Introduction to the Projector

This section introduces you to your new LT260K/LT240K Projector and
describes the features and controls.

Congratulations on Your Purchase of The LT260K/
LT240K Projector

The LT260K/LT240K is one of the very best projectors available today. The
LT260K/LT240K enables you to project precise images up to 500 inches
across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desk­top or notebook), VCR, DVD player, document camera, a laser disc player
or 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.

*1Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself.

The projector 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.

Features you'll enjoy:

• The newly developed 3D Reform function allows you to correct trap­ezoidal distortion for both horizontally and vertically so that the im­age is square even when projector is positioned off center of the
rooms screen.

• The LT260K/LT240K projector provides wired and wireless network­ing. When using as a wireless LAN projector, no physical signal cable
connection to a PC is required.*

*2A wireless LAN card is required. The NEC optional wireless LAN card is

available. (SWL-2100N-N

• Safety protect by Password and Security functions

Password and Security features prevent the projector from being used
by unauthorized individuals.
Password prevents unauthorized individuals from changing projector
settings or adjustments. Security offers complete protection by using
your PC card as a protect key so that the projector will not project a
signal without insertion of the registered PC card and unauthorized
use can be discouraged.

• The built-in Viewer allows you to start your presentation even when a
PC is not available at the site.

•A high-bright 220 watt DC lamp.

• The Standby mode reduces standby power consumption significantly.

• The supplied wireless remote control that operates the projector from
the front side or rear.

• The image can be projected between 30 and 500 inches (measured
diagonally).

• 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’s exclusive Advanced AccuBlend intelligent pixel blending tech­nology - an extremely accurate image compression technology - of­fers a crisp image with UXGA (1600⳯1200) resolution*3.

• Supports most IBM VGA, SVGA, XGA , SXGA/UXGA(with Advanced
AccuBlend)*3, Macintosh, component signal (YCbCr/ YPbPr) or any
other RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range of 24 to 100
kHz and a vertical frequency range of 50 to 120 Hz. This includes
NTSC, PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, PAL60, SECAM and NTSC4.43 stan­dard video signals.

*3A UXGA (1600⳯1200) and SXGA image (1280⳯1024) are displayed

with NEC’s Advanced AccuBlend on LT260K/LT240K.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS ⬎ Setting Up the Screen and theProjector

WARNING

* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified tech-

nician. 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 41˚F (5˚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.

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-95.)
