- This product should be operated only with the type of
power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.
- This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug
will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the grounded plug.
- Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors,
plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
- For added protection of this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power line surges.
- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can

- Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltages and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified
service personnel.
-
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the Operation Manual, as an improper adjustment
of controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product
to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance -
this indicates a need for service.
- When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the

stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
- When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and DVD
players, you should turn off the power of this product for
protection against electric shock.
- Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For
example, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas
lighters that present special hazards when over heated.
- Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination
lamp is turned on. Exposure of your eyes to the strong
light can result in impaired eyesight.
- Do not look into the inside of this unit through vents
(ventilation holes), etc. Do not look at the illumination lamp
directly by opening the cabinet while the illumination lamp
is turned on. The illumination lamp also contains ultraviolet

How to Use the Remote Control
Loading Batteries

z If the remote control has to be brought closer to the projector to operate, it means that the batteries are wearing out. When this
happens, replace the batteries. Insert the batteries according to the +- marks.
z Be sure to insert the - end first.
z If an error occurs when using the remote control, remove the batteries and wait for 5 minutes. Load the batteries again and
remote sensor on this unit, ensure that the
distance to the sensor in front or at the rear of
this unit is within 7 m.
z If the remote control fails to work properly,
move closer to this unit.
When reflecting off a screen
Ensure that total of distance A between this
z
unit and screen and distance B between
remote control and screen is within 7 m.
z As the efficiency of signals reflected from the
remote control unit differ with the type of
screen used, operable distance may
decrease.

About Cool Down mode
...............................
z
The Cool Down mode is a function
to cool down the lamp for
approximately 60 seconds after
projection is complete.
This function prevents the internal
parts of the unit from deformation
or damage due to overheating of
the lamp. It also prevents lamp
blowout and premature shortening
of lamp life.
z During Cool Down mode, the
[STANDBY/ON] indicator blinks in
red.
z After the Cool Down mode is
complete, the unit automatically
returns to standby mode.
z Do not pull out the power plug
during Cool Down mode. This may
shorten the lamp life and cause a
malfunction.

require replacement to maintain its functioning. The
estimated time for parts replacement varies greatly
depending on the usage and environment. Please consult
your authorized dealer for replacement.
z This product uses Ricoh TrueType fonts manufactured
z Gently clean dirt on the cabinet with a soft cloth. In the
case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in water, wring dry and
wipe, followed by wiping again with a dry cloth.
Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may
deteriorate in condition or paint may come off.
• Do not wipe with thinner or benzene
• Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide
• Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic
products
Dirt in the air inlets
z Use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt. Otherwise, use
a cloth to wipe off the dirt. If dirt is allowed to accumulate
in the air inlets, the internal temperature cannot be
adjusted and this may cause a malfunction.
Dirt on the lens
z Clean the dirt using commercial blowers or lens cleaning
papers for cleaning glasses and cameras.
Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to
peeling of the surface coating film.
Before transporting or shipping this unit, attach the buffer
material on the top and bottom of the lens for protection.
Failure to do so may subject the lens to shock causing
damage.
Attach the buffer material after adjusting the lens to the
center position.

Mounting this Unit
Measures to prevent the unit from toppling or dropping should be taken for safety reasons and accident prevention
during emergencies including earthquakes.
When mounting this unit on a pedestal or ceiling, remove the 4 feet on the bottom surface and use all the 4 screw
holes (M5 screws) to mount.
z Special expertise and techniques are required for
mounting this unit. Be sure to ask your dealer or a
specialist to perform mounting.
z Depth of the screw holes (screw length) is 30 mm. Use
screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm.
Using other screws will result in malfunctioning or
cause the unit to drop.
z Regardless whether the unit is still under guarantee, JVC
is not liable for any product damage caused by mounting
the unit with non-JVC ceiling fittings or when the
environment is not suitable for ceiling-mount.
z When using the unit hanging from a ceiling, pay attention
to the surrounding temperature. When a heater is in use,
temperature around the ceiling is higher than expected.
z When mounting to a pedestal, ensure sufficient space
(foot height of 21.5 mm or higher) around the unit so that
the air inlets are not blocked.
z Do not tilt this unit more than ±5 degrees from side to side
when using. This may result in uneven colors or shortening
of lamp life.
