damage or injury.

Do not short-circuit, heat or disassemble the battery or place it into



water or fire.

Failure to observe this may cause the battery to overheat, leak, explode or catch fire, and burns or other •
injury may result.

Do not mix old and new batteries.



If the batteries are inserted incorrectly, they may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the •
battery compartment and surrounding area may result.

When inserting the battery, make sure the polarities (+ and -) are



correct.

If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the •
battery compartment and surrounding area may result.

Use only the specified battery.



If an incorrect battery is used, it may explode or leak, and fire, injury or contamination of the battery •
compartment and surrounding area may result close to this port, otherwise burns or damage could
result.

Be sure to install the projection lens cover after installing the projection lens.



If this is not done, dust will collect inside the projector and problems with the projector will result.

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, 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 install the projector near high-voltage 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-PKD100H) (for low ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD100S) and call a specialized technician for

page 76, to “VERTICAL”.

ENGLISH

Notes 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. Make sure that there is no equipment in front of the set which will recirculate the exhaust
air from the set or other nearby equipment.

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.

DLP chips



The DLP chips are made using extremely high-precision technology. Note that in rare cases, pixels may be
missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction.

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 projection starts.•
The possibility of explosion increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time.•
When the lamp bursts, the gas inside will be emitted and may appear like smoke.•
Provide a lamp for replacement in advance.•

Using the remote control unit

Loading batteries

When loading supplied AA batteries into the battery
compartment of the Remote Control, make sure that
their polarities are correct.

Open battery compartment lid.1.

Open the lid in the order •

$

Insert the batteries.2.

Into battery compartment, with their •
polarities orientated as indicated (⊕,⊖) in the
compartment.

Supplied AA batteries
(insert the ⊖ side first).

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).
The effective control range is approx. 30 metres from
the beam receiver on the front or rear.
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.

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

Using the remote control unit (continued)

Note

The Remote Control may not function properly if •
line-of-site operation is blocked.

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.

Setting projector ID
number to remote control

Each projector can be assigned a unique ID number,
and the handheld remote’s number must be set to
match the intended projector. (p. 75) 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.

Press ID SET, and the 1.
projector(s) will display it’s
current ID number onscreen.
Within 5 seconds, use the
numeric keys (0-9) to match the
Remote’s ID number with that of
the desired projector.

Using a wired remote
control

When multiple projectors are connected as part of
the system, connect to units with a M3 stereo mini
jack cable (sold separately) to simultaneously control
multiple main units with a single remote control
through the REMOTE1 IN/OUT terminal. It is effective
to use the wired remote control in the environment in
which an obstacle stands in the light path or where
devices are susceptible to outside light.

Connect to the secondary projector

Connection terminals

M3 stereo mini pin-PIN cable
(sold separately)

Attention

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 you do not enter the two-digit ID number within •
5 seconds after the ID SET button has been
pressed, the ID number will remain at the number
that was set before the ID SET button was 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
batteries are replaced, set the same ID number
again.

The ID number can be set to “ALL” or from “1” to •
“64”.

Remote Control

Attention

Use a two-wire shielded cable with a length of 15 m •
or less. If the length of the cable exceeds 15 m, the
shielding of the cable may not be sufficient and the
remote control may not work.

Attention

Leave a space of 50 cm (19.7˝) or more behind the projector for replacing the lamp and ensuring the air exhaust •
vents are not blocked.

Set up the projector so that air can flow freely around the rear of the projector. In addition, leave a space of •
30 cm (11.8˝) or more at the sides so that the hot air coming out from the air outlet vents does not get drawn in
through the air intake vents.

Set up the projector with a space of 40 cm or more at the front so that the air filter can be replaced.•
When the projector is to be placed inside a box and used, ensure the structure has a duct or the like to •

discharge air from the box, leave the clearances shown in Fig. 2, and ensure the temperature during operation
remains within the 0 °C to 35 °C range.

Connection

Before starting connection

Before connection, read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected.•
Turning off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.•
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the •

device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In •

this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
The projector accepts the following signals: video, S-Video, analog RGB, DVI-D and signals which are •

compatible with the optional input module (p. 28).
Some PC models cannot be connected to the projector.•

Attention

When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-in time base corrector (TBC) or use a •
TBC between the projector and the video deck.

If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. If this is the case, connect a TBC •
between the projector and the video deck.

Note

The DVI-D signal input terminal supports only a single link.•
The HDMI-DVI-D conversion cable is required to connect an HDMI-compliant device.•
When using the DVI-D input, EDID settings may be required for the connected device. (pp. 71, 72)•
It is possible to connect the DVI-D input terminal with an HDMI- or DVI-D-compliant device, but with some •

devices the images may not appear or other problems may be encountered in operation.
