the all white screen in the test pattern (Æ page 63) for an hour or more. Note that it may not be possible to
completely remove the after-image.
In order to get the picture quality
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.
Depending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air
conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen.
Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners ow
between the projector and the screen.
The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing stays
unstable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and
longer.
Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand.
LCD Panel
J
Optical components
Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke
will reduce the service life of the optical components, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may
necessitate their replacement within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.
J
Lamp
The luminous source of the projecter is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following chracteristics.
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
z
Impact, damage, deterioration from wear and other factors may end the life of the lamp, for example, by
z
causing it to burst with a loud noise.
The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specicities and usage conditions. In particular,
z
continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and
affect the lamp life.
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
z
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the
z
lamp unit consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (Æ page 72))
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
z
It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
z
It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.
z
CAUTION
To connect the projector to a computer or other external device, be sure to use only the supplied power cords and
commercially available shielded cables.

Setting Remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each
projector individually using single remote control, if unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set the same ID number to the remote control.
The factory default of the projector’s ID number is [ALL]. When using single projector, use the <ID
ALL> button of the remote control. If you are not sure of the ID number of the projector, set the ID of the
projector to [ALL] pressing the <ID ALL> button of the remote control.
Open the cover1 ) Install batteries and close the cover2 )
z
(Insert the – side rst.)
Remove the batteries in the reverse order of
installation.
J
Setting the ID number
Press <ID SET> button, then input the projector’s ID number using numeric keys (<1> to <6>) within 5
seconds.
If the <ID ALL> button is pressed, you can operate the projectors regardless the setting of the projectors’ ID
numbers. (Simultaneous control mode)
Attention
Do not press <ID SET> button carelessly because the ID number on the remote control can be set even when no projector
z
is around. If you press <ID SET> and do not press the numeric key (<1> to <6>) within 5 seconds, the ID will remain the
same as before <ID SET> button was pressed.
Your specied ID number is stored in the remote control unless another one is specied later. However, the stored ID will
z
be erased if the batteries of the remote control are replaced or depleted. When the batteries are replaced, set the same ID
number again.
Note
For the setting of the projector’s ID number, see “PROJECTOR ID” of “PROJECTOR SETUP” (
