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 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C) (Eco mode selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°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 when a smaller space is required.Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror system. If you’re using a mirror system and your image is inverted, use the MENU and buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the orientation. (→ page 72)

2. Installation and Connections

Making Connections

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 management 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 projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.

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 projector cabinet.

2. Installation and Connections

When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal (except NP405 and NP305)

To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI cable (not supplied) before turning on your PC or projector.Turn on the projector first and select Computer 2 (Digital) 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 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 cable or the one compliant with the DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI cable should be within 5 m (196") long. Both single and dual types of DVI cable can be used.

•The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600), 1152 x 864, XGA (1024 x 768), WXGA (1280 x 800 @ up to 60Hz), and SXGA (1280 x 1024 @ up to 60Hz).
