Installation
Orientation of the projector
Picture size can be set by changing the distance between the screen and the projector.
Front projection
To find the approximate distance be­tween the projector and screen: Multiply the width of the screen
X 1.9 (min.) , Multiply the width of the
screen X 2.4 (max.).
• Refer to the chart for recommended distances in maximum zoom and minimum zoom.
Ceiling mount, Rear projection

• Placing the projector on a carpet reduces ventila­tion from the fan at the bottom and might cause problems. Place a hard board or similar item under the projector to facilitate ventilation of the unit.
• Place the projector more than 50 cm (20 inch) from the wall to prevent blocking the intake, exhaust slots and ventilation of this projector because hot air comes out of it.
• Do not use the projector under the following circumstances, which may cause fire or electric shock.
• in a dusty or humid place
• while the projector is lying sideways or upside
down
• near a heater
• in a kitchen or oily, smoky or damp place
• in direct sunlight
• with high temperature, such as a closed car
• where the temperature is lower than 41°F or
higher than 95°F
Important:
• Do not add stress on the lens, as this may cause damage.

Caution:
Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any main­tenance on the projector.
Cleaning the air-filter
Clean the air-filter frequently (about once a month). If the filter or ventilation slots become clogged with dirt or dust, the temperature inside of the projector may rise and cause some troubles, such as damage of in­side parts, and shortening the life of panel.
When the temperature inside of the projector rises, the TEMP indicator blinks in red, and the power will be shut off to be stand-by which LAMP indicator is turned off.
For side air outlet grill
1. To remove the filter cover, press the ridged area gently, push the cover in the direction of the arrow and lift.

detergent diluted with water to clean the filter. Rinse the filter thoroughly and let it dry completely.
4. Attach the filter to the cover.
5. Reinstall the filter cover.
Important:
If the filter is damaged or becomes extremely dirty, contact your dealer for replacement.
The power will not turn on if the air-filter cover is improperly installed.

Important:
Make sure that your computer and projector are turned off before connection.
Turn on the projector after the computer is started up.
(If you do not follow this order, the Comport may not function.)
If your PC (IBM or IBM compatible) is equipped only with a 25-pin serial port connector, a 25-pin serial port adapter is required. Contact your dealer for details.

This projector uses RXD, TXD and GND lines for RS-232C control. For RS-232C cable,the reverse type cable should be used.
2) Control command diagram
The command is structured by the address code, function code, data code and end code. The length of the command is different by each function.
Address code Function code Data code End code HEX 30h 30h Function Data 0Dh
ASCII '0' '0' Function Data
[Address code] 30h 30h (In ASCII code, '0' '0') fixed. [Function code] A code of each fixed control move. [Data code] A code of each fixed control data (number) and not always indicated. [End code] 0Dh (In ASCII code, ' ') fixed.

3) Control sequence
(1) Send the command from a personal computer to the projector. (The commands must be sent at least
400ms apart.)
(2) The projector will send a return command 400ms* after it has received an end code. If the command is
not received correctly, the projector will not send the return command.
(3) The personal computer checks the command and confirms if the command which has been sent has been
executed or not.
(4) This projector sends various codes other than the return code. When having a control sequence by RS-
232C, reject other codes from personal computer side.
* : The sending time of return command may delay depending on the condition (during changing the input signal, etc.).

When a personal computer sends the command, data code will not be attached. On the other hand, the projector which has received a command will attach the recent operating status and then send. [Example ] Input was Video when the operating status of the input terminal was confirmed.
8) Menu setting commands
The menu setting commands execute the menu setting of this projector. If the personal computer doesnt send the commands without attaching the data code, the projector which has received the command replays the setting data as data code.
