Don’t place the projector where it can be covered with dust.
• This may cause overheating of the projector.
Do not obstruct the slots and openings of the projector. This may cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
This projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue or green) that continuously appear on the projector Screen. This is a normal result of the manufacturing
process and does not indicate a malfunction.
• Leave an adequate distance (30 cm or more) around the
projector.
To display DTV programs, it is necessary to purchase a DTV receiver (Set-top Box) and connect it to the projector.
The remote control may not work when a lamp equipped with electronic ballast or a three-wavelength lamp is installed.
Replace those lamps with international standard products to use the remote control normally.

Installing and Composition
Basic Operation of the Projector
1 . Place the projector on a sturdy and horizontal surface with the PC or AV source.
2 . Place the projector with the desired distance from the screen. The distance between the projector and the
screen determines the actual size of the image.
3 . Position the projector so that the lens is set at a right angle to the screen. If the projector is not set at a
right angle, the screen image will be crooked. Although, slight angles can be counteracted using the
Keystone adjustement. (Refer to page 20.)
4 . Connect the power cable to the projector and the wall outlet after placing the projector in its desired loca-
tion.
