Lamp Handling Precautions

DANGER

The P-VIP lamp is a high voltage glass mercury vapor lamp. The
lamp can break or fail to light if handled wrongly during replacement
or because of temperature in the room where the projector is being
used or stored.
Lamp life also varies according to the lamp with some even breaking or
burning out as soon as they are used the first time. If the lamp breaks,
glass fragments may be scattered inside the lamp unit and projector,
and mercury gas from the bulb may seep from the projector’s vent.
Before use, carefully read the User Guide of the projector and the
Lamp Replacement Instructions. Remember to handle the lamp with
care. In the event of serious trouble, call for Marantz authorized dealer.

• Never look directly into the lamp with unprotected eyes while lit.
The bright light can cause sore eyes and impair vision.

• Never directly expose skin to the light of the lamp. Direct exposure
can inflame the skin.

• Do not drop, impact, subject to excessive force or otherwise damage
the lamp.

• Replacing the lamp runs the risk of burns and electric shock,
therefore shut off power supply, unplug the AC power cable from
its electrical outlet and wait at least 60 min for the lamp to cool
down before attempting to replace it.

• If the lamp breaks, unplug the AC power cable from its electrical
outlet and call for Marantz authorized dealer to replace it. Do not
replace the lamp yourself or clean up broken glass inside the
projector as this can result in cuts as well as scratching inside the
projector.

• If the projector is hung from a ceiling or installed in a high place,
it is extremely dangerous to replace the lamp. In this case, do not
replace or service the lamp yourself.

CAUTION

• The chance of the lamp breaking is high after extended use. It is
recommended to replace the lamp when near the end of its
designed life. Do not use a lamp beyond the maximum lighting
time.

• Use only Marantz original lamp units. Check the model code of
the lamp unit matches that in this User Guide.

• Before replacing the lamp, read carefully “Lamp Unit Replacement”
in this User Guide. Replace the lamp as explained therein.

• Entrust disposal of a used lamp to a licensed industrial waste
handler or return it to the place of purchase. Do not break the
lamp or discard with general waste.

• If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately and stay away for
at least 30 min, and ventilate the room so as not to inhale the
mercury vapor.

• If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a physician immediately.

Précautions à prendre pour
manipuler la lampe

DANGER

La lampe P-VIP est une lampe à vapeur de mercure en verre à haute
tension. La lampe peut se casser ou ne pas s'allumer si elle est
manipulée de manière incorrecte pendant son remplacement ou du
fait de la température dans la pièce où le projecteur est utilisé ou
rangé.
La durée de service des lampes varie aussi en fonction de la lampe,
certaines se cassant ou grillant même dès leur première utilisation.
Si la lampe se casse, des fragments de verre peuvent s'éparpiller à
l'intérieur de l'unité lampe et du projecteur, et le mercure de
l'ampoule peut fuir par l'orifice de ventilation du projecteur.
Avant d'utiliser la lampe, lisez attentivement le Guide de l'utilisateur
du projecteur et les Instructions de remplacement de la lampe.
Pensez à manipuler la lampe avec précautions. En cas de problème
sérieux, contactez un distributeur agréé Marantz.

• Ne regardez jamais directement la lampe sans vous protéger les
yeux lorsqu'elle est allumée. La forte lumière pourrait irriter vos
yeux et affaiblir votre vue.

• N'exposez jamais directement la peau à la lumière de la lampe.
Une exposition directe peut enflammer la peau.

• Ne laissez pas tomber la lampe, ne la heurtez pas, ne lui appliquez
pas de force excessive ou ne la détériorez pas.

• Le remplacement de la lampe fait courir un risque de brûlures et de
décharge électrique ; coupez l'alimentation, débranchez le câble
d'alimentation secteur de sa prise électrique et attendez au moins 60
min. que la lampe refroidisse avant d'essayer de la remplacer.

• Si la lampe se casse, débranchez le câble d'alimentation secteur
de sa prise électrique et contactez un distributeur agréé Marantz
pour qu'il la remplace. Ne remplacez pas la lampe vous-même ni
ne nettoyez le verre brisé à l'intérieur du projecteur, car vous
pourriez vous couper et rayer également l'intérieur du projecteur.

• Si le projecteur est suspendu à un plafond ou est installé dans un
endroit en hauteur, il est extrêmement dangereux de remplacer
la lampe. Dans ce cas, ne remplacez pas ni n'entretenez la
lampe vous-même.

ATTENTION

• Le risque que la lampe se casse est élevé après une utilisation
prolongée. Il est recommandé de remplacer la lampe lorsque la
fin de sa durée de service spécifiée est proche. N'utilisez pas
une lampe au-delà de la durée d'éclairage maximum.

• N'utilisez que des unités lampes d'origine Marantz. Vérifiez que le
code de modèle de l'unité lampe correspond à celui indiqué dans
ce Guide de l'utilisateur.

• Avant de remplacer la lampe, lisez attentivement la section
"Remplacement de l'unité lampe" dans ce Guide de l'utilisateur.
Remplacez la lampe conformément aux explications qui y sont
données.

• Pour jeter une lampe usée, remettez-la à un éliminateur de
déchets industriels agréé ou rapportez-la à l'endroit où vous
l'avez achetée. Ne cassez pas la lampe ni ne la jetez avec les
ordures ménagères.

• Si la lampe se casse, sortez immédiatement de la pièce et n'y
rentrez pas pendant au moins 30 min., puis aérez la pièce afin
de ne pas inhaler la vapeur de mercure.

• Si vous inhalez la vapeur de mercure, consultez immédiatement
un médecin.

The projection distance for projecting a 16:9 image on a 16:9 screen is shown below.

Note : When installing the projector, allow for ±5% tolerance in the above projection distances.

❖ How to calculate projection distance

• When using the LN10VP32 lens

Min. projection distance (inch) = Diagonal (inch) x 1.255
Max. projection distance (inch) = Diagonal (inch) x 1.5688

• When using the LN10VP40 lens

Min. projection distance (inch) = Diagonal (inch) x 1.5688
Max. projection distance (inch) = Diagonal (inch) x 2.0918

• When using the LN10VP53 lens

Min. projection distance (inch) = Diagonal (inch) x 2.0918
Max. projection distance (inch) = Diagonal (inch) x 3.1377
