Ceiling mounting the projector

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If not, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a proper projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. We recommend that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is the lamp. See page 39.

Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.

Please keep the original packing for possible future shipment. If you need to pack your projector after use, adjust the projection lens to an appropriate position, put the lens cushion around the lens, and fit the lens cushion and projector cushion together to prevent damage during transportation.

When you think service or repair is required, take the projector only to a suitably qualified technician.

Important safety instructions

Moisture condensation

Never operate the projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a hot location. When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the crucial internal parts. To prevent the projector from possible damage, do not use the projector for at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change in temperature.

Avoid volatile liquids

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or certain types of cleaner, near the projector. Do not have rubber or plastic products touching the projector for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. If cleaning with a chemically treated cloth, be sure to follow the cleaning product’s safety instructions.

This projector supports playing three-dimensional (3D) content transferred through your 3D-compatible video devices and contents, such as PlayStation consoles (with 3D game discs), 3D Blu-ray players (with 3D Blu-ray discs), 3D TV (with 3D channel), and so on. After you have connected the 3D video devices to the projector, wear the DLP link 3D glasses and make sure the power is on to view 3D contents.

When watching 3D contents,

• the image may seem misplaced, however, this is not a product malfunction.

• take appropriate breaks when watching 3D content.

• stop watching 3D content if you feel fatigue or discomfort.

• keep a distance from the screen of about three times the effective height of the screen when watching 3D content.

• children and people with a history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing medical condition should be refrained from watching 3D content.

The default setting is Auto and the projector automatically chooses an appropriate 3D format when detecting 3D contents. If the projector cannot recognize the 3D format, manually choose a 3D mode according to your preference.

When this function is enabled:

• the brightness level of the projected image decreases.

• the Picture Mode cannot be adjusted.

• the Vertical Keystone can only be adjusted within limited degrees.

When your 3D image is distorted, enable this function to switch between the image for the left eye and the right eye for more comfortable 3D viewing experience.

This function utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality, select On. Selecting Off disables BrilliantColor™, and Color Tem per atu re becomes unavailable for access at the same time.

The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the connected input signal.

• High: Makes pictures appear bluish white.

• Middle: Maintains normal colorings for white.

• Low: Makes pictures appear reddish white.

3D Color Management

The illustration shows how the colors relate to each other.

For example, if you select R and set its range at 0, only pure red is selected. Increasing its range will include both the red color close to yellow and red color close to magenta.

4. Press to select Saturation* and use / to adjust its values. Every adjustment made reflects to the image immediately. For example, if you select R and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

5. Press to select Brightness and use / to adjust its values. Every adjustment made reflects to the image immediately. For example, if you select R and set its value at 0, only the brightness of pure red will be affected.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you have made all of the desired adjustments.

7. When done, press MENU to exit.

*About saturation

It is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

• To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase a qualified projector lamp for lamp replacement.

• Ensure good ventilation when handling broken lamps. We recommend that you use respirators, safety glasses, goggles or face shield and wear protective clothing such as gloves.

1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the power outlet. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.

2. Loosen the screws that secure the lamp cover on the top of the projector until the lamp cover loosens.

3. Push the lamp cover open.

4. Remove the lamp cover from the projector.

5. Confirm a position of the lamp protection film to put a new film on the same position later, then remove and dispose of the lamp protection film.

• Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover removed.

• Do not insert your fingers between the lamp and the projector as the sharp edges inside the projector may cause injuries.

6. Loosen the screw that secures the lamp.

7. Lift the handle so that it stands up.

Maintenance

8. Use the handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the projector.

• Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break and scatter broken glass in the projector.

• Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on it, children can reach it, or near flammable materials.

• Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp is removed. If you touch the optical components inside, it could cause color unevenness and distortion of the projected images.

9. As shown in the illustration, lower the new lamp.

10.Tighten the screw that secures the lamp.

11. Ensure the handle is fully laid flat and locked in place.

• Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which could result in malfunction.

• Do not over tighten the screw.

12.Replace the lamp protection film.

13.Replace the lamp cover on the projector.

14.Tighten the screws that secure the lamp cover.

• Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which could result in malfunction.

• Do not over tighten the screw.

15.Connect the power and restart the projector.

Maintenance

16.After the startup logo displays, reset the lamp timer via the OSD menu.

Do not reset if the lamp is not new or replaced as this could cause damage.

A "Reset Successfully" message displays to notify that the lamp time has been reset to "0".
