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 below.)

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 reﬂ ecting on the screen

• makes the projected images washed-out and hard to view.

Basic setup

Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the images to be projected. (See page 12.)

Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may ﬂ ow into the intake

• vent, causing the projector to display “TEMPERATURE!!” and then stop projecting images.

Connecting to video equipment having a HDMI terminal or DVI-D terminal

You can project high-quality images by connecting the HDMI IN terminal of this projector to video equipment having a HDMI output terminal or DVI-D terminal of this projector to video equipment having a DVI-D output terminal. In addition, this projector supports HDCP and is able to receive encrypted digital video data that are output from DVD players.

Select HDMI or DVI as the input source.

• HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), developed by Intel Corporation, is a method to encrypt digital

• video data for the purpose of copy protection. HDMI (High-Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface) is fully backward compatible with computers, displays and consumer

• electronics devices incorporating the DVI standards. This projector can be linked with video devices equipped with HDMI output terminal or DVI-D output terminal.

• However, with some of them, this projector may not display any image or not operate correctly. If this projector doesn’t display any image or not operate correctly, see the operation manual of the video device

• for its connection. When you use the video equipment other than HDMI conformity product, the image may not be projected

• properly. Use of a long cable may decrease the quality of projected images.

•

Connection (for video equipment having an HDMI terminal)

Use a commercially available HDMI (with HDMI logo) cable.

• Some cables may not be connected correctly depending on the size and shape of their connectors.

• To connect a second HDMI device, connect it to the DVI-D (HDCP) IN terminal using a DVI-HDMI conversion

• cable.

Viewing video images (continued)

When you connect this projector and a DVI-Digital device (such as a DVD player) via the HDMI terminal or DVID (HDCP) terminal, black color may appear dark and deep, depending on the type of the connected device.

This depends on the black level setting of the connected device. There are two kinds of methods to digitally

• transfer image data, in which different black level settings are employed respectively. Therefore, the speciﬁ cations of the signals output from DVD players differ, depending on the type of the digital data transfer method they use. Some DVD players are provided with a function to switch the methods to output digital signals. When your DVD

Replacing the lamp

This projector is equipped with a lamp to project images. This lamp is a consumable. It may burn out or its brightness may decrease during use. In such cases, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. Be sure to replace the lamp with a new lamp sold separately that is exclusive to this projector. Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.

Spare lamp VLT-HC5000LP

Warning:

Be careful not to drop the lamp ﬁ xing screws inside of the projector. Don’t put a metal piece or ﬂ ammable object

• into the projector. Using the projector with any foreign object present inside may result in electric shock or ﬁ re. When you can’t remove the foreign object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal. Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn’t installed properly, it won’t illuminate. Improper installation

• may also result in ﬁ re. Don’t shake the removed lamp or don’t lift it above your face. Your eyes may be injured by ﬂ ying or falling glass

• fragments. Don’t replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover will be very hot. You may get burned. Turn

• off the power using the POWER button. After the lamp goes out, wait about two minutes until the intake and exhaust fans for cooling the lamp stop rotating. Then unplug the power cord, and wait at least one hour to allow the lamp to cool down enough to the touch. Do not touch the lamp directly. It may break and cause injury or burn.

•

Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 5000 hours*1*2 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 5000 hours*1*2. Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 3750 hours*1, the indicator will blink alternately between green and red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for one minute everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 4750 hours*1, the replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will appear on the screen for one minute every 25 hours*1 thereafter.

When the lamp operation time exceeds 5000 hours*1*2, the projector automatically shuts off and can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.

*1 Duration when LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION menu is set to LOW. When it is set to STANDARD, this duration

will be shorted.

*2 Duration when LAMP MODE is set to STANDARD, this duration will be shorted to 2000 hours.

Caution:

Don’t remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the lamp may result in a

• breakdown. This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure mercury lamp may

• explode or fail to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the lamp may explode soon after the start of use. The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. When the instruction

• of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even if the lamp is still lighting normally. When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside the lamp box and

• the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor immediately. In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp exploded, glass fragments may have been scattered inside the

• projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be sure to hold the handle of the lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments. When removing the lamp from the ceiling-mounted projector, use the lamp replacement tray packed with the

• projector or option lamp to prevent glass fragments from scattering. Be sure to use the lamp exclusive to this projector, VLT-HC5000LP. Use of other lamps may cause a failure of the

• projector.

Problem Solution

The screen for entering the password appears.

“NO SIGNAL” is displayed.

Images are not displayed correctly.

Problem Solution

Projected images are shaking. Projected images are displaced.

Projected images are distorted.

Projected images are dark.

Projected images are blurred.

Afterimages persist on the screen.

Red, blue, and green dots appear in projected images. Black dots appear in projected images.

Fine streaks are seen on projected images.

Projected images become wavy.

Hue is not appropriate. Check that the cables connected to the external devices are not broken.• Tint in projected

images is incorrect.

PASSWORD FUNCTION in the FEATURE menu has been set to DISPLAY INPUT to

• enable the password lock.

Enter the password or contact the person in charge of management of the

projector. (See page 34.)

Turn on the power of the connected device, or check whether there is something

• wrong with the connected device. Check whether the external device output signals. (Check this especially when the

• external device is a notebook computer.) Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t defective.

• Check that the projector is connected to the external device using the correct

• terminals. Check that the connected device is correctly selected as the input source.

• When an extension cord is being used, replace it with the supplied cable and check

• whether images are projected correctly. If images are projected correctly, use an RGB signal ampliﬁ er along with the extension cord.

Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent.

• Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector ﬁ rmly.

• Press the AUTO POSITION button.

• Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL

This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly dark image. (Such

• “image burn-in” phenomenon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a stationary image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.)

This phenomenon is unique to LCD projector and isn’t a product malfunction.

• (A small number of pixels always stay on or off, which are not malfunctions. More than

99.99% of the pixels are effective.)

This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace

• the screen or displace the focus a little. Vertical or horizontal streak noise may appear on the projected image, depending on

• the type of the DVD player or game console you use. In such a case, you can reduce such streak noise by enabling the LPF.

Connect the plugs of the cables to external devices securely.

• Keep the projector away from devices that emit interfering radio waves.

•
