Precautions for use
■■In order to view clear video images
zzClear, 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.
zzIn some rare cases, depending on the usage environment a “flickering” 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.
zzThe 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 fingerprints 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. zzBrightness decreases with usage time.
zzIn 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.
zzLarge 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.
zzVery occasionally the lamp may crack after starting projection.
zzThe possibility of cracking increases as the lamp nears the end of its lifespan. zzIf the lamp cracks, gas may be leaked from inside and smoke may be seen. zzPlease prepare a spare lamp in advance.
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.

Setting up
You can calculate projection dimensions other than those in the above table from the projection screen size SD (m) using the formula below.
All units are meters. (Values obtained using the formula below contain a slight error.) If the projection screen size is assumed to be SD,
|
16:9 size |
2.35:1 size |
Projection screen height (SH) |
= SD (m) × 0.490 |
= SD (m) × 0.392 |
Projection screen width (SW) |
= SD (m) × 0.872 |
= SD (m) × 0.920 |
Minimum distance (LW) |
= SD (m) × 1.1503 − 0.056 |
= SD (m) × 1.2169 − 0.054 |
Maximum distance (LT) |
= SD (m) × 2.2951 − 0.041 |
= SD (m) × 2.4248 − 0.037 |
Install the projector on a flat surface with its front side become parallel to the screen surface so that the screen becomes rectangle.
If the screen is tilted towards the bottom, extend the adjustable feet to make a rectangle screen. If the projector is tilted horizontally, use the adjustable feet to level the projector.
As shown in the diagram, the feet can be extended by turning the front adjustable feet, and can be retracted by turning in the opposite direction.

Attention
zzHot air is expelled from the air exhaust port. Do not touch the air exhaust port (page 18) directly when you adjust the front leg adjustable feet.
Note
zzTighten the front adjustable feet until you hear them click into place.
22 - ENGLISH
Setting up
If the projector is not positioned right in front of the center of the screen, you can adjust the projected image position by moving the lens shift dials within the shift range of the lens.
■■Adjusting the lens shift
1111Remove the lens shift cover.
zzSee “About your projector” (page 18) regarding how to open the lens shift cover.
2222Rotate the lens shift lever in the direction shown in the figure (counterclockwise) to release the lock.
3333Adjust projection using the lens shift lever.
●● Horizontal shift
Adjust the projection by moving the lens shift lever horizontally according to the installation position of the screen and projector.

Note
zzPosition the projector directly in front of the screen and move the lens shift lever to the center to obtain the optimum projection image quality.
zzWhen the lens shift lever is at the horizontal limit of the shift range, you cannot move the lever to the vertical limit. Likewise, when the lens shift lever is at the vertical limit of the shift range, you cannot move the lever to the horizontal limit.
zzShift the lens position within the adjustment range. If you shift the lens position outside the adjustment range, a restriction is imposed on the lens movement to protect the optical components and the focus changes.
zzIf the projected image cannot be fit into the screen using the lens shift function alone, adjust the projection angle using the adjustable feet (page 22), and then correct the keystone distortion using the [KEYSTONE] in the [POSITION] menu.

Operation Basic
Switching the projector on/off
Attention
zzThe internal fan operates and cools the projector while it is preparing to power off (when the power indicator is illuminated orange). Do not switch the main power off or remove the power cord.
Note
zzWhen the power |
|
/ | > button is pressed while the projector is in the power off preparation mode, it may take some time |
|
||
|
to enter projection mode.
zzThe projector consumes approx. 0.08 W of electrical power even when the power is off (when the power indicator is illuminated red).
zzPower consumption when the power indicator flashes red is almost the same as when the lamp is illuminated red.

Attention
zzUsing the projector while the lens cover is attached causes the device to heat up and can result in a fire.
Note
zzWhen starting up the projector, a small rattling sound may be heard or when the luminous lamp is lit a tinkling sound may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.
zzDuring video projection, the cooling fan operates and makes a sound. This fan sound may change with ambient temperature and becomes louder when the lamp is turned on.
zzSetting the [LAMP POWER] in the [OPTION] menu to [ECO] reduces operation sounds. (page 66)
zzWhen the lamp is turned off and immediately turned back on again, the video may temporarily flicker slightly at the start of projection due to lamp characteristics. This is not a malfunction.
