Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation
1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.
2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture. Ver tical angle of installation must be between -10° and +10° when displaying an image. Placing the projector outside of this range of angles may cause ex­cess heat transfer to the lamp and shorten its life.
3. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.
4. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal com­ponents.
5. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage in­ternal components.
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure
proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector
and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.
To Dealer or Installer:
To prevent the projector from falling, install it in a place and fasten it in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the projector (7.2 kg/15.9 lbs) and a ceiling mount for an extended period of time as well as to withstand earthquakes.
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-120 or 200-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.
CAUTION
Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector:
• While the Hour Glass icon appears.
• While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This message
will be displayed after the projector is turned off.
• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet (the
POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).
• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling fan con-
tinues to work for 2 minutes after the projector is turned off with the POWER button).
• While the POWER and the STATUS indicators are alternately flashing.
CAUTION
To protect the Lens Shift mechanism, a hard polyurethane foam pad is attached to the lens. Before using the projector, remove the foam pad. Reattach the foam pad before shipping this projector.
Lamp Replacement
•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-58.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp has
reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp."
appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.
• Allow a minimum of 2 minutes to elapse after turning off the projec­tor. Then disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.
Fire and Shock Precautions
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unob­structed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object re­moved by a qualified NEC service personnel.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
•Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, there­fore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens hood cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on and do not point the laser beam at another person. Serious injury could result.
CAUTION: Be careful when you take a PC card out of the PC card slot because the PC card and the slot are hot during or immediately after use.
CAUTION: Do not place hands near lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting the lens could pinch fingers or hands causing injury.

1. INTRODUCTION
Introduction to the GT950 Projector
This section introduces you to your new GT950 Projector and describes the features and controls.
Congratulations on Your Purchase of The GT950 Projector
The GT950 is one of the very best projectors available today. The GT950 enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches across (mea­sured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player, document camera, a laser disc player or PC Card Viewer. You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projec­tor to project images from behind the screen, and the projector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The remote control can be used wirelessly.
Features you’ll enjoy:
• Simple set up and operation.
• Placing the projector in a vertical position allows portrait display. The supplied portrait software provides 90-degree clockwise image rotation of the display to a portrait orientation (for PC only).
• The dedicated vertical stand will fix the projector in a vertical posi­tion.
• Hot air blown from the vents does not bother the audience during your presentation since the vents are located at the front of the pro­jector.
•A high-performance 200 watt NSH lamp.
• The supplied wireless remote control that operates the projector from any angle.
• The image can be projected between 25 and 300 inches (measured diagonally).
•Keystone correction allows you to correct trapezoidal distortion so that the image is square.
•You can choose between video modes depending on your source: "normal" for a typical picture, "natural" for true color reproduction.
• The built-in PC Card Viewer allows you to start your presentation even when a PC is not available at the site.
• The "Capture" enables you to capture the current projected image.
• An image can be projected from in front or behind a screen, and the projector can even be installed on the ceiling.
• NEC Technologies’ exclusive Advanced AccuBlend intelligent pixel blending technology - an extremely accurate image compression technology - offers a crisp image with UXGA (16001200) resolu-
2
tion*
.
• Supports most IBM VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA/UXGA(with Advanced AccuBlend)*2, Macintosh, component signal (YCbCr / YPbPr) or any other RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range of 15 to 100 kHz and a vertical frequency range of 48 to 120 Hz. This includes NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL60, SECAM and NTSC4.43 stan­dard video signals.
NOTE: Composite video standards are as follows: NTSC: U.S. TV standard for video in U.S. and Canada. PAL: TV standard used in Western Europe. PAL-M: TV standard used in Brazil. PAL-N: TV standard used in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. PAL60: TV standard used for NTSC playback on PAL TVs. SECAM: TV standard used in France and Eastern Europe. NTSC4.43: TV standard used in Middle East countries.
*1Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself. The pro-
jector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the in­stallation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.
*2A UXGA (16001200) and SXGA image (12801024) are displayed
with NEC technology’s Advanced AccuBlend.
*3The PC Control Utility 1.0 is required. This program is included on
the supplied CD-ROM.
*4The USB terminal meets the USB1.1 specification and accepts a
USB mouse only.

2. INSTALLATION
This section describes how to set up your GT950 projector and how to connect video and audio sources.
Setting up Your Projector
Your GT950 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size.
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you
can project your image.
3. Connect the supplied power cable.
4. Set up the projector.
5. Connect a PC, VCR, DVD player, or other equipment.
6. Make setting or adjustments on the projector.
Distance Chart
Standard Lens (H2.0) – (H2.4)
Selecting a Location
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 25" (0.64 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 3.9 feet (1.2 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 39.4 feet (12.0 m) from the wall or screen.

WARNING
• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a quali­fied technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.
* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector se­verely damaged.
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 32˚F (0˚C) and 95˚F (35˚C).
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projec­tor so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.
For screen sizes between 25" and 300" not indicated on the above table, use for­mulas below.

Reflecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image enables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror. If you’re using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the “Menu” and “Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or ▲▼ buttons on your re­mote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-43.)

You can connect a separate, external monitor to your GT950 projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the RGB analog, DVI analog, or component image you're projecting. To do so:
1. Turn off the power to your projector, monitor and computer.
2. Use a 15-pin cable to connect your monitor to the RGB OUT (Mini D-Sub 15 pin) connector on your projector.
3. Turn on the projector, monitor and the computer.
NOTE: The Auto Adjust feature does not work for DVI digital signal. When DVI signal is selected and the image position is not corrected, adjust the horizontal and vertical position using the Position/Clock screen. See page E-40 for more details.
To DVI digital or DVI analog
DVI cable (not supplied)
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal:
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the pro­jector using a DVI-D signal cable (not supplied) before turning on your PC or projector. Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC. Do not disconnect a DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running. If the DVI-D signal cable has been disconnected and then re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
* The RGB OUT connector outputs RGB signal during standby. When the pro-
jector goes into standby, the image on an external monitor disappears for a moment.
* The DVI digital output signal from the RGB OUT connector is muted. * When attaching two D-Sub connector cables to the RGB IN and the RGB
OUT connectors simultaneously, use a cable with connector sizes of 39 mm x 16 mm (1.53" x 0.63")or less to keep the two connectors from making contact with each other.

Viewing Digital Images
Digital images can be played with the PC Card Viewer if the following conditions are met:
• If the image can be stored on an MS-DOS format PC card
• If the image can be stored in a format supported by the PC Card Viewer. With the PC Card Viewer, images on the card are searched for in directories and images in JPEG or BMP format are recognized as slides. Searchable directories are directories within two steps from the root directory, and searchable images are images within the first 12 files in the directory. Only file and slide switching are possible.
NOTE: You can compress a captured file (JPEG) using the Capture Options in the Setup dialog. See page E-44.
NOTE: Captured images with higher resolution than the projector's native reso­lution cannot be displayed correctly.
NOTE:
• File size of the captured image varies depending on the resolution of an input signal.
• Since an image data is compressed with the JPEG format, the image is slightly degraded.
NOTE: An hourglass indicating that an image is being captured appears on the projector's display. Do not eject the PC card or turn off the projector's power while this icon is displayed. Doing so will damage the PC card data. If the PC card data is damaged, use a computer to repair the data.
NOTE: The folder in the right bottom is always a folder exclusively for captured images. To display the list of folders when there are 13 or more indexes stored on the PC card, select "Edit index" from the PC Card Viewer software's "File" menu and move the index you want to display to within 12 indexes from the top of the folder index. For details on indexes, refer to the PC Card Viewer software's help file.
NOTE: The maximum number of images recognized as slides within one direc­tory is 128.

JPEG
This is the name of a card currently being standardized by the Japan Electronic Industry Association (JEIDA) and PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association) of the United States.
A type of PC card. ATA was originally a type of interface between computers and fixed disk devices. The ATA card is a standard card-type recording medium.
CompactFlash card is a small removable card conforming to ATA specifications. It is one-fourth the volume of a PCMCIA card.
PCMCIA 2.1 PC cards are divided into three types according to their thickness: Type I (3.3 mm), Type II (5.0 mm) and Type III (10.5 mm).
A type of image format. The standard Windows Bit Map format used for MS-DOS/Windows-compatible computers.
A type of image format. "JPEG" is the abbreviation of Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG compression offers efficient data storage. The data not required for displaying the image is identified and deleted. Since the data is deleted, JPEG algorithms are said to be irreversible. This means that once the image is compressed, the decompressed image it is not the same as the original image.

4. MAINTENANCE
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to replace the lamp and clean the filter.
Replacing the Lamp
After your lamp has been operating for 1500 hours (2000 hours : Eco mode) or longer, the “Status” light in the cabinet will go on and the message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, re­place it at 1500 (2000 hours : Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal projector performance.
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 2 minutes, and then dis­connect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and two lamp housing screws. You could receive an electric shock.
• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 1600 (2100 hours : Eco mode) hours of service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 1500 hours (2000 hours : Eco mode) of use, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp housing. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.
To replace the lamp:
1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a freewheeling condition and remove the lamp cover. The lamp cover screw is not removable.
3. Insert a new lamp housing until the lamp housing is plugged into the socket.
CAUTION: Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp (GT95LP). Order this from your NEC dealer.
Secure it in place with the two screws.
Be sure to tighten the screws.
4. Reattach the lamp cover.
Tighten the lamp cover screw.
Be sure to tighten the screw.
2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screw­driver goes into a freewheeling condition. The two screws are not removable. Remove the lamp housing by pulling out the handle.
NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.
5. After you install a new lamp, select [Projector Options] [Setup][Page 4][Clear Lamp Hour Meter] to reset the lamp usage hours.
NOTE: When the lamp exceeds 1600 hours (2100 hours : Eco mode) of ser­vice, the projector cannot turn on and the message is not displayed. If this happens, press the Help button on the remote control for a minimum of 10 seconds while in standby mode. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the STATUS indicator goes out.

CAUTION
•Turn off the power and unplug the projector before replacing the filter.
• Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.
• Do not attempt to operate the projector without a filter cover.
•Your projector will not operate unless the filter cover is installed cor­rectly.
