Precautions on handling

Precautions on transport

Make absolutely sure that the lens cap is in place when transporting the projector or carrying it around. Both the projector and the projection lens are precision-made and, as such, are susceptible to vibration and impacts. When transporting the projector and lens or carrying them around, place them in the boxes in which they were housed at the time of purchase, and take care to keep them away from vibration and impacts.

Precautions on installation

Be sure to observe the following precautions when installing the product.

Avoid installing the product in a place exposed to vibrations or impacts.

If the projector is installed in a place where vibrations are transmitted from a source of driving power and others or mounted in a car or a vessel, vibrations or impacts may be transmitted to the product to damage the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product in a place free from vibrations and impacts.

Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibration or impact.

The service life of its internal motors may be shortened.

Do not install the projector near highvoltage power lines or power sources.

The product may be exposed to interference if it is installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical power lines or power sources.

Do not place the projector on a vinyl sheet or carpet.

If a vinyl sheet sucked up and blocks the air filter intake port, the internal temperature of the projector may increase, which triggers the protection circuit, turning off the power.

Be sure to ask a specialized technician when to install the product to a ceiling.

If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an optional hanging attachment (for high ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD35) (for low ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD35S) and call a specialized technician for installation.

Do not place the projector over 2 700 m above sea level. When using it over 1 400 m above sea level, set the “Fan Control1”, described on page 35, to “HIGHLAND”.

Otherwise the life of the product may be shortened.

Disposal

To discard the product, call the dealer or a specialized dealer.

Precautions on use

To view clear images:

• The audience cannot enjoy high-contrast and clear images if outside light or the illumination interferes the screen surface. Draw window curtains or blinds, turn off the lightings near the screen or take other proper measures.

• In rare cases, wafture can occur on the screen affected by the warm air from the exhaust port depending on the environment.

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

If fingerprints or stains are left on the projection lens surface, they are magnified and projected on the screen. Keep your hands away from the lens. Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap when the projector is not used.

Lamp

A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used for the light source of this product. A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics:

•

It may burst with a loud sound or end its life cycle by not illuminating because of given impacts, flaws, or deterioration due to used hours.

•

The life cycle of a mercury lamp varies according to the individual difference or conditions of use. In particular, turning the power on and off frequently and/or repeatedly will greatly affect the life cycle.

• In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first lighting.

• The possibility of burst increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time.

Cleaning and maintenance

Be sure to remove the power cord plug from the receptacle before cleaning.

Use soft and dry cloth to clean the cabinet

If stains are hard to remove, use a cloth dampened with a kitchen detergent solution (neutral) and squeezed to wipe the cabinet and finish with a dry cloth. If a chemical wipe is used, follow its instructions.

Do not clean the lens surface with fuzzy or dusty cloth.

If dust adheres to the lens, it will be magnified and projected on the screen. Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe off dust.

Effective range of remote control operation

The remote control should normally be aimed at either the front or rear remote control receiver window on the projector (figure 1). Otherwise, it may also be aimed at the screen, which will reflect commands back to the projector’s front receiver window as illustrated in figure 2.

The effective control range is approx. 7 metres from the beam receiver on the front or rear.

• Do not drop the remote control unit.

• Do not expose remote control unit to

any liquid.

• Do not use NiCd batteries.

Attention

Note

• When the remote control is aimed at the screen, the effective control range may be reduced due to the optical loss by screen reflection.

• The remote control may not function properly if an object is in the light path.

• The remote control receiver may not function properly in intense ambient light such as fluorescent lamps. Carefully site the projector so its remote control receiver windows will not be directly exposed to intense light.

Note

Setting projector ID number to remote control

Every projector has its ID number and the ID number of the controlling projector must be set to the remote control in advance so that the user can operate the remote control. The ID number of the projector is set to

“ALL” on shipping, and use the ID ALL button of the remote control when using only a single projector.

Procedure of ID setting

Change the position of the operation mode selector switch to “Computer”. Press the ID SET button, and within five seconds use the number (0 to 9) buttons to

enter the 2-digit ID number set by the projector. Change the position of the operation mode selector switch to “Projector”.

However, if the ID ALL button is pressed, the projector can be controlled regardless of the ID number of the projector (simultaneous control mode).

• Do not press the ID SET button accidentally or carelessly because the ID number on the remote control can be set even when no projector is around. If the ID SET button is pressed, the ID number goes back to the one set before pressing the ID SET button unless a numeric button is pressed within five seconds after the ID SET button is pressed.

• Your specified ID number is stored in the remote control unit unless another one is specified later. However, the stored ID will be erased if the batteries of the remote control are left exhausted. When the dry cells are replaced, set the same ID number again.

Attention

Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above table can be calculated using the formulas below.

LW = 0.03713 x SD – 0.05067 LT = 0.049 x SD – 0.05

(LW,LT: m SD: inch) For 16 : 9 aspect rations, the following formal can be used to calculate the screen width (SW).

SW = (SD x 0.0254) x 16 ÷ 337 The value for SW obtained above can then be used with the following function to calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).

LW = 1.827 x SW – 0.05067

LT = 2.411 x SW – 0.05

Note

• The dimensions in the table above and the values obtained from the above formulas may contain slight errors.

• It is recommended that you use the projection distance for the wide lens position.

• The above dimensions are the case when the aspect ratio is 4:3. When an SXGA signal is input and projected, the right and left ends of the picture will be blanked the aspect ratio will be 5:4.

Projection distances

Listed in the table below are the projection distances of the standard lens provided with the PT-D3500E. Refer to page 61 for the projection distances of the projection lenses available as optional accessories.

• Do not place or use one projector on top of another projection unit.

• Install the projector such that the exhaust port on the rear side is not blocked and a clearance of more than 30 cm is available.

Connection

Setup precautions

• Before connecting any of your video/audio equipment to the projector, carefully read the owners manual supplied with the equipment once again.

• All cable connections should be made with the entire system devices, including the projector, first turned off.

• Obtain commercial interconnecting cables for devices supplied with no accessory or optional interconnect

cables.

• Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or shake. Inserting a time base corrector (TBC) in the projector’s video line will relieve this problem.

• The projector only accepts composite-video, S-video, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. level), and digital signal from PC.

• Some PC models are not compatible with the PT-D3500E projector.

• The pin assignments on the S-VIDEO IN port are as

follows:

• The pin assignments on the DVI-D input port are as follows (interface with DVI-D output port on PC):

• The DVI-D input terminal supports single link only.

• EDID settings should be performed to suit the DVI

equipment being connected. (Page 34)

• The DVI-D input terminal can be used to connect to a DVI equipment, but note that images may not appear or the projector may not work properly when connected to certain DVI equipment.

• The pin assignments on the RGB2 input port are as follows:

Note

• For the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, see the data sheet on page 60.

• If your PC has the resume feature (last memory), the computer may not function properly until the resume capability is disabled.

• When the SYNC ON GREEN signal is input, do not input sync signals to the SYNC/HD and VD terminals. Doing so may disrupt the images since, rather than using synchronization initiated by the GREEN signal, the sync signals of the SYNC/HD and VD terminals will be used instead. Even if the images are not disrupted, the white balance may be lost. If this is the case, select “USER” as the “COLOR TEMP.” setting (see page 29), and adjust “W-BAL LOW”.

• The white balance may be lost when the SYNC ON RGB signal is input. If this is the case, select “USER” as the “COLOR TEMP.” setting (see page 29), and adjust “W-BAL LOW”.

POSITION

The position where the images are displayed can be moved here.

: The position is moved horizontally. : The position is moved vertically.

ASPECT

AUTO : (For S-Video/Video signals only)

If an S1 video signal is applied to the SVIDEO port, the picture is automatically switched to the 16:9 aspect ratio. When video signals with a video ID (VID) are applied to the video port, the picture is automatically switched to the 16:9 aspect ratio.

16:9 : The image is vertically compressed into

a 16:9 ratio.

4:3 : The aspect ratio inherent to the input

video signal is left intact when projected onto the screen.

S4:3 : Picture size is compressed to 75% of the

original picture size when projected. (This mode is useful when viewing pictures with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio on a wide screen with the 16:9 aspect ratio.)

What is S1 Video?

• The S1 video is the wide-aspect-ready S-video format containing an aspect sense signal for squeezed videos fed from video equipment.

•

If “AUTO” is chosen, the projector automatically compresses the squeezed input video into the 16:9 aspect ratio if it detects the aspect sense signal.

ZOOM

This enables the enlargement ratio to be changed and the resulting enlarged image displayed.

: The enlargement ratio in the horizontal

direction is changed.

: The enlargement ratio in the vertical

direction is changed.

CLOCK PHASE

(For RGB/YPBP

R signals only)

Clock phase adjustment allows the user to minimize visible noise with the or button.

•

If the picture size is compressed or enlarged by using the 16:9 aspect ratio when the projector is used for profitable purpose or in the presence of an audience (for example, in a coffee shop or at a hotel etc.), it may infringe the rights of the copyright owner of the original picture.

•

If a picture with the standard (4:3) aspect ratio is projected at a wide aspect ratio, parts of the picture may run over the screen bounds or the overall picture may be distorted. To view the picture at its original aspect ratio, choose the standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

Note

•

Keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the angle of tilt for the projector. However, the greater the correction amount, the more the picture quality will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.

• The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is carried out.

Note

• When projecting signals whose dot clock frequency is 108 MHz or higher, the noise may not be disappear even when the clock phase is adjusted.

• Clock phase adjustment is not available for digital RGB signals.

Note

•

If you choose an aspect ratio that does not match the source video’s aspect ratio, you will see a picture with an aspect ratio not the same as that of the original picture. Choose the appropriate aspect ratio carefully to match that of the original picture.

Attention

button:

LINEARITY : After you are finished with keystone

adjustment, adjust vertical linearity with the or button.

Cleaning and replacement of air filter

If too much dust is deposited in the air filter, temperature inside the main unit will rise and the temperature monitor (TEMP) blinks, eventually turning off the power supply. Clean the air filter section once every 100 hours or so as a guideline depending on the location of projector operation.

Procedure of cleaning

Turn off the main power and remove the power plug from the receptacle.

Turn off the main power supply observing the procedure (How to turn “OFF” the power supply) on page 23 and then remove the power plug.

Dismantle the air filter.

Use your finger to pull the air filter tab toward you, and remove it from the main unit.

Set the air filter.

Set the air filter in the reverse order to step .

Clean the air filter.

Suck off deposited dust with a vacuum cleaner.

• Do not suck in the air filter itself.

Attention

• Install the filter material (looks like sponge) such that it is positioned on the left side when you face the filter.

• The air filter must be fitted in place when using the projector. Using the projector without the air filter fitted inside, dirt and dust are sucked into the projector, causing failure.

Attention

• If cleaning cannot remove the dust completely, then it is a sign to replace the air filter. Consult the dealer. In addition, when the lamp unit is replaced, also replace the air filter.

Replacing the lamp unit

Precautions on lamp unit replacement

Remove the power plug and confirm that the surroundings of the lamp unit have cooled off.

Be careful when handling a light source lamp. The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, explosion might result. A used lamp unit may burst if it is handled violently. For disposition of used lamps, request an industrial waste disposal contractor. Do not reset the cumulative time, except when the lamp unit has been replaced with a new unit. If you continue to use a lamp after the replacement time, the lamp may break. Philips screwdriver is necessary when replacing a lamp unit. Take care not to slip your hand when using a screwdriver.

• A lamp unit is an optional part. Contact the dealer. Replacement lamp unit model No.: ET-LAD35 (single bulb) Rating: 300W Long life lamp unit model No.: ET-LAD35L (single bulb) Rating: 160W

• Other lamps than specified above cannot be used. Be sure to use the specified lamp.

Attention

Timing of lamp unit replacement

The lamp used for the light source has its due life. The life of light source lamp used in the main unit is 1 500 hours1(when lamp output is HIGH). However, it may happen that the lamp becomes dead (will not light) by the time of 1 500 hours1depending on the characteristics of individual lamps and working conditions (lamps may reduce their life affected by the times of lighting and the intervals between previous lighting and next lighting). Therefore, it is strongly recommended for the user to keep a spare bulb. If your lamp unit is not replaced after 1 300 hours2(with the lamp output set at “HIGH”), power supply will be turned off automatically at the time of 1 500 hours1, entering a standby state. After 1 500 hours1of initial lighting, power supply is turned off automatically about 10 minutes later, entering a standby state even if it is turned on again.

Indication after 1 300 hours2(with the lamp output set at “HIGH”)

When lamp unit used hours have reached 1 300 hours2, lamp monitor (LAMP) light up including standby state. Further, an on-screen indication will appear for about 30 seconds as shown in the diagram on the left, recommending replacement of lamp unit. (The indication on the left diagram will disappear after about 30 seconds or when either control button on the upper panel of main unit or remote control button is operated.) After the time of 1 500 hours1, the on-screen indication will not disappear unless the menu (MENU) button is operated.

REPLACE LAMP

1 This time period is 4 000 hours when long life lamp units are used. 2 This time period is 3 800 hours when long life lamp units are used.

WARNING!

Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

WARNING!

When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before handling it.

• The number of display dots of the PT-D3500E is 1 024 x 768. If signals with a number of display dots differing from the data listed above are supplied, they will be converted into signals with 1 024 x 768 dots and displayed.

Note

Character “i” that follows the number of displayed dots stands for interlace signal.

The symbols used to denote the image quality have the following significance: AA = the images are projected at the highest quality; A = the images are converted by the image processing circuit and projected; B = the amount of data is scaled down and simplified images are projected.

These signals support the frame lock function.
