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.

Page 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.

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.

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.

Moves the picture position. Press the or buttons to move the picture horizontally. Press the or buttons to move the picture vertically.

DOT CLOCK

(RGB only) Periodic striped pattern interference (noise) may occur when a striped pattern such as the one below is projected. If this happens, use the

and buttons to adjust so that

any such noise is minimised.

CLOCK PHASE

(RGB only) Adjust the DOT CLOCK setting first before carrying out this adjustment. Use the and buttons to adjust so that the noise level is least noticeable.

NOTE:

•

If signals with a dot clock frequency of 140 MHz or higher are being input, interference may not be completely eliminated when the DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE adjustments are carried out.

KEYSTONE

Before carrying out keystone correction, 1) adjust the forward/back angle of tilt of the projector by pressing the adjuster buttons and 2) press the AUTO SETUP buttons to correct vertical keystone distortion. (page 27)

The vertical keystone distortion will be automatically corrected by the projectors automatic setup function.

S4:3

The size of the input signal is compressed to 75% and projected. (This is useful for projecting a picture with a 4:3 aspect ratio onto a 16:9 screen.)

When a 4:3 signal is being input

AUTO

(S-VIDEO only) When an S1 video signal is input to the S-VIDEO terminal, the aspect ratio is changed automatically to project a 16:9 picture.

4:3

The input signal is projected without change.

16:9

The picture is compressed to a ratio of 16:9 and projected.

When a squeezed signal is being input. (The projected image is contracted vertically)

quality will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.

• The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is carried out.

• The range of keystone correction varies depending on the type of signal being input. If you make an adjustment that is outside the allowable range, the setting will not be changed. In addition, if the input signal changes after keystone correction has been carried out, the correction setting may be cancelled. This indicates that the current correction setting exceeds the allowable range for the new input signal.

• If you correct both vertical and horizontal keystone distortion at the same time, the allowable range of keystone correction becomes smaller. If you make an adjustment that is outside the allowable range, the setting will not be changed.

OSD POSITION

Press the or buttons to move the OSD position.

Basic Operation

NOTE:

• S1 video signals

S1 video signals are a type of video signal with an aspect ratio of 16:9 which include a detector signal. This detector signal is output by some sources such as wide-vision video decks. If the AUTO setting above is selected, this projector will recognize the detector signal and automatically switch the aspect ratio to 16:9 in order to project the picture.

• This projector is equipped with an aspect ratio selection function. However, if a mode which does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal is selected, it may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture. Keep this in mind when selecting the aspect ratio.

• If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels with the aim of displaying programs for viewing for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that if the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function is used to change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws.

• If a normal (4:3) picture which was not originally intended for widescreen viewing is projected onto a wide screen, distortion may occur around the edges of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Such programs should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and intentions of the original program’s creator.

RESIZING

This should normally be set to “ON”.

(This setting is only for signals which have lower resolutions than the LCD panels. Refer to page 60 for details.)

The pixel resolution of the input signal is converted to the same resolution as the LCD panels before being projected. For signals with lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels are automatically interpolated into the picture before it is projected. This may sometimes cause problems with the quality of the picture.

OFF

The picture signal is projected at its original resolution, with no pixel conversion. The projected picture will be smaller than normal, so adjust the zoom setting or move the projector forwards or backwards to adjust the picture size if necessary. If set to “OFF”, some features, such as D.ZOOM (digital zoom) or keystone distortion correction will not function.

AUTO SETUP

This item functions in the same way as the AUTO SETUP button on the remote control unit. (page 15)

FRAME LOCK

If the picture’s condition is bad while a RGB moving picture signal is projected, set the FRAME LOCK to “ON”. Refer to page 60 on compatible RGB signals.

Cleaning and replacing the air filter

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature of the projector will rise, the TEMP indicator will flash and the projector power will turn off. The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use, depending on the location where the projector is being used.

Cleaning procedure

qTurn off the MAIN POWER

switch and disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Turn off the MAIN POWER switch according to the procedure given in “Turning off the power” on page 28 before disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet.

w Gently turn the projector

upside down.

NOTE:

• Place the projector on top of a soft cloth so that it will not become scratched.

e Remove the air filter.

Put your fingernails under the air filter and pull the air filter out of the projector.

r Clean the air filter.

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any accumulated dust.

NOTE:

• Be careful not to let the air filter get sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

t Install the air filter. NOTE:

• Be sure to install the air filter cover before using the projector. If the projector is used without the air filter cover installed, dust and other foreign particles will be drawn into the projector, and malfunctions will result.

Replacing the lamp unit

Warning

When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before handling it.

• The lamp cover gets very hot, and contact with it can cause burns.

Notes on replacing the lamp unit

• The light generating lamp is made of glass, so dropping it or allowing it to hit hard objects may cause it to burst. Be careful when handling the lamp.

• After having removed the old lamp, carelessly discarding it can cause the lamp to burst. Dispose of the lamp with the same care that would be taken with a fluorescent light.

• A Phillips screwdriver is necessary for removing the lamp unit. Make sure that your hands are not slippery when using the screwdriver.

NOTE:

• The projector is not supplied with a replacement lamp unit. Please ask your dealer for details. Lamp unit product no.: ET-LA730

CAUTION:

• Do not use any lamp unit other than the one with the product number indicated above.

Lamp unit replacement

period

The lamp is a consumable product. Even when the full life of the bulb has not been exhausted, the brightness of the light will gradually decline. Therefore periodic replacement of the lamp is necessary. The intended lamp replacement interval is 2 000 hours, but it is possible that the lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a particular lamp's characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment. Early preparation for lamp replacement is encouraged. A lamp that has exceeded 2 000 hours of use has a much greater chance of exploding. In order to prevent the lamp from exploding, the lamp will be automatically shut off when 2 000 hours of use have been reached.

NOTE:

• The usage hours explained above are for use when the HIGH setting has been selected for LAMP POWER in the OPTION menu. If the LOW setting is selected, the brightness of the lamp will be less and life of the lamp can be extended.

• While 2 000 hours is the intended replacement interval, it is not a period of time covered by warranty.

Précautions de manipulation

Avertissements concernant la manipulation

S’assurer d’attacher le capuchon d’objectif avant de transporter le projecteur.

La lentille de projection est extrêmement sensible à la vibration et aux chocs. Utiliser la sacoche de transport pour transporter le projecteur.

Avertissements concernant l’installation

Toujours observer les points suivants lors de l’installation du projecteur.

Éviter de l’installer dans les endroits sujets à des vibrations ou à des chocs.

Si le projecteur est installé dans les endroits sujets à de fortes vibrations, comme près d’un moteur, ou s’il est installé à l’intérieur d’un véhicule ou à bord d’un bateau, le projecteur peut être soumis à une vibration ou à des chocs qui peuvent endommager les pièces internes et causer des mauvais fonctionnements ou des accidents. Dès lors, installer le projecteur dans un endroit qui n’est pas soumis à des vibrations ou des chocs.

Ne pas installer le projecteur près de lignes d’alimentation électrique à haute tension ou de moteurs.

Le projecteur peut être sujet à une interférence électromagnétique s’il est installé près de lignes d’alimentation électrique à haute tension ou de moteurs.

Si le projecteur est installé au plafond, demander à un technicien qualifié de faire tous les travaux d’installation.

Si le projecteur doit être suspendu au plafond, il faut acheter le kit d’installation séparé (numéro de modèle: ET-PK730). De plus, tous les travaux d’installation ne devraient être faits que par un technicien qualifié.

Si l’on utilise ce projecteur à un endroit élevé (au-dessus de 1400 m), régler le VENTILATEUR à HAUTE. (Se référer à la page 44.)

Sinon, des anomalies pourront se produire.

Notes sur l’utilisation

Afin d’obtenir la meilleure qualité d’image

Si la lumière extérieure ou la lumière des lampes intérieures brille sur l’écran, les images projetées n’auront pas un bon contraste. Tirer les rideaux ou les stores de toutes les fenêtres et éteindre toutes les lumières fluorescentes près de l’écran pour empêcher la réflexion.

Page 69

Others

Ne pas toucher aux surfaces de la lentille avec les mains nues.

Si la surface de la lentille est salie par des empreintes digitales ou autre, ceci sera agrandi et projeté sur l’écran. D’ailleurs, lorsque le projecteur n’est pas utilisé, rétracter la lentille, puis la couvrir à l’aide du capuchon d’objectif fourni.

À propos de l’écran

Si l’écran utilisé est sale, endommagé ou décoloré, des projections de bonne qualité ne peuvent pas être obtenues. N’appliquer aucune substance volatile à l’écran et ne pas le laisser se salir ou s’endommager.

A propos de la lampe

Il est possible qu’il faille remplacer la lampe plus tôt en raison de facteurs variables tels que des caractéristiques de la lampe, des conditions d’utilisation et un environnement d’installation particuliers, en particulier si elle est utilisée de façon continue pendant plus de 10 heures.

A propos de la carte sans fil et de la carte mémoire SD

L’électricité statique produite par le corps humain peut endommager la carte sans fil ou la carte mémoire SD. Pour empêcher ceci, toucher un objet métallique se trouvant à proximité, tel qu’un châssis de fenêtre en aluminium ou un bouton de porte afin de dissiper la charge statique du corps.

A propos de la fente de carte sans fil et de la fente de carte mémoire SD

S’assurer qu’il n’y ait aucun objet étranger dans la fente lorsqu’on insère la carte sans fil ou la carte mémoire SD. Sinon, on risque d’endommager la carte et la fente.

Avant de faire le nettoyage et l’entretien, s’assurer de débrancher la fiche du cordon d’alimentation de la prise de courant.

Essuyer le boîtier avec un tissu doux et sec.

Si le boîtier est très sale, imbiber le chiffon dans de l’eau avec un peu de détergent neutre, bien essorer le chiffon, puis essuyer le boîtier. Après le nettoyage, sécher le boîtier à l’aide d’un chiffon sec.

Si un chiffon traité chimiquement est utilisé, lire les directives fournies avec le chiffon avant de l’utiliser.

Ne pas essuyer la lentille avec un chiffon poussiéreux ou pelucheux. Si de la poussière ou de la peluche se dépose sur la lentille, elle sera agrandie et projetée sur l’écran. Utiliser une poire à air pour nettoyer toute poussière et peluche de sur la surface de la lentille, ou utiliser un chiffon doux pour retirer toute poussière ou peluche.

Remplacement du bloc de lampe

AVERTISSEMENT

Lors du remplacement de la lampe, la laisser refroidir pendant au moins une heure avant de la manipuler.

• Le couvercle de la lampe devient très chaud, et on risque de se brûler si on le touche.

Notes sur le remplacement du bloc de lampe

•

Faire très attention en manipulant le bloc de lampe retiré, car il contient du gaz sous haute pression et peut facilement s’endommager s’il est cogné contre des objets durs ou s’il tombe.

•

La lampe produisant la lumière est en verre; elle risque donc d’éclater si on la laisse tomber ou si elle heurte des objets durs. Faire bien attention en manipulant la lampe.

•

La lampe usagée qu’on a retirée risque d’éclater si on la jette sans prendre de précautions. Jeter la lampe de la même manière qu’une lampe fluorescente.

REMARQUE:

• Le projecteur n’est pas fourni avec un bloc de lampe de rechange. Demander les détails au revendeur.Numéro de produit du bloc de lampe: ET-LA730

ATTENTION:

•

Ne pas utiliser un bloc de lampe avec un numéro de pièce autre que celui indiqué ci-dessus.

Période de remplacement du bloc de lampe

La lampe est un produit qui doit être remplacé. Même si la durée de vie complète de l’ampoule n’est pas encore épuisée, la luminosité de la lampe diminuera progressivement. Il faut donc remplacer périodiquement la lampe. L’intervalle de remplacement de la lampe prévu est de 2 000 heures; il est toutefois possible qu’il faille remplacer la lampe avant ce délai en raison d’éléments variables tels que les caractéristiques particulières de la lampe, les conditions d’utilisation et l’environnement d’installation. Il est recommandé de toujours avoir un bloc de lampe de rechange prêt à l’emploi. Une lampe qui a dépassé la limite de 2 000 heures d’utilisation risque beaucoup plus d’exploser. Afin d’éviter que la lampe explose, celle-ci est éteinte automatiquement lorsque la limite de 2 000 heures d’utilisation est atteinte.

REMARQUE:

•

Les heures d’utilisation expliquées ci-dessus concernent l’utilisation lorsque le réglage HAUTE a été sélectionné pour PUIS LAMPE dans le menu OPTION. Si le réglage FROIDE est sélectionné, la luminosité de la lampe sera moindre et la durée de vie de la lampe sera allongée.

• Bien que le délai de 2 000 heures soit l’intervalle de remplacement prévu, l’obtention de cette durée n’est pas couverte par la garantie.

Radio frequencies used by the wireless card

The accessory wireless card and the optional wireless card (ET-CDWL1 series) operate on electronic frequencies within the 2.4 GHz band. You do not need a radio licence in order to use a wireless card, but you should make sure that you understand the following points before using such cards.

Do not use the cards near other sources of radio emissions.

The following devices may use the same frequencies that are used by the wireless card. If the wireless card is used near such devices, radio interference may prevent successful communication, or it may result in slower communication speeds being achieved.

• Industrial, scientific, medical equipment, etc

• Electric stoves, etc

• Built-in radio devices used for identifying moving equipment in industrial

production lines

• Certain low-power radio devices

Keep the wireless card as far away as possible from devices such as mobile telephones, TVs and radios when using such devices

Devices such as mobile telephones, TVs and radios use different frequencies from the wireless card, so that there will be no effect on either wireless card communication or on reception or transmission for such devices. However, radio emissions from the wireless card may cause video or audio interference.

Radio emissions from the wireless card will not travel through steel framework, metal sheets or concrete.

The radio emissions from the wireless card will pass through materials such as wood and glass (except for glass which is reinforced with metal fibres), so that communication is possible because the signals can pass through walls and floors which are made from these materials. However, the radio emission cannot pass through materials such as steel frames, metal sheets and concrete, so that communication is not possible because the signals cannot pass through walls and floors which are made from such materials.
