Important
Information
Precautions for Use
JJIn order to get the picture quality
zzDraw 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.
zzDepending 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 flow between the projector and the screen.
zzThe 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.
JJDo not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.
JJLCD Panel
The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of highprecision technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that this is not a malfunction.
Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display 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.
JJOptical 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.
JJLamp
The luminous source of the projecter is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. A high pressure mercury lamp has following chracteristics.
zzThe brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
zzImpact, damage, deterioration from wear and other factors may end the life of the lamp, for example, by causing it to burst with a loud noise.
zzThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.
zzIn rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
zzThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (Æ page 72))
zzIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke. zzIt is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
zzIt is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.
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.

|
(Insert the – side first.) |
zzRemove the batteries in the reverse order of installation.
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.
JJSetting 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
zzDo not press <ID SET> button carelessly because the ID number on the remote control can be set even when no projector 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.
zzYour specified ID number is stored in the remote control unless another one is specified later. However, the stored ID will 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
zzFor the setting of the projector’s ID number, see “PROJECTOR ID” of “PROJECTOR SETUP” (Æpage 56).

Attention
zzFor optimum viewing quality, install the projector in a location where screen exposure to outside light, light from light fixtures or other light is at a minimum. Also draw the curtains, close blinds and turn off light fixtures.
zzDo not use the projector installed vertically or tilted right or left. Use under such conditions could result in equipment damage.
zzThe projector must be installed so that its inclination to the horizontal plane is ±30° or less. zzInstalling the projector at an inclination that exceeds 30° may reduce product life or result in
malfunction.
You can install the projector on the ceiling using the optional ceiling mount bracket (ET-PKF110H: for high ceiling, ET-PKF110S: for low ceiling).
zzUse only the ceiling mount brackets specified for this projector.
zzRefer to the installation manual for the ceiling mount bracket when you install the bracket and the projector.
zzBe sure to consult your dealer when using the ceiling mount bracket for the PT-F300EA/PT-FW300EA (ETPKF100H for high ceilings or ET-PKF100S for low ceilings).
Attention
zzTo ensure projector performance and security, installation of the ceiling mount bracket must be carried by your dealer or a qualified technician.

zzRead carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. zzTurn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
zzIf 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.
zzVideo 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.
zzThe projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analog-RGB (with TTL sync. Level) and digital signals.
zzSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.
zzWhen using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.
zzFor details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (Æpage 83)

Attention
zzWhen 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.
zzIf 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
zzUse only HDMI High Speed cables that comply with the HDMI standard. Use of HDMI cables that do not conform to the
HDMI standard may fail to display an image at all, cause image flicker and other problems.
zzIt is possible to connect the HDMI input terminal with an external device having a DVI terminal using an HDMI/DVI conversion cable, but with some devices the images may not appear or other problems may occur. (Æpage 50)
zzIt is possible to connect the DVI-I input terminal with an HDMIor DVI-I compliant device, but with some devices the images may not appear or other problems may be encountered in operation. (Æpage 50)
zzWhen [AUDIO IN SELECT] is not set correctly, sound may not be heard and other problems may occur. (Æpage 61) zzThis projector does not support the Viera link (HDMI).
zzUse a computer input terminal or DVI-I terminal to input YPBPR signals. zzThe DVI-I input terminal (digital signal input ) supports only a single link.
zzFor the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, refer to “List of compatible signals”. (Æpage 83) zzIf your computer has the resume feature (last memory), the computer may not function properly until the resume capability
is disabled.
zzWhen the SYNC ON GREEN signal is input, do not input sync signals to the SYNC/HD and VD terminals.
zzWhen using the DVI-I input terminal (digital signal input ), EDID settings may be required for some connected devices.
(Æpage 50)
