If the power cord is used while damaged, electric shocks, short-circuits or re will result.
Completely insert the power plug into the wall outlet and the power connector into the projector terminal.
If the plug is not inserted correctly, electric shocks or overheating will result.
Do not use anything other than the provided power cord.
Failure to observe this will result in re or electric shocks.
Clean the power plug regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust.
Failure to observe this will cause a re.
Do not handle the power plug and power connector with wet hands.
Failure to observe this will result in electric shocks.
Do not overload the wall outlet.
If the power supply is overloaded (ex., by using too many adapters), overheating may occur and re will result.
POWER
zIf foreign objects or water get inside the projector, cut off the power supply.
zIf the projector is dropped or the cabinet is broken, cut off the power supply.
zIf you notice smoke, strange smells or noise coming from the projector, cut off the power supply.
Please contact an Authorized Service Center for repairs, and do not attempt to repair the projector yourself.
zDo not damage the power cord, make any modications to it, place it near any hot objects, bend it
excessively, twist it, pull it, place heavy objects on top of it or wrap it into a bundle.

CAUTION:
Those with a medical history of oversensitivity to light, heart problems, or poor physical health should
not view 3D images.
This may lead to a worsening of medical conditions.
If you feel tiredness or discomfort, or other abnormality while viewing with 3D Eyewear, discontinue
viewing.
Continuing use may cause health problems. Take a break as necessary.
When viewing 3D movies, aim to view one movie at a time and take a break as necessary.
When viewing 3D images, for example when playing 3D games or using a PC where two way interaction
is possible, take an appropriate break every 30 to 60 minutes.
Watching for long periods of time may cause eye fatigue.
When preparing contents, use contents properly created to be used for 3D.
This may cause eye fatigue or health problems.
When viewing 3D images, pay attention to people and objects in the vicinity.
3D video may be mistaken for actual objects, and the related bodily movements can cause damage to objects
and lead to injury.
Use 3D Eyewear when viewing 3D videos.
Do not tilt your head when viewing with 3D Eyewear.
Those who are near or far sighted, those with weaker eyesight in one eye, or those with astigmatism
should use corrective glasses etc. when using 3D Eyewear.
If the image appears distinctly double when viewing 3D video, discontinue viewing.
Watching for long periods of time may cause eye fatigue.
View at a distance of at least three times the effective height of the screen.
Viewing at distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eye fatigue. As with movies, if there are
black bands at the top and bottom of the video, view at a distance of 3 times or more of the height of the video
section.
Children younger than 5 or 6 years old should not use 3D Eyewear.
As it is difcult to gauge the reactions of children to fatigue and discomfort their condition may worsen
suddenly.
If a child uses the 3D Eyewear, guardians should beware of the child’s eyes becoming tired.

Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
zThe projection lens (optional accessory) is susceptible to effects due to vibration or impact. Make sure to
remove the lens when transporting.
zWhen transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. Not
doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
zDo not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
■After removing the projection lens (optional accessory), attach the dustproof sponge included with the projector.
If the cover is not attached, dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
■Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
■Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal
z
parts and result in malfunctions.
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate due
z
to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air from the air conditioner. Make sure that
the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward
the front of the projector.

■Lens focus
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus
unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected
before adjusting the lens focus.
■Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector
at elevations of 1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than 2 700 m (8 858 ft)
above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
■Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector
at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
■Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or higher above

Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask 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.
Cautions on use
■To get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. 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.
■Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and
projected onto the screen. Please put the lens cover (accessory) on the projector when you do not use it.
■DLP chips
The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or
z
always lit. This is not a malfunction.
Directing a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP chips.
z
■Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibration or
impact.
Doing so may shorten the service life of its internal components.
■Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
18 - ENGLISH
Precautions for use
The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
z
The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or
z
degradation due to cumulative operating time.
The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular,
z
frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.
Continuous use for over 1 week will deteriorate the lamp. The degradation of the lamp due to continuous
z
usage can be reduced by lamp relay function. (
In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
z
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace
z
the lamp unit regularly.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” ( page 148), “Replacing the lamp unit” ( page 148))
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
z
It is recommended that you store replacement lamp units for contingency.

■Viewing 3D video (PT-DZ21KU and PT-DS20KU only)
The projector can display 3D video signals that are input by the “simultaneous”, “frame packing method”,
and “side by side” methods. You are required to prepare external devices for viewing 3D video (such as 3D
Eyewear, video signal output devices) which are suitable for your 3D system. For connections of the projector
and external devices, see the instructions of external devices you use. Refer to “List of 3D compatible signals”
( page 169) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projector.
