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 accumulated 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 MITSUBISHI 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

Features

Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The XD20A Data Projector
The XD20A 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 1000 ANSI lumens, small size, and weighing only about 1.5 kilograms/3.3 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 efficiency we 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 cover the vents on the bottom or the side of the unit.
Installation Guidelines (normal installation)
This section explains how to determine the screen size you use. Use the following table and charts as a guide. Optimum focal point from the lens surface is as follows:
3.9 feet - 30.8 feet / 1.2 m - 9.4 m
Screen height
Screen width
Screen size (diagonal)
Notes
• The range of error is +/- 5% because the distances are calculated values.
•Move the unit to the position where the projected image is horizontally centered to the screen.
• 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).
•To raise the projection position, place the unit on the stable table.
• If strong light falls on the remote sensor , the remote control may not function. Do not place the unit in direct lightning.
•For best results, do not expose the screen to direct sunlight or strong light.

Connections

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)
