Installation Precautions

Provide proper ventilation for this projector.
• The projector is equipped with ventilation holes(intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes(exhaust) on the front. Do not block or place anything near these holes. Internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or dam­age to the projector.
Installation
• Do not place the projector on a carpet, rug or other similar surface. It may prevent a adequate ventilation of the pro­jector bottom. This projector should be placed in the plain floor or mounted to the ceiling.
• Never push the projector or spill any kind of liquid into the projector.
Place this projector in adequate temperature and humidity conditions.
• Install this projector only in a location where adequate temperature and humidity is available. (refer page 50)
Don’t place the projector where it can be covered with excessive dust.
• This may cause overheating of the projector.
Do not obstruct the slots and openings of the projector. This may cause overheating and cause 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.
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.

Installation

Basic Operation of the Projector

1. Place the projector on a sturdy and horizontal surface.
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 22.)
4. After placing the projector in its desired location, connect the video input(s). Then connect the power cable to the projector and the wall outlet.
