Features
• Newly developed 0.65-inch 1080p DMD™ chip provides significantly improved optical efficiency and excellent contrast ratio.
• Newly developed LVDS (Low voltage differential signal) chip eliminates Color Breaking phenomena common with previous generation DLP™ projectors.
• Use of high-output lamp realizes both high color purity and high brightness. Natural images
made possible by high color reproducibility can be created with high-brightness, powerful
expression capabilities.
• New i/p conversion algorithm enhances the performance of the motion detect i/p conversion.
• Extensive improvements on the jagged edges or slanted lines in moving images.
• New Edge Up-Scaling.
• As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines,
even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480i/p can be projected by converting them to
1920X1080 resolution images.
• New Film Mode Function.
• 3:2 pull down enhancement for 480i and 2:2 for 576i signals, but HDTV 1080i signals as well.
• Use of a HDMI/HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and projection to be performed digitally, resulting in the realization of all-digital projection without any
data loss due to analog conversion. This also supports the building of home theaters using
HTPC.
• Provides the new Brilliant Color™ algorithm which provides enhancement to the functions of
degamma, and Spoke light recapture.

place the projector down.
• If the screen is at an angle, the
adjustment feet can be used to adjust
the angle of the image.
Note
• The projector is adjustable up to
approximately 11 degrees from the standard
position.
• When the height of the projector is adjusted,
the image may become distorted
(keystoned), depending on the relative
positions of the projector and the screen.
See page 42 for details on keystone
correction.

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling
directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the
lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen
according to the desired picture size. (See page 22)
An Example of Standard Setup
CONNECTIONS AND SETUP
• The distance from the screen to the projector may
vary depending on the size of the screen.

• The default setting can be used, when placing the
projector in front of the screen. If the projected
image is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to

CONNECTIONS AND SETUP
Info
• When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position
both the projector and the mirror so that the light
does not shine into the eyes of the audience.
Ceiling-mount setup
It is recommended that you use the optional ceiling-
mount bracket for this installation.
Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest
Authorized Service Center or Dealer to obtain the
recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately).
Be sure to adjust the position of the projector to match
the distance (Z) from the lens center position to the
lower edge of the image, when mounting the projector
on the ceiling.
Invert the image by setting “Ceiling + Front” for “PRJ

Cleaning the projector
Unplug the power cord before cleaning the projector.
Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these can damage the finish on the cabinet and operation panel.
Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on the projector.
Do not leave rubber or plastic objects in contact with the projector for long periods as they may damage
the finish of the projector.
Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.
For hard-to-remove dirt, soak a cloth in a neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well and then
wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to test
on a small, inconspicuous area on the projector before using.
Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available blower or lens cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for cleaning
the lens. Do not use any liquid cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the surface of the
lens.
The surface of the lens is easily damaged, do not to scrape or hit the lens.

About the Lamp
The projector lamp has a life of 2000 hours. Maintain proper ventilation to keep the lamp operating
throughout its lifetime. Do not subject the projector to unnecessary vibration to ensure that the
lamp does not break.
It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 2,000 cumulative hours
of use or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The number of hours
the lamp has been used can be checked with “Lamp Timer” in the “Options” menu on the menu screen.
For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
The actual lamp service life may be less than 2000 hours depending on the environment in which the
projector is used.
Caution Concerning the Lamp
This projector uses a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure is
caused by excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to usage.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and
the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated or are flashing, it is
recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be
operating normally.
If the lamp breaks glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be
vented into the room from the exhaust vent. As the gas in this lamp contains mercury, ventilate the room
well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult
with a doctor as soon as possible.
If the lamp breaks, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside the projector.
If this happens, it is recommended you contact your nearest Authorized Dealer to remove the damaged
lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
CAUTION! Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The
lamp will be hot and touching it can lead to burn or injury. Wait at least one hour after the
power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing
the lamp unit.
