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.

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.

Preparation

NOTE:

• If there are any obstacles in between the remote control unit and the 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.

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.
