Cautions on security when using wireless LAN products
With a wireless LAN, radio waves are used instead of LAN cables for the exchange of data between the wireless
access points (computers, etc.), offering the advantage that LAN connections can be made freely within the range
of the radio waves.
On the other hand, the radio waves reach all points within this range, regardless of walls or other obstacles, possibly resulting in the problems described below if the proper security measures are not taken.
• Contents of transmissions may be intercepted
Malicious third parties may purposely intercept the radio waves and steal information contained in the transmissions, including such personal information as ID numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, e-mail messages,
etc.
• Improper intrusions
Malicious third parties may without permission access the personal or company network and steal personal or
confidential information, pretend to be someone else and leak incorrect information, rewrite information that has
been intercepted, introduce computer viruses or otherwise damage data or the system, etc.
Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points generally include security measures for dealing with these problems. Making the proper security settings before using the products can reduce the risk of such problems arising.
We recommend that you fully understand the problems that can arise when using the products without making the
security settings, then that you make the security settings based on your own decision and at your own discretion.
Operation of the USB Wireless LAN Unit is subjected to the regulations of the countries listed below, and may be
prohibited to use outside the country where you purchased. If you need to use the projector outside the country
where you purchased, you must remove the USB Wireless LAN Unit from the projector before exporting.

Introduction to the Projector
This section introduces you to the NP3150/NP2150/NP1150/NP3151W projector and describes key features and
controls.
Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector
The NP3150/NP2150/NP1150 is a sophisticated XGA projector that produces an enhanced display. NP3151W is a
WXGA projector. With the NP3150/NP2150/NP1150/NP3151W you will be able to project images up to 500" (measured diagonally). Enjoy crisp and sharp large screen display from your PC, workstation or Macintosh computer,
DVD player, VCR, satellite hookup, HDTV source, as well as images from your USB storage device. The NP3150/
NP2150/NP1150/NP3151W provides for enhanced security options to help deter projector theft and provides for full
projector control through the PC control port (D-Sub 9 Pin) and LAN support. With input and output flexibility, long
lamp life and a full function remote, the NP3150/NP2150/NP1150/NP3151W lets you enjoy larger than life viewing
from a compact and easy to setup and use projector.
Features you’ll enjoy :
• LCD projector with high resolution and high brightness

NOTE: Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector and
starting to display an image.
Also, the power cable can be removed immediately after turning off the projector.
Auto Start eliminates the need to always use the POWER (ON/STANDBY) button on the remote control or pro
jector cabinet.

is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.
Setting Up the Screen and the Projector
Selecting a Location [NP3150/NP2150/NP1150]
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is
approximately 30 inches (0.76 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 41 inches (1.0 m) from the
wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 500 inches (12.7 m) when the projector is about 718 inches (18.2 m)
from the wall or screen. Use the drawing below as a guide.
TIP: The screen sizes above are intermediate values between tele (minimum display area) and wide (maximum display area) when
the standard lens is used. Image size can be adjusted with the zoom adjustment up to a maximum of 15%.

Selecting a Location [NP3151W]
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is
approximately 30 inches (0.76 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 44 inches (1.1 m) from the
wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 500 inches (12.7 m) when the projector is about 756 inches (19.2 m)
from the wall or screen. Use the drawing below as a guide.
TIP: The screen sizes above are intermediate values between tele (minimum display area) and wide (maximum display area) when
the standard lens is used. Image size can be adjusted with the zoom adjustment up to a maximum of 15%.
For optional lenses, see page 128.

Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode
and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power manage-
ment software.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on
or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through
external display selections.
NOTE: The COMPUTER 1 IN connector
supports Plug & Play (DDC2).
BNC X 5 cable (not supplied)
Audio cable (not supplied)
VGA signal cable (supplied)
To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on the
projector. It is recommended that you use
a commercially available distribution amplifier if connecting a signal cable longer
than the one supplied.
IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)
NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially
available pin adapter (not supplied) to connect to
your Mac’s video port.
Audio
cable (not
supplied)
• First turn off the computer and the projector before making connections.
• Turn down the volume on the computer before connecting an audio cable to the headphone jack of the com
puter. After connecting the computer to the projector, you can adjust the sound level on the computer and the
projector to your preference.
• You are recommended to connect an audio cable to an audio out connector (mini jack type) if any.
NOTE: The NP3150/NP2150/NP1150/NP3151W is not compatible with video decoded outputs of either the NEC ISS-6020 and
ISS-6010 switchers.
NOTE:
An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the AUTO ADJUST button on
the projector cabinet.
* When noise appears on the sides of the screen:
Use the Overscan feature to display the image correctly.
Be sure to change the Overscan to 0% before pressing the AUTO ADJ or AUTO ADJUST button, otherwise an image may be
displayed with its sides cut off.

2. Installation and Connections
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. Turn on the projector first and select COMPUTER 3 from the source menu
before turning on your PC.
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 the DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected
and then re-connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use a DVI-D cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard.
The DVI-D cable should be within 10 m (394") long.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector (COMPUTER 3 (DVI-D) IN) accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768),
SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz) and SXGA+ (1400x1050 @ up to 60Hz).

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the DVI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning
properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP
and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Correcting Keystone Distortion
When the projector is not exactly perpendicular to the screen, keystone distortion occurs. To overcome it, you can use the
“Keystone” function, a digital technology that can adjust for keystone-type distortion, resulting in a crisp, square image.
The following procedure explains how to use the [KEYSTONE] screen from the menu to correct trapezoidal distortions.
When the projector is placed diagonally to the screen,
When the projector is set up at an angle in relation to the screen, adjust the Horizontal option of the Keystone menu
so that the top and bottom of sides of the projected image are parallel.
1. Press the 3D REFORM button on the remote control or the projec
tor cabinet.
The Keystone screen will be displayed on the screen.
2. Press the SELECT

Operation Using an HTTP Browser
L
Overview
The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser without the installation of
special software. 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 browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in
your software.)
Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying
http:// <the projector’s IP address> /index.html
in the entry column of the URL.
NOTE:
• The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your net
work. 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 can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.
• Do not use the HTTP Server functions and PC Control Utility 3.0 included on the supplied CD-ROM. Using both at the same time
may result in a connection failure or slow response.
Preparation Before Use
Make network connections and set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations. (→ [NETWORK SETTINGS] on page 105)
Operation 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 the browser may
not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
-
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 when the host name corresponding to the IP address
of the projector has been registered to 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.
Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the
HTTP server functions by specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
