Reset of the lamp operation time

Plug in the power cord, turn on the lamp, and reset the lamp operation time by keep pressing the $, %, and POWER buttons on the control panel at the same time about three seconds.

Important:

• Unless these three buttons are pressed at the same time, the lamp operation time isn’t reset.

• Make sure that the STATUS indicator is lit twice and the lamp operation time is reset successfully.

• The projector doesn’t turn on if the lamp cover isn’t attached securely.

• Be sure to reset the lamp operation time whenever you replace the lamp.

•Do not reset the lamp operation time unless you replace the lamp.

Caution:

• The lamp is fragile. If it is broken, be careful not to cut yourself with glass fragments.

• Contact your dealer for a new lamp.

Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 2,000 hours of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 2,000 hours. Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 1,500 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 1,900 hours*1, the replacement message (LAMP:>1900H) will appear on the screen for one minute every 10 hours thereafter.

When the lamp operation time exceeds 2,000 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.

*1When LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION menu

is set to STANDARD.

*2When LAMP MODE is set to LOW, this duration

will be extended up to 3,000 hours.

Caution:

• This projector uses a lamp that contains mercury. Disposal of the lamp or the projector with the lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations.

Maintenance

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any maintenance on the projector.

Cleaning of the air-filter

Clean the air-filter frequently (about once a month). If the filter or ventilation grilles become clogged with dirt or dust, the temperature inside the projector may rise and cause troubles, such as damage to the inside parts and shortening the life of the panels.

• When the temperature inside the projector rises, the STATUS indicator will blink red and the lamp will be turned off.

1. Put the projector upside down and raise the lock of the filter cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Remove the air-filter.

3. Wash the air-filter or change it with a new filter.

• Use water or diluted

mild detergent to clean the filter. Rinse the filter thoroughly and let it dry completely.

4. Attach the air-filter.

5. Attach the filter cover to the projector.

• Make sure that the air-filter is attached

correctly without displacement.

Images aren't projected correctly.

Problem

Projected images are shaking. Projected images are displaced.

Projected images are distorted.

Projected images are dark.

Projected images are blurred.

Afterimages persist on the screen.

Red, blue, and green dots appear in projected images. Black dots appear in projected images.

Fine streak pattern appears in projected images.

Projected images (and/ or audio) appear wavy and distorted.

Tint in projected images is incorrect.

Only the motion areas in the images supplied from the computer aren't displayed.

Projected images are obscured.

Cause and solution

• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn't intermittent.

•Connect the cable's plug with the external device's connector firmly.

• Press the AUTO POSITION button.

• Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL menu. (See page 19.)

• Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page

12.)

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)

• Replace the lamp. (See page 24.)

•Adjust the focus. (See page 13.)

• Clean the lens.

• Press the $ or % button on the remote control to eliminate flicker.

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)

• Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page

12.)

• This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such "image burn-in" phenomenon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a stationary image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.)

• This phenomenon is unique to LCD projector and isn't a product malfunction. (A small number of pixels always stay on or off, which are not malfunctions. More than

99.99% of the pixels are effective.)

• It occurs because of interference with the screen and isn't a product malfunction. Change the screen or readjust the focus of the projector.

•Connect the cable's plug with the external device's connector firmly.

• Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radio waves.

• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal. This isn’t a product malfunction. In this case, readjust the keystone so that the amount of keystone correction is as small as possible.

• Check that COMPUTER INPUT in the SIGNAL menu is correctly set. (See page 17.)

• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn't broken.

• This is caused by the computer being used. Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

•Match the output resolution of your computer with the resolution of the projector. For the method to change the output resolution of the computer, contact the manufacturer of your computer. (See page 32.)

• Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In such cases, use the projector without applying the keystone adjustment. (See page 12.)
