Setting up your projector

Setting up the screen

Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See page 11.)

•Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center.

•Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes the projected images washed-out and hard to view.

SCREEN SIZE

You can keep the image display area within the screen by setting SCREEN SIZE in the ADVANCED MENU of IMAGE menu according to the size of the actual screen.

When setting SCREEN SIZE to CINEMA SCOPE(2.35:1):

•CinemaScope size movies are projected in the full screen.

•Set ASPECT in the FEATURE menu to 16:9 when displaying Vista-size images. In this case, they are squeezed horizontally.

•When ASPECT in the FEATURE menu is set to AUTO and 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p, or 1080i/p signal is input, the part for displaying subtitles is not projected. To display subtitles, reset SCREEN SIZE to 16:9 and adjust the image position using VERTICAL LOCATION in the ADVANCED MENU of the IMAGE menu. (To display the menu on the screen, adjust SHUTTER(U) in the SIGNAL - USER menu to position the menu.)

Basic setup

Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the images to be projected. (See

page 12.)

•The best adjustment result can be obtained when the lens is positioned at the center of the lateral direction at the top in the longitudinal direction. Before performing the keystone adjustment, reset the lens position to the default position by using LENS SHIFT RESET (see page 27) and then move it to the top using LENS SHIFT (see page 10).

•When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean a projection angle.

•When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions.

•When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal.

•When the keystone adjustment is performed, the displayed image may be distorted.

•Depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen, a perfect rectangular image and the proper aspect ratio may not be obtained.

Setting up your projector (continued)

Front projection, ceiling mounting

For ceiling mounting,

you need the ceiling mount kit designed

for this projector. Ask a specialist for

installation. For details, consult your dealer.

•The warranty on this projector does not cover any damage caused by use of any non-recommended ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.

•When using the projector mounted on the ceiling, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR INVERT. See page 27.

•When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, images may appear darker than those projected in the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product malfunction.

•Ask your installation specialist to provide an A/C power switch. When you do not use the projector, be sure to shut down the main power by the switch.

•Do not install the projector where the exhaust vents are exposed to air emitted by an air conditioning. Such installation may cause a breakdown.

•Do not install the projector near a fire alarm because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.

Rear projection

Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer.

• For rear projection, set IMAGE

REVERSE in the

INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR. See page 27.

Caution:

•Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate ventilation.

•Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) away from the wall to prevent the air inlet grille and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from being blocked.

•Do not use the projector in the following locations and manners, which may cause fire or electric shock.

•In a dusty or humid place.

•In a sideways position, or with the lens facing down.

•Near a heater.

•In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.

•In direct sunlight.

•Where the temperature rises high, such as in a closed car.

•Where the temperature is lower than +41ºF (or +5ºC) or higher than +95ºF (or +35ºC ).

Important:

•We don’t recommend using the projector at an altitude of 1500 meters or higher. Use at an altitude of 1500 meters or higher may affect the projector’s life.
