It can lead to lamp breakage, fire, electric shock or
other trouble. Wait for the fan to stop before unplugging the power cord.
Do not touch the air outlet grilles and bottom
plate.
Do not touch them or put other equipment close to
the air outlet grilles because they become hot during
operation. The heated air outlet grilles and bottom
plate may cause injury or damage to other equipment. Also, do not put the projector on a desk that is
easily affected by heat.
Clean the air-filter once a month.
Clean the air-filter frequently. 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 the panels.
Do not look into the air outlet grilles when
projector is operating.

• When using the projector mounted on the ceiling,
set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION
menu to MIRROR INVERT. See page 16.
• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling,
images may appear darker than those projected in
the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product
malfunction.
• In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a
kitchen.
• In direct sunlight.
• Where the temperature rises high, such as in a
closed car.
• Where the temperature is lower than +41°F (or

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.
• The power cords for use in the U.S. and Europe are
provided with this projector. Use the appropriate cord
for your country.
• 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.
• The provided power cord for the U.S. is rated at 120 V.
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.
Important:
• Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the
floor.
• Slanting the projector more than ±10˚ (horizontally) or
±30˚ (vertically) may cause trouble or explosion of the
lamp. You can tilt the projector up to 7 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.
• To correct vertical keystone distortion, press the
KEYSTONE button on the projector or the remote
control to display KEYSTONE, and adjust the image
by pressing the } or { button (or VOLUME + or -
button on the remote control).
In the following cases:
Press the }
(or -) 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.
• When the 1080i signal is input, the keystone
adjustment ranges are limited.
Press the {

Basic operation (continued)
Power-off
Use the following procedure to turn off the projector.
Do not turn off the projector by unplugging the power
cord while the lamp is on. Unplugging while the lamp
is on degrades the lamp’s performance and causes
failure in the projector.
11. Press the POWER button.
• The message “POWER OFF? YES : PRESS
AGAIN” appears on the screen.
• To cancel, press any button except the POWER
button. (Some buttons on the remote control
don’t function for cancel.)
22. Press the POWER button within 10 seconds again.
• The lamp will go out and the STATUS
indicator will start blinking.
• Though the lamp goes out at this second press
of the POWER button, the air outlet fans
continue operating for one minute to cool down
the lamp and LCD panels. The STATUS
indicator will stop blinking.
33. Unplug the power cord.
• The POWER indicator will go out.
• If the power cord should be unplugged
accidentally while either the air inlet fan or the
air outlet fans are operating or the lamp is on,
allow the projector to cool down for 10 minutes
with the power off. To light the lamp again,
press the POWER button. If the lamp doesn’t
light up immediately, repeat pressing the
POWER button two or three times. If it should
still fail to light up, replace the lamp.
Important:
• When storing the projector in the provided
carrying case, the lens should face up.
AUTO POSITION button
When the image isn’t projected in the right position
with COMPUTER selected as the input source, follow
the procedure below.
1. Project a bright image such as the “Recycle Bin”
window on the full screen.
2. If the screen saver is running, turn it off.
3. Press the AUTO POSITION button.
• If the image is still not in the right position,
adjust the image position using the SIGNAL
menu.
Volume from the speaker
Press the VOLUME + or – button to change the
volume from the speaker.
The volume control bar will appear on the screen.
• The volume control bar will disappear about 10
seconds after the VOLUME button is released.
• The VOLUME buttons don’t function while the
menu selection bar or the menu is being
displayed.
• When a high-level audio signal, such as a DVD
audio signal, is supplied to the AUDIO IN
terminal, the output from the speaker may be
distorted.
AV mute
The video and audio signals are temporarily muted
when the MUTE button is pressed. To cancel muting,
press the MUTE button again.
• If MUTE MODE in the INSTALLATION menu is
set to IMAGE, the splash screen will appear when
the MUTE button is pressed.
• You can alter the splash screen optionally. See
page 21.
• When muting starts, the lamp mode becomes
LOW, darkening the displayed image. This is not a
product malfunction.
ANAMORPHIC mode
When playing DVD discs containing data of letterboxed
image, press the 16:9 button. Exit the ANAMORPHIC
mode by pressing the 16:9 button again.
Caution:
• After using the projector, wait 1 minute for the air
outlet fans to stop. Then unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet.
• The lamp can’t be lit again for 1 minute after
turned off for safety purpose. It will take another
1 minute for the STATUS indicator to go out. If
you want to turn on the projector again, wait until
the indicator goes out, and then press the POWER
button.
• The air outlet fans rotate faster as the
temperature around the projector rises.
• When the temperature around the projector rises
high, the sign “TEMPERATURE!!” blinks red on
the screen. If the temperature stays high, the
lamp will go out automatically.
