Major Features

䡵 Lightweight high-intensity projector

The synergy of the DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) display system and our own optical design serve to improve the optical utilization efficiency. The three primary colors (RGB) required in color expression are reproduced with one DMD (Digital Micromirror Device of high precision). These factors have enabled a design that offers both high intensity and small size/ lightweight features.

䡵 Sharp, clear picture

The DLP™ display system affords RGB color fidelity and inconspicuous gaps between the individual dots, thereby permitting the display of small characters and diagrams with distinct clarity.

䡵 Powerful functions for presentations

A wide variety of easy-to-set functions have been built into the projector, from a digital keystone correction function (used when making settings) that corrects picture distortion, to an auto adjustment function that automatically identifies the PC signal. A presentation timer that supports presentations and a security lock function protecting against unauthorized projection have also been added.

䡵 High contrast ration of 2000:1

Use of a new generation of DMD devices has given birth to an amazing 2000:1 high contrast ratio. By widening the difference of brightness between black and white, you can see a degree of sharpness that is greater than just the brightness based on specifications.

䡵 Beautiful reproduction of high-quality images from DVD

Faithful reproduction of color tones gives rise to the display of natural images. High-quality images such as those from DVD and digital high-definition television broadcasts bring out the display capabilities that are an essential strength of the DLP™ display system projector.

䡵 Lamp-mode switch function for the lamp output

Using the lamp Low-mode will extend the life of the lamp and lower the power consumption. By switching the lamp mode to suit your operating environment, you will save on lamp cost as well as contribute to energy conservation and ecology.

Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment

Connecting this unit with a personal computer permits presentation data to be projected as a large screen display at conferences, lectures, and on other occasions. Furthermore, connecting this unit to a DVD player or other video equipment source in combination with an audio/video amplifier and speaker system will allow you to enjoy convincing home theater.

Connections with Personal Computer

Please check the following before making connections with the personal computer.

• A suitable resolution for the XD70U is 1024 ⳯ 768 dots (XGA) and the maximum displayable resolution is S-XGA (1280 ⳯

1024 dots). Make changes to a displayable resolution at the personal computer side. Please check with “Table of Supported Frequency” on Page E-65.

• The setting method for the personal computer will differ depending on the specific model. Please read the personal computer

instruction manual or the on-line help information, or contact the manufacturer of your personal computer.

Connect the projector’s RGB connector using the included RGB signal cable.

• When making connections with the RGB connector of the projector, please make the connection via the supplied RGB signal

cable.

To Output the External Output Signal of a Notebook Computer

When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connection and notebook computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows notebook startup. Please consult the instruction manual of your notebook computer or the on-line help while performing the following procedure.

Check whether a signal is being sent from the notebook computer to the projector. An indication appearing on the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer does not necessarily mean that an external output signal is being output. REFERENCE: When “Resolution” or “Frequency” is not displayed under “Info.” on the menu of the projector, this means that the external output signal is not being output from the personal computer. See “Resolution/Frequency” on Page E-57.

Should a sign not be output from the notebook computer, please try the operation described below. For an IBM PC/AT compatible computer, press the [Fn] key plus any one of the [F1] to [F10] keys. (See the table below.)

Note:

* When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not

be correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook computer and try the mode with external output only. Try an operation such as that described in aforementioned Step 2 and try closing the liquid crystal panel which might result in external output only.

* In some rare cases, the picture may not be displayed, depending on the connected device.

STATUS

STANDBY

STANDBY indicator

Should an indicator be in a condition other than normal or flash at a rate other than the aforementioned, disconnect the power cable and contact your store of purchase.

Thermal Protector

When the temperature inside the projector becomes abnormally high, the STATUS indicator flashes red (0.5 seconds on/0.5 seconds off), the STANDBY indicator is a steady red, and at the same time the temperature protector operates and switches off the power of the projector. Should this happen, please take the following actions.

1. Switch off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.

2. Check the following matters and take the required measures.

When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, set it up again in a cool location. Check the outflow and intake holes and clean them if they are obstructed.

3. Wait about 60 minutes until the temperature of the projector drops.

If after having performed the above matters, the problem still has not been solved, please contact your store of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Check the following matters before requesting servicing.

• Is the power cord plugged into a power outlet?

• Is the lamp cover properly mounted?

• Is the projector’s temperature high? To protect the projector, the power can- not be turned on when the projector’s temperature is abnormally high.

• Has the lamp reached the end of its service life?

• Is a connected input selected?

• Is the cable properly connected to the input terminal?

• When a computer is connected, are signals being output from the computer?

• Does the signal being input have a frequency usable with this projector?

• Are the brightness and contrast adjusted to the minimum?

• Is the STATUS indicator lit a steady red or flashing red?

• When the component signal of the DVD player is connected with the RGB

connector and the image is not output, is [Input Settings] of the RGB connector properly selected?

• For a RGB input, has the picture been properly adjusted?

• Is the projector properly installed?

• For trapezoidal (keystone) distortion, perform keystone adjustment.

Please note that depending on the projected picture and the projection conditions, it may not be possible to eliminate keystone distortion completely.

• Is the lens properly focused?

• Are the screen and projector installed at the proper distance?

• Does the projection distance exceed the focusing range?

• Is there condensation on the lens, etc.?

If the projector is moved from a cool storage area to a warm place and the power is turned on, condensation may form on the lens or internal optical parts. If this happens, wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the projector.

• For a computer input, are the horizontal and vertical positions properly adjusted?

• Does the input signal have a compatible resolution and frequency? Check the computer’s resolution.

• If the image is crushed in the horizontal or vertical direction or if it is not displayed over the entire screen, select a different aspect ratio.

• When a component signal is being input, is the color space setting proper?

• For a composite input, is the hue properly adjusted?

• From the menu, select “Image” and adjust the clock frequency and phase.

• Other than [Settings], [Option] and [Information], selection will not be pos-

sible unless a signal is being input to the projector and the image/picture is projected.

• Are the remote control unit’s batteries worn? Replace with new batteries.

• Is there an obstacle between the remote control unit and the projector’s

remote control signal sensor?

• Is the remote control unit outside of range?

• Are you pointing the remote control unit’s transmitter towards the projector’s

remote control signal sensor?

• See “When an indicator is lit or flashing”.

Cleaning

• Be certain to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning.

• Do not spray or otherwise expose the projector, lens, or screen to volatile substances such as insecticides. Do not leave rubber

or vinyl products in contact with the projector for long periods. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings may peel, etc.

Cleaning a Soiled Projector Main Unit

• Wipe with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth. When very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been moistened with a diluted neutral detergent, then finish with a dry cloth. If a chemically-treated cloth is going to be used, please follow any written warnings.

• Do not wipe with thinner, benzene, or other solvents. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings may peel, etc.

• When removing the dust of the outflow and intake holes, use the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean out the dust. Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.

• Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will cause scratches.

Dirty Lens

• Clean using the same method you would use to clean a camera lens: Use a commercial blower for camera use or cleaning paper for eye glasses. Be careful not to scratch the lens at this time.

Dust of the Intake and Outflow Holes

Dust that collects in the intake and outflow holes will obstruct the ventilation and cause the internal temperature to rise which could cause damage. Clean this area carefully. As a guideline, clean at least every 100 hours of usage.

• Switch off the power, check that the STANDBY indicator has changed to a steadily lit amber, then unplug the power cable.

• Clean out the holes from the outside using a vacuum cleaner. Use the brush adapter of the vacuum cleaner to do this. Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.

Cleaning the Inside of the Projector

Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact your dealer.

Replacing the Lamp Cartridge

• The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is about 2000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors. Note that lamp life will be extended when the projector is often used in Low mode. (The rated service life of the lamp means the average value of lamp life for lamps that have been manufactured over a long period, and it is derived from test conditions at this company.)

• When the life of the lamp is exceeded, the STATUS indicator lights a steady red and the message [Replace the Lamp Cartridge] is displayed on the screen. When this occurs, it is time to replace the lamp cartridge. Please make the replacement following the procedure below.

• If the projector is used another 100 hours after the lamp’s service life is reached, the power is set to the standby mode and no longer turns on.

• Contact a store that sells the XD70U for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a VLT-XD70LP replacement lamp for the XD70U (order code 41T-577).

CAUTION

• Replacement of the lamp cartridge is performed after switching off the power, waiting for the cooling fan to stop, disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, and then leaving the projector for about 60 minutes before replacement is started. Replacement of the lamp cartridge during operation or immediately after operation stops will cause burns because of the high temperature.

• Do not remove any screws other than those specified.

• Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Doing so could shorten the life of the lamp.

• If lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter. When this happens, an explosive sound can be heard and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp cartridge. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your dealer or the store the projector was purchased.

CAUTION

This projector uses a lamp that contains mercury. Disposal of the lamp or the projector with the lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance : www.eiae.org
