precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
• Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Do not install the accessory wireless card to any device other than the
card slot of the projector.
• If this is not observed, damage to the device may result.
Ask an Authorised 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 Authorised Service Center to
clean the projector when required. Please discuss with the Authorised
Service Center regarding cleaning costs.

Precautions on handling
Cautions regarding transportation
Be sure to attach the lens cover before transporting the projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When
carrying the projector, use the accessory carrying bag.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
If the projector is set up in locations with strong vibration, such as near a
motor, or if it is installed inside a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector
may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal parts
and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a
place which is free from such vibrations and shocks.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near
motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference if it is set up
near high-voltage power lines or motors.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to
carry out all installation work.
If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling, you will need to purchase
the separate installation kit (Model No.: ET-PK730). Furthermore, all
installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1400 m), set the FAN
CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 44.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the
images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over
any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent
reflection.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens 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, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.
12
About the screen
If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive
projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the
screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
About the lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a
particular lamp’s characteristics, usage conditions and the installation
environment, especially when it is subjected to a continuous use for more
than 10 hours.
About the wireless card and SD memory card
Static electricity from the human body can damage the wireless card or SD
memory card. To prevent this, you should touch a nearby metallic object
such as an aluminium sash or a door knob to dissipate the static charge from
your body.
About the wireless card slot and SD memory card slot
Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting the
wireless card or SD memory card. Failure to observe it may damage the card
and the slot.
Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount
of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the
cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with
the cloth before use.
Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.
If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and
projected onto the screen. Use a blower to clean any dust and lint from the
lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.

receivers, the remote control unit may
not operate correctly.
•
If strong light is allowed to shine onto the
remote control signal receiver, correct
remote control operation may not be
possible. Place the projector as far away
from light sources as possible.
• If facing the remote control unit toward
the screen to operate the projector, the
operating range of the remote control
unit will be limited by the amount of
light reflection loss caused by the
characteristics of the screen used.
NOTE:
• Do not drop the remote control unit.
• Keep the remote control unit away from liquids.
• Remove the batteries if not using the remote control unit for long periods.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Operating range
If the remote control unit is held so
that it is facing directly in front of the
remote control signal receptors on
the front or rear of the projector, the
operating range is within
approximately 7 m (23´) from the
surfaces of the receptors.
Furthermore, the remote control unit
can be operated from an angle of
±30° to the left or right and ±15°
above or below the receptors.

Connections
Notes on connections
• Read the instruction manual for each system component carefully before
connecting it.
• Turn off the power supply for all components before making any
connections.
• If the cables necessary for connecting a component to the system are not
included with the component or available as an option, you may need to
fashion a cable to suit the component concerned.
• If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal which is input from the video
source, the picture on the screen may flicker. In such cases, it will be
necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).
• The projector has a built-in speaker. However, you will need to connect a
separate audio system to the AUDIO OUT jack if your needs specify high
sound volumes. No sound will come out of the projector’s built-in speaker
while the AUDIO OUT jack is being used.
• It may not be possible to connect some types of computer. Refer to the list
of compatible signals on page 60.

Projection distances
Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above table can be
calculated using the formulas below.
If the screen size (diagonal) is SD (m), then the following formula is used to
calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the
projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).
For 16:9 aspect ratios, the following formula can be used to calculate the
projection distance.
NOTE:
• The dimensions in the table above and the values obtained from the above
formulas may contain slight errors.
• If you use the projection distance for the 16:9 screen, the 4:3
projection image overflows the screen at the top and bottom.
• If you set up the projector vertically, it may cause to damage
the projector.
• It is recommended that you set up the projector in a
place that is tilted at less than
±30°. Setting up the
projector in places that are tilted at more than
±30°
may cause malfunctions.
