Important
Information
Cautions on use
In order to get the picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any
lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light
from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust
vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a
shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take
care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider
the direction of the air owing from air conditioning.
Do not adjust the lens focus in the initial period
z
(within approx. 30 minutes) after switching the
projector on.
Optical components
It may be necessary to replace the optical components
such as liquid crystal panels and polarizing plates
in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high
temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke
or tobacco smoke environment. For more details,
please contact your dealer.
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. Display the white screen test pattern
for more than an hour to remove it. See the functional
instructions that is in the provided CD-ROM.

16:9 size 2.35:1 size
Screen height (SH) = SD (m) × 0.490 = SD (m) × 0.392
Screen width (SW) = SD (m) × 0.872 = SD (m) × 0.920
Minimum distance (LW) = SD (m) × 1.189 − 0.04 = SD (m) × 1.256 − 0.04
Maximum distance (LT) = SD (m) × 2.378 − 0.05 = SD (m) × 1.899 − 0.05
