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 light-

ning 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, e xtension cords, or con-

venience receptacles on other equipment as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

– 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 ser-

vice 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 dose not operate normally by fol-

lowing 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 exten-

sive 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 e xhibits a distinct change in per-

formance—this indicates a need for service.

– When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician has used replacement parts spec­ified by the manufacturer or with same characteris­tics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

– Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper
operating condition.

– The product should be placed more than one foot

away from heat sources such as radiators, heat reg­isters, stoves, and other products (including ampli­fiers) that produce heat.

– When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and

personal computers, 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.

Reaching Range of Remote Control Unit

To use the remote control unit, train it on the remot control signal receiver provided on the body of the unit. Straight
reaching range is within 33 ft/10 m. Note, however, that when using a remote control unit that is reflected on a
screen, the straight reaching range may become shorter for some types of screen.

WARNING

When a battery used in this unit is removed, use caution so that a little child does not swallow it by mistake.Keep
the batteries away from little children.If a child should swallow it, consult your medical doctor immediately.

CAUTION

Your attention is invited to the following points because err oneous use of the batteries
can result in liquid leak or rupture.

• Load the batteries properly as indicated by the + and – labels.

• Remove the batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

• Do not mix up different types of batteries for use because their properties differ.

• Do not mix new batteries and used batteries for use because the service life of new batteries can be short­ened and there is a fear of liquid leak from the used batteries.

• Remove the batteries as soon as they are out of service.Keeping them inside the unit can lead to liquid leak
that results in the mechanical failure.If you touch the leaked liquid, your skin may be injured, and therefore be
sure to wipe the liquid out immediately. Be careful.

• Depending on the storage condition, the accessory batteries can become weak in a short time. Replace them
with new batteries a little earlier than usual.

• Do not throw the batteries into fire, and do not charge the batteries.

The display sizes of the components to be connected are shown in the following table. If the display size is smaller than 800 x
600, the periphery of a picture becomes black. Caution must be exercised as this phenomenon adversely affects adjacent pic­tures when the pictures are used in a line coming close with one another vertically and horizontally by using a plural number of
LCD projectors. In case of a resizing display, there is a case where the picture quality becomes more deteriorated than that of
the window display due to electrical correction. Also, video signals are different in picture quality from the picture that becomes
a source because the video signals undergo an electrically simplified digitization.
Connection of the unit to the S-VIDEO terminal disables the projection of a picture entered from the VIDEO IN terminal.

CAUTION

When you connect the television, video, computer, game machine, etc., to this unit, carefully read the instruction manuals of
respective components before starting with connection. Do not forget to turn off the power of the unit before connection, and
observe given instructions.
When the power cord is connected, this unit becomes powered and enters into sleep mode.Eyes can be exposed by mistake to
the light of high brightness resulting in impaired eyesight when a lamp is lit by inadvertently pressing a button during connection
with other components.The connection of the power cord is recommended to be performed after completing the connection with
other components and the installation of this unit explained below.
