2. Installation and Connections
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]
is set automatically to [ON] at 95°F to 104°F/35°C
to 40°C. Note that [ECO] mode will be set to [ON]
automatically at 86°F to 104°F/30°C to 40°C when
used in [HIGH ALTITUDE].)
• 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 68)

2. Installation and Connections
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.

your ear.
• If an audio output jack of your computer is a mini jack type, connect the audio cable to it.
•
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.

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”, access is gained to the network
setting by specifying
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html
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 mail alert settings by
specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.

• Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the power button on the projector cabinet or the remote control
is on. (→ pages 19 and 20)
• Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly. (→ page 83)
• Check to see if the projector has overheated. If there is insufficient ventilation around the projector or if the
room where you are presenting is particularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.
•
Check to see if you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its life.
If so, replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hours used. (→ page 79)
• The lamp may fail to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on the power again.
• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700
meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500
feet/1700 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the
projector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector. (→ page 70)
If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off, the fans run without displaying an image
for some time and then the projector will display the image. Wait for a moment.
• Ensure that the [OFF TIMER] or [AUTO POWER OFF] is off. (→ page 65, 73)
• Use the COMPUTER1, the VIDEO or the S-VIDEO button on the remote control to select your source (Computer, Video or S-Video). (→ page 22) If there is still no picture, press the button again.
• Ensure your cables are connected properly.
• Use menus to adjust the brightness and contrast. (→ page 58)
• Remove the lens cap.
•
Reset the settings or adjustments to factory preset levels using the [RESET] in the Menu. (→ page 79)
• Enter your registered keyword if the Security function is enabled. (→ page 34)
• 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.
• See also the next page.
•
Check if the projector is in the Forced ECO mode because of too high ambient temperature. If this is the case, lower
the internal temperature of the projector by selecting [HIGH] for [FAN MODE]. (→ page 70)
•
Check if an appropriate color is selected in [WALL COLOR]. If so, select an appropriate option. (→ page 64)
• Adjust [HUE] in [PICTURE]. (→ page 58)
• Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 23)
• Use the Keystone correction function to correct the trapezoid distortion. (→ page 26)
• Adjust the focus. (→ page 25)
• Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 23)
• Ensure that the distance between the projector and screen is within the adjustment range of the lens.
(→ page 11)
• Condensation may form on the lens if the projector is cold, brought into a warm place and is then turned on.
Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensation on the lens.
• Set [FAN MODE] to other than [HIGH ALTITUDE] mode when using the projector at altitudes approximately
5500 feet/1700 meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) or lower. Using the projector at altitudes less
than approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters (3000 feet/900 meters on V300X/V300W) and setting to [HIGH
ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO]. (→

If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.
• Power on process for the projector and the 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.
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”,
this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 78 or go to next step)
• 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.
• Non-standard signal output from the computer
If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each
notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step.
Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh
When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector)
according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch
on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch
to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode
and then restart the Macintosh again.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub
15-pin connector.
• Mirroring on a PowerBook
* When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirroring”
is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
• Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen
Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple
menu and arrange icons.
