Usage Notice
Eye Safety Warnings
Avoid staring directly into the projector beam at all times.Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back
to the beam as much as possible.
A stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need
for the user to enter the beam.
Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight
from the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters look at the audience, they do not also have to stare at the projector lamp. The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-mounting rather than floor or table-mounting the projector.
When projector is used in a classroom, adequately super-
vise students when they are asked to point out something on the screen.
In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room
blinds to reduce ambient light levels.

Detail informations about LBX mode :
1. Some Letter-Box DVD contents are not enhanced for 16x9 TV, then image will not look right in 16:9 display.One can use 4:3 mode to view the correct info. But if the content itself is not 4:3, it will have black bars around the image in a 16:9 display. For this kind of content, you can use LBX mode to fill the image in the 16x9 display as much as pos­sible.
2. If you use an external 16x9 lens, this LBX mode also allows you to watch a 2.35:1 content (include Anamorphic DVD and HDTV film source) that support anamorphic wide is enhanced for 16x9 Display in a wide 2.35:1 image.
In this case, there are no black bars, the full lamp power and vertical resolution is fully utilized for maximum view­ing effects.
Other than these two occasions, one should stay with 16:9 and 4:3 modes for most viewing experiences.
