Before use

Cautions on use

In order to get the best picture quality

Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, cover it with the lens cover.

Screen

Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause discoloration to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

Lamp

The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off.

Liquid crystal panel

Do not project the same image for long periods of time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid crystal panel.

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision technology to provide fine picture details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
