safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.

Electric shocks can result if this is not done.

If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room
immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close
to the broken pieces.

Failure to observe this may cause the user to absorb

the gas which was released when the lamp broke and
which contains nearly the same amount of mercury
as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces may
cause injury.

If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that

the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek
medical advice immediately.

Ask your dealer about the replacement of the lamp

unit and check the inside of the projector.

Ask an Authorized Service Center to clean inside the
projector at least once a year.

If dust is left to build up inside the projector without

being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems
with operation.

It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector

before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask
your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the
projector when required. Please discuss with the
Authorized Service Center regarding cleaning costs.

We are constantly making efforts to preserve and maintain a clean environment. Please take non repairable
units back to your dealer or a recycling company.

Cautions on use

Precautions with regard to safety

In order to get the best picture quality

Draw curtains or blinds over any 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 surfaces of the lens or the front
glass with your bare hands.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from

fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified
and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not
using the projector, close the Front panel cover.

Liquid crystal panel

Do not project the same image for long periods of

time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the
liquid crystal panel.

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with

very high precision technology to provide fine picture
details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear
on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. It
is recommended to switch off the projector once and
try after 1hour later again. Please note that this does
not affect the performance of your LCD.

The projector has a high pressure mercury lamp and
that is characterised as follows.

The brightness of the lamp depends on the duration

of use.

The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by

shocks or chipping damage.

The lamp may explode only occasionally after using

the projector.

The lamp may explode if using the projector after the

instructed lamp replacement timing.

The lamp life is depends on individual lamp

characteristics, usage condition and the installation
environment. Especially the consecutive use of the
projector for more than 10 hours, or the frequent
switching on or off may greatly affect on the lamp life.
