Cleaning
• Disconnect the power cable (mains lead) from the unit.
• Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If
heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents
or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
• Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to
scratch or mar the lens.
• Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit
periodically using a vacuum cleaner . If accumula ted dust blocks
the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the
unit to malfunction.
Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner . Do
not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice tool, to prevent the
damage to the unit.
Lamp Replacement
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status indicator comes on.
If you continue to use the lamp after 1000 hours of usage, the
lamp will turn off.
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are
unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Allow
at least 10 cm (3 inches) of space between the unit and walls.
• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from
falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that
fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or
screwdriver into the unit. If something should fall into the unit,
immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have
the object removed by a qualified service person.
• Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.
• Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage
to your eyes could result.
Carrying around
When carrying the unit around, please use the carrying case that
comes with it and, to protect the lens from scratches, always shut
the sliding lens cap. Also, do not subject the unit to strong
mechanical shock.

Basic information and preparations
Checking the
Features
Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The LVPX30U Data Projector
The LVP-X30U is one of the most spectacular data projectors
available today. The unit enables you to project precise images up
to 200 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or
Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc.
The unit can be placed on a tabletop or cart. The unit can also be
used to project images from behind the screen.
* Consult your dealer for more information.
The other main features you’ll enjoy
• Compatible with following various color systems:
– NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
– PAL (Western Europe standard)
– SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
– NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)
• Superior brightness of 800 ANSI lumens, small size, and
weighing only about 1.4 kilograms/3.1 lbs.
Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical
design we have developed a geometric effect that increases the
light usage efficiency . By increasing the light usage ef ficiency w e
can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for
color reproduction on a single DMD. This means superior brightness, smaller size, and lighter weight.
• Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the
individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear
reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look
and notice the difference in quality!
• Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors
when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality
data/video sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image
displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the
true image display quality of the unit.
• Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the
line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of
vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the keystone correction function.
• Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these
projectors to present clear compression SXGA images without any
line omission.
• A remote control that can operate the PC or Macintosh
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a
wireless mouse control to operate the PC or Macintosh connected to the unit.
• The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary
design complements any office, board room, or auditorium.

Installation
The distance from the unit lens to the screen determines to the size of the projected image, therefore, you need to consider the place where you
set up the unit and screen before making connections. You also need to consider the screen size and height of the unit and screen as other
important factors.
Tip
A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.
WARNING
• Carrying the unit
Always carry the unit in the carrying case. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected
before moving the unit. When moving the unit or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the sliding lens cap.
• Only use the unit on a solid flat level surface. If the unit falls to the ground, you may be injured and the unit may severely be damaged.
• Do not use the unit where temperatures vary greatly. The unit must be used at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).
• Do not expose the unit to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around the unit to allow heat dissipation. Do not cov er the vents on the bottom or the side of the
unit.
Positioning the unit
The projected image becomes larger as the distance between the unit and screen increases. The minimum image size is about 36 inches
diagonally at a distance of about 1.2 m (approx. 3.9 feet) and the maximum size is approx. 200 inches at a distance of 6.8 m (approx. 22.3 feet)
from the screen. Use the following information when you fix the position of the unit.

Connecting video equipment
You can connect up to two pieces of video equipment to the unit following the illustrations below.
• You can switch the input source (picture) to VIDEO or S-VIDEO when you connect two pieces of equipment.
(The S-VIDEO connection provides more vivid color and higher resolution compared to the VIDEO connection.)
• You can output the sound of only one component through the unit speaker even when two components are connected.
When connecting two external units, the audio from either one of these units can be output from the speaker of this device. Audio can be
turned on and off for video related input (video, S-video) from the menu or RGB (or YCbCr) input. (see page 28)
