About DDC
The COMPUTER/COMPONENT VIDEO IN-1 terminal of this projector complies with the DDC 1/2B standard. When a computer supporting this
standard is connected to this terminal, the computer will automatically load the information from this projector and prepare for output of appropriate
images.
• After connecting a computer supporting this standard to this terminal, plug the power cord of the projector in the wall outlet first, and then boot up
the computer.
EN-12
Preparation
Preparation for projection
1. Attach the provided power cord to the projector.
2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.
3. Remove the lens cap.
Warning:
• Do not look into the lens directly when the projector is on.
• The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave the lens cap on
the lens with the projector turned on, it may be deformed because
of heat build-up. Remove the lens cap when you turn on the projector.
• One of power cords for the U.S., Europe and U.K. is provided
appropriately.
• This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do
not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. If the power
plug doesn’t fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the
wall outlet.
• In case that the power cord for the U.S is provided with this projec-
tor, never connect this cord to any outlet or power supply using
other voltages or frequencies than rated. If you want to use a
power supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an appropriate power cord separately.
• Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock.
• Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the
projector near heat sources to prevent damage to the power cord.
If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for
replacement because it may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified
or altered, it may cause fire or electric shock.
Caution:
• Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the
power plug, not the power cord.
• Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may
cause electric shock.
Adjustment of the projection angle
For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90
degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two
adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.
Using the adjustment feet (front)
1. Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.
2. Rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment.
Important:
• Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor.
• Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left) or ±15° (front
and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt
the projector up to 8 degrees using the adjustment feet only.
• Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or
with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of
the projector and the screen.
• When AUTO KEYSTONE in the INSTALLATION menu is set to
ON, this projector automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. For fine adjustment, press the KEYSTONE button on the
remote control to display KEYSTONE, and adjust the image by
pressing the S or T button (or VOLUME S or T button) on the
remote control.
In the following cases:
Press the T
button.
• The automatic keystone adjustment may not be carried out correctly because of the ambient temperature and the installation
conditions of the projector and the screen. In such cases, correct
the keystone manually.
• When the projector is projecting images where acceleration is
present, such as in a vehicle and aircraft, the automatic keystone
adjustment may not function correctly. In such a case, set AUTO
KEYSTONE in the INSTALLATION menu to OFF and correct the
keystone manually.
• You can correct the vertical keystones. However, their adjustment
ranges are limited in such correction.
Press the S
button.
Important:
• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment
value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean a projection
angle.
• The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone
adjustment varies depending on the installation conditions.
• When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution
decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may
bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to
product malfunctions.
• Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment
because of the type of the video signal being projected and the
setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the
keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is displayed without noise.
• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not
be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal.
