1-1. Features
• DLP Cinema® dedicated projector that supports large screen needs
NEC has applied its mounting technology and leading imaging technology to newly develop lamp and optical systems as well
as a cooling system to support large screen needs.
• Equipped with easy to use functions
(1) Lens memory function that can be operated with one touch, and lamp power memory function
The DLP Cinema
set screens sizes for each input signal. It is also provided with a lamp power memory function for storing the brightness of
the images on the screen for each input signal.
Even if you are projecting multiple images that have different settings for image sizes and brightness, you can project them
with the conditions pre-registered for each signal, simply by selecting the corresponding signal.
(2) Equipped with a lamp output control function
You can set to any brightness setting, from low brightness to high brightness. This function makes it possible to minimize
the fluctuation (*) in brightness as brightness of the lamp decreases as a result of long-term lamp usage.
* The time for maintaining fluctuations in brightness depends on the setting value for brightness.
(3) Easy lamp replacement
The lamp can be replaced from the backside of the projector, so the lamp can be easily replaced even in narrow locations
when a film projector is setup on the side and there is not much space on the projector side.
(4) Registered signal selection buttons
The projector has been equipped with new 8 signal selection buttons that make it easy to select registered signals. To this
projector, 100 titles at most can be registered (input signal registration). Among the registered titles, any 8 titles can be
assigned to the buttons <1> to <8>.
(5) Software which enables the user to operate the projector from a PC via a network is available (optional).
You can operate the projector via a network by installing the separately supplied Digital Cinema Communicator (DCC) on
your PC.
(6) Supports various contents and types of usage by applying a separately-sold multi-media switcher.
By connecting an optional multi-media switcher (MM3000B), you can input RGB/VIDEO analog signals, and digital signals
in formats not supported by the projector.

• DMD Face Dust Protection Structure
A dust control shield is arranged between each DMD chip of R, G and B, and the spectroscopic/condenser prism to prevent
dust and dirt in the air, and oily particles in smoke associated with event halls from coming into contact with the face of the DMD
and causing operating problems.
• Efficient cooling of the heat from the DMD unit by the cooling structure
The DMD unit uses a highly efficient liquid cooling method. This efficiently eliminates heat applied to the DMD by the complete
dust control structure and high light output, thereby ensuring the reliability of the projector.

Maintenance of Your
Projector
NOTE
Please request your dealer to perform lamp replacement and cleaning of the projector inside.
5-1. Cleaning the Cabinet
Be sure to always check that the AC power supply of the projector head is disconnected before carrying out maintenance of
your projector.
•Wipe with a dry, soft cloth without nap.
When the cabinet is excessively dirty, wipe with cloth well wrung after being dampened with a neutral detergent diluted with
water and then finish up with a dry cloth.
When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions in the manual attached to it.
• Do not use a solvent, such as thinner or benzene. The coating may deteriorate or peel off.
• When removing dust on the ventilation opening, suck it off using an adapter with a brush on a vacuum cleaner. Never allow
the cleaner without an adapter to come into direct contact or use a nozzles adapter in cleaning.
• Clean the ventilation opening at regular intervals. Dust, if allowed to accumulate there, may cause heating inside, which
leads to functional trouble. The interval, which can vary with the location of your projector, is about 100 hours.
• Do not damage the cabinet by scratching it or allowing hard objects to hit it. This can scratch the projector.
• Consult your dealer/distributor about cleaning the inside of the projector.
NOTE
Do not allow insecticide or other volatile liquid to splash on the cabinet, lens or screen. Also, do not allow any
rubber or plastic object to remain in contact with the cabinet for a long time. The coating may deteriorate or
peel off.
5-2. Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens the same way as with camera lens (using a commercially available camera blower or cleaning paper for
glasses). Take care not to damage the lens when cleaning.

5. Maintenance of Your Projector
5-3. Replacing the Air Filter
Air filters are attached over the air inlet of the projector to prevent dust. Replace air filters periodically to maintain the projector's
performance.
WARNING:
• When replacing air filters, turn off the projector and shut down the AC power to the projector using a circuit breaker.
• Dust in air filters will hinder ventilation of the projector, lead to a rise of the internal temperature and may cause a fire or
malfunction.
NOTE
Please purchase the replacement air filter at your dealer/distributor. Specify NC-80AF01 (for the air inlet of
the lamp) or NC-80AF02 (for the air inlet of the projector electric circuit) when you order.

6-3. Operation using an HTTP browser
6-3-1. Overview
The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser. Please be sure to use “ Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser.
This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will
vary depending on the version of the browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software.
NOTE
The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending on the
settings of your network.
Should this happen, consult your network administrator.
The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen,
wait a moment and repeat. If you still cannot get any response, pull out and then reinsert the LAN card on the
projector.
Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by and specifying
http://<the projector’s IP address>/index.html
in the entry column of the URL.
6-3-2. Preparation before use
Make network connections and set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations.
Operations with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting
method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be
displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from a browser not be reflected in operation. It is
recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
6-3-3. Handling of the address for operation via a browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the projector is
via a browser, the host name can be used as it is with the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been
registered in the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of the
projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
(Example 1) When the host name of the projector has been set to “pj.nec.co.jp”
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL to access HTTP server functions.
(Example 2) When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.10.10”
http://192.168.10.10/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL to access HTTP server
functions.
