. The relation for both 4:3 and

16:9 are listed there.

• When adjusting the screen size, use a 4:3 aspect-ration picture. (A 16:9 aspect-ration picture is projected, based on the width

of a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.)

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

■ 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 dealer to buy and install the lens.

Lens Shift Function

Some of the separately sold lenses have a lens shift function.

For the lens with the lens shift function: When the lens shift is set to 50%, install the projector so that the bottom edge of
the projection screen is at the same height as the center of the lens. When the lens shift is set to –50%, install the projector so
that the top edge of the projection screen is at the same height as the center of the lens .

For the lens without the lens shift function or when the lens shift is set to 0%: Install the projector so that the center of the
projection screen is at the same height as the center of the lens.

• When using the lens with the shift function, you can adjust the projected image vertically using the setting menu or the SHIFT
+/– buttons on the remote control unit.

• When using the projectors in stack configuration (stacked one over another), make adjustment so that the picture of each
projector overlaps exactly using the lens shift function. If the horizontal adjustment is needed, consult your dealer.

• For detailed adjustment procedures, refer to pages 38 and 46.

• For maximum amount of shift, refer to “Maximum amount of shift” on page 23. (When the lens needs to be adjusted in

horizontal angles, consult your dealer.)

Effective Range and Distance of the Remote Control Unit

The remote control unit can be used as either a wireless remote control unit or a wired one.

■ Using as a wireless remote control unit

Aim the remote control unit as the remote sensor on the front or control panel of the projector.
The operable distance of the remote control unit is about 32.8 ft (10 m) for direct reception. The remote control unit can be used
by having its signal reflected on the screen. In this case, the total distance of “A + B” should be about 32.8 ft (10 m) or less. The
operable angles of the remote control unit are 50° horizontally, 15° vertically.

■ Using as a wired remote control unit

Connect the supplied remote control cable between the remote control unit and the REMOTE terminal on the connector panel
of the projector.
Using it as a wired remote control unit, you do not have to worry about the operable angle of the unit, though the operable
distance is limited by the length of the remote cable (approx. 49.2 ft (15 m)).

Note

• When the remote control unit is used as a wired unit, its signal transmitter and projector’s remote sensor do not work.

CAUTION

• Do not extend the remote cable. Doing so could cause a malfunction of the projector.

• The RGB signals whose dot (pixel) clock is lower than 25 MHz or over 280 MHz are not available.

• The SVGA signals whose dot (pixel) clock is lower than 50 MHz are not available.

• When you want to input NTSC signal, make the signal twice as dense by a line doubler.

• The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on this page.

Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range. A video signal out of the
range cannot be used. (Even signals out of the range could be projected. However, it may not be 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 this page is input, the image could be partially erased or an unneeded fold­over image could appear.
Even signals within the frequency range may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal.

■ Analog HD signals

The HDTV interlaced signals can be input to the input terminal of the Analog HD VIC. NTSC is not available.

■ Digital HD signals

The digital HD signals can be input to the input terminal of the HD-SDI VIC as the SDI format (and can be output through).
