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 whitish 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 11.)

• Do not place this projector on a carpet or blanket because the exhaust vent and the intake vent on the bottom surface are blocked and the inside of the projector is heated, causing a breakdown or ﬁ re.

• 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.

A=B

Adjusting the projection angle

This projector is provided with three feet for adjusting the projection angle on the bottom surface. Adjust the projection angle depending on the position of the projector.

Adjustment of the projection angle

For the best projection, project images on a ﬂ at screen installed at 90 degrees to the ﬂ oor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.

Screen

Adjustment feet (rear)

1. Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.

2. Press the foot adjustment buttons next to the adjustment feet (rear), and the adjustment feet will come out.

3. Release the buttons to lock the adjustment feet (rear) to that position.

4. Rotate the adjustment feet (rear) for ﬁ ne adjustment.

After using the projector:

5. Put the adjustment feet (rear) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment buttons.

• If necessary, rotate the adjustment feet (front) for ﬁ ne adjustment.

When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid:

When the screen and the projector are not placed perpendicularly to each other, projected images become trapezoidal. If you cannot make the projector and the screen perpendicular to each other by mechanical adjustments, adjust keystone. (See Page 16.)

• When the keystone adjustment is applied, the correct aspect ratio may not be obtained.

• When the keystone adjustment is applied, the resolution lowers. In addition, vertical stripes appear and straight lines bend in images with complicated patterns. To prevent such symptoms, keep the screen and the projector perpendicular to each other as much as possible.

• Though the projected image may be distorted momentarily when you change the setting value of the keystone adjustment, such symptom is not a malfunction.

• Though the projected image may be distorted depending on the setting value of the keystone adjustment and the type of the input signal, such symptom is not a malfunction. In such a case, adjust the setting value within the range where the projected image is not distorted.

• The setting value displayed at the time of the keystone adjustment may vary depending on the type of the input signal.

• The keystone mode does not function when the REAL mode is applied.

Asking for installation

To view images projected by the ceiling-mounted projector from the front:

When the projector is installed on the ceiling, the special ceiling mount bracket, which is separately sold, is required. Be sure to ask a certiﬁ ed installation specialist for installation of the projector. Contact your dealer for details.

• Mitsubishi assumes no responsibilities for any damage caused by use of other manufacturer's ceiling bracket and by inadequate installation conditions even within the warranty period.

• When installing the projector on the ceiling, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR INVERT.

• Ask your installation specialist to provide a breaker. When you do not use the projector, be sure to shut down the main power by the breaker.

• When the projector is installed on the ceiling, projected images may appear darker than those projected when the projector is installed on the ﬂ oor. This symptom is not a malfunction.

• 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 ﬁ re alarm because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.

To view images projected on the translucent screen from behind:

Be sure to ask a certiﬁ ed installation specialist for installation of the projector. Contact your dealer for details.

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 separately sold that is exclusive to this projector. Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.

WARNING:

• Be careful not to drop the lamp ﬁ xing screws into the 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. You may be injured in your eye by ﬂ ying or falling

glass fragments.

• Don’t replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover is 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.

Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 3000 hours*1 *2 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 3000 hours*1 *2. Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 2250 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 2850 hours*1, the replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will

appear on the screen for one minute every 20 hours*1 thereafter.

When the lamp operation time exceeds 3000 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.

• Don’t replace the lamp while the projector is installed on the ceiling. Glass fragments may fall from the projector,

entering your eye or mouth causing injury.

• When placing the projector upside down to replace the lamp or conduct maintenance, ensure that the projector is

securely placed before working with it.
