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. e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.

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 (58.2 kg/

128.3 lbs) of the projector (43 kg/94.8 lbs), the lens (10 kg/22 lbs) and the ceiling mount(5.2 kg/11.5 lbs) 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 1.1 KW

AC100-120 / 1.5KW AC200-240V 50/60Hz. 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 will not be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.

4.Placing the power cord and the RGB cable closely to each other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated.

For Europe

For North America

Two types of power cables are supplied with the projector: Three-pin type for U.S.A and Canada; and Two-pin type for Europe.

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.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1.Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall. Allow at least 20 inches (50 cm) of space between the ventilation duct outlet and object.

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 your service person.

3.Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

CAUTION: High Pressure Lamp May Explode if Improperly Handled. Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.

Lamp Caution: Please read before operation

Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment, there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended 1500 hours, the risk of explosion increases.

Please note that there is a warning system built in, that displays the following message when you reach 1500 hours of operation” Lamp Running Time is Over 1500 Hours!!” When you see this message please contact your NEC Dealer for a replacement.

If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the side of the unit. This smoke is comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause serious injury.

WARNING: Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

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 message "Now storing..." 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 amber glow).

•Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (After the projector is turned off with the POWER OFF button the cooling fan continues to work for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDICATOR "--" flashes).

INTRODUCTION

This section introduces you to your new SX6000/SX4000 Projector, provides a list of materials that comes with your projector and describes the features and controls.

Introduction to the MultiSync SX6000/SX4000 Projector

The SX6000/SX4000 is one of the finest, most technically advanced projectors available today. The SX6000/SX4000 enables you to project exceptionally bright, precise images up to 500 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player and even an HD VCR or HD laser disc player.

You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can permanently mount it on a ceiling*, or you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen. The remote control can be used in a wired or wireless configuration.

Features you'll enjoy :

•A high-performance 1.0 KW Xenon lamp that delivers 5000 ANSI lumens (High Bright mode: SX6000) / 3,500 ANSI lumens (Variable mode at max: SX4000) with a lamp life of 1500 hours.

•NEC’s unique DLPTM based light engine offers true color reproduction.

•The SX6000/SX4000 can accommodate any picture size from 80 to 500 inches (measured diagonally).

•The SX6000/SX4000 projects images with uniform brightness while colors remain true to their original source.

•The projector can be double or even triple stacked without an external frame, producing bright images of 10,000 or 15,000 ANSI lumens (SX6000) / 7,000 or 10,500 ANSI lumens (SX4000) in addition, double or triple stacking offers built-in redundancy.

•An image can be projected from in front or behind a screen, and the projector can even be installed on the ceiling*.

•Supports RGB digital, HDTV and DVD signals as well as most IBM

VGA, S-VGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA (scaling), Macintosh or any other RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range or 15 to 107 kHz and a vertical frequency range of 24 to 105 Hz. This includes

NTSC3.58, PAL, PAL60, SECAM, NTSC4.43, Y/C and 1080i, 720P and 480P HDTV standard video signals.

•Built-in telecine detection enables 3:2 pull-down correction with no external processing necessary, eliminating jitter and artifacts to allow for original film source motion quality.

•A newly designed menu system provides for easy setup and operation of the projector.

•The remote control can be used wired or wireless.

*Installing the projector on the ceiling must be done by authorized

NEC technicians.

Consult your NEC dealer for more information.
