zDo not install the projector in an enclosed space.

If the projector needs to be installed in an enclosure, provide a separate air conditioning unit or ventilating equipment. Emitted heat accumulates if ventilation is insufcient. This may cause the protection circuit of the projector to operate. Use the front adjustable feet for oor installation only and for angle adjustment in such cases.

If you use the adjustable feet for any other purpose, the set may be damaged.

Information

Cautions on use

■

In order to view clear video images

Clear, high contrast video can be viewed when curtains are closed and lights near the screen are extinguished in

order to stop light from reaching the screen. In some rare cases, depending on the usage environment a “ickering” may appear on the screen due to the

effects of air from the exhaust port or hot/cold air from air conditioners. Do not set up this projector in a situation where air from the exhaust of this device or other devices, or air from air conditioners is circulated to the front of this device. The focus of high brightness projection lenses may not be stable immediately after turning power on due to the

effects of heat from light coming from light sources. Focus stabilizes 30 minutes after video projection starts.

Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hands.

If ngerprints or dirt are left on the projection lens, they will be enlarged and projected and will prevent the viewing of clear video images. Also, always replace the lens cover when not using the projector.

About LCD panels

LCD panels are manufactured using high precision technologies, but in some cases they may have dead pixels, or permanently lit pixels. Please understand that this is not a fault. Also, projecting a still image for extended periods of time may lead to afterimages on LCD panels. Please be aware that in some cases these afterimages may not disappear completely.

About optical components

If using in an environment with a high temperature, or where dust or tobacco smoke is present, the replacement cycle of optical components such as LCD panels and polarizing plates may shorten even after less than one year of use. For more details, please contact your dealer.

About the lamp

■

This product uses an internal high pressure mercury lamp for the light source. High pressure mercury lamps have the following characteristics.

Brightness decreases with usage time.

In some cases, the lamp may make a large sound, crack, and reach the end of its lifespan as a result of shocks,

damage, and deterioration related to usage period. Large disparities occur in lifespan due to individual properties and usage conditions. Lifespan is especially

affected if you use the lamp continuously for more than 6 hours or switch it ON/OFF rapidly. Very occasionally the lamp may crack after starting projection.

The possibility of cracking increases as the lamp nears the end of its lifespan.

If the lamp cracks, gas may be leaked from inside and smoke may be seen.

Please prepare a spare lamp in advance.

About disposal

To dispose of the product, inquire your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal. The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.

Before connecting to the projector

Read and follow the operating and connecting instructions of each peripheral device.

The peripheral devices must be turned off.

If not provided or sold separately with each peripheral device, obtain the connection cables required for system connection

in accordance with the device to be connected. If the video signal from the video source contains a lot of jitter, the image may appear to be wobble. In such cases, a time

base corrector (TBC) must be connected. The signals that can be connected to the projector include VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analog-RGB (with TTL sync. level) and digital

signal. Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.

See “List of compatible signals” for the types of video signals that can be used with this projector. (

Audio cables must be connected from each external device directly to the audio reproduction system.

Caution

When connecting to a computer or other equipment, use the power cord included with each device and a sealed, commercially available cable.
