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 Authorised Service Centre to clean inside the
projector at least once a year.
If dust is left to build up inside the projector without

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.
Optical components
If you use the projector consecutively 6 hours every
day, the optical components may need to be replaced
in less than 1 year.

J Calculation methods for screen dimensions
You can calculate more detailed screen dimension from the screen diagonal.
SW (m) = SD (") x 0.0203 SH (m) = SD (") x 0.0152
LW (m) = 0.0304 x SD (") - 0.048 LT (m) = 0.0606 x SD (") - 0.057
(LT)
* The results above are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual measurements.
NOTE:
• See “Screen size and throw distance for 16:9 aspect ratio” on page 52.
• Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position as it may cause
malfunction of the projector.
• Make sure the projector lens surface is parallel with the screen. You can tilt the projector
body approximately ± 30° vertically. Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s
life.
• For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sun light or room light does not shine directly onto the
screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the lights.
