Preparation

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 individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off, as the operations that prevent blackening of the bulb (the action of the halogen cycle) do not work enough during short periods of time.

About the SD memory card (PT-L780NTU only) Static electricity from the human body can damage the 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 card slot (PT-L780NTU only) Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting the SD memory card or an optional wireless 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.

Precautions on handling

Cautions when moving the projector

Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector.

The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. Be careful not to subject it to excessive vibration and shock when moving the projector.

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-PK780). Furthermore, all installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

If using this projector at high elevations (above 1 400 m), set the FAN CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 45.)

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.

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.

B Do not drop the remote control unit. B Keep the remote control unit away from liquids. B Remove the batteries if not using the remote control unit for long periods. B Do not use rechargeable batteries.

NOTE:

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.

Setting the projector IDs number for remote control unit

When controlling multiple projectors individually or simultaneously with a single remote control unit, projector IDs must be set into the remote control unit as described in the following steps.

#Press the ID SET button on the remote control unit.

ID number “ALL” will be displayed on the screen.

$Press and hold the ID SET button for more than 2 seconds.

The ID number will change into “1”. The ID SET button will now toggle through ID numbers “2”, “3”, “ALL” and “1” each time it is subsequently pressed.

%Select the ID number you wish and then press the ENTER button.

When the projector ID coincides with the remote control unit

<If the MAIN POWER is ON> The ID number will be displayed in white on the screen. If the projector ID and ID for the remote control unit are not the same, the projector ID is displayed in green. <If the projector is in standby mode> The Power indicator on the projector will flash for 5 seconds. If the projector ID and ID for the remote control unit are not the same, the Power indicator will stay illuminated red.

NOTE:

B The projector ID number in the remote control unit is set to “ALL” by

default. It is therefore not necessary to set a projector ID number when only one projector is used.

B The projector can be turned ON/OFF from the remote control unit only if

the projector ID is set in the remote control unit. For more details on projector ID setting, see page 46.

Connections

Notes on connections

B Read the instruction manual for each system component carefully before

connecting it.

B Turn off the power supply for all components before making any

connections.

B 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.

B 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).

B The projector has built-in speakers. 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 speakers while the AUDIO OUT jack is being used.

B It may not be possible to connect some types of computer. Refer to the list

of compatible signals on page 61.

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:

B The dimensions in the table above and the values obtained from the

above formulas may contain slight errors.

B If you use the projection distance for the 16:9 screen, the

4:3 projection image overflows the screen at the top and bottom.

B 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

±35°. Setting up

the projector in places that are tilted at more than

±35° may cause malfunctions.

Make sure that enough space is kept for the air outlet port.

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.

B The picture size will also change

when correction of keystone distortion is carried out.

B 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.

Basic Operation

NOTE: B 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 recognise the detector signal and automatically switch the aspect ratio to 16:9 in order to project the picture.

B 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.

B If using this projector in places

such as cafes or hotels with the aim of displaying programmes 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 programme under copyright protection laws.

B If a normal (4:3) picture which

was not originally intended for wide-screen 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 programmes should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and intentions of the original programme’s creator.

BWhen a VGA60 or 525p RGB

signal is being input, select the signal in accordance with the input signal.

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 61 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 14)

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 61 on compatible RGB signals.

Audio adjustment

Select the items by pressing the F or G buttons on the remote control unit or the projector.

VOLUME

Press the I or H buttons to adjust the volume of the sound output by the projector’s built-in speakers.

MUTE

SHUTTER

The shutter function can be used to momentarily turn off the picture and sound from the projector when the projector is not being used for short periods of time, such as during breaks in meetings or when carrying out preparation. The projector uses less power in shutter mode than it does in normal projection mode.

OSD

The current input name is displayed in the top-right corner of the screen when the input signal is changed.

OFF

Use this setting when you do not want the current input name to be displayed.

AUTO KEYSTONE

This should normally be set to ON.

During automatic setup, the angle of tilt of the projector is detected and vertical keystone distortion is corrected automatically.

OFF

Use this setting when you do not want automatic keystone correction to be carried out during automatic setup, such as when the screen itself is at an angle.

RGB/YPbPr

This setting is valid when 750p, HDTV60, HDTV50, 525p, 625i and 525i signals are being input. Select the setting in accordance with the input signal. The RGB/YPbPr item is displayed when an RGB1 IN, RGB2 IN or RGB 3 IN connectors has a signal being input.

Précautions de manipulation

Précautions à prendre lors du déplacement du projecteur

Veiller à bien mettre le capuchon d’objectif en place avant de déplacer le projecteur.

La lentille de projection est extrêmement sensible aux vibrations et aux chocs. Veiller à ne pas la soumettre à des vibrations ou à des chocs excessifs lors du déplacement du 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-PK780). 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 1 400 m), régler le VENTILATEUR à HAUTE. (Se référer à la page 45.)

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.

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

Page 40

Others

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 mémoire SD (PT-L780NTU seulement) L’électricité statique dégagée par le corps humain peut endommager la carte mémoire SD. Afin d’empêcher cela, toucher un objet métallique proche comme un châssis de fenêtre en aluminium ou une poignée de porte pour décharger l’électricité statique du corps.

A propos de la fente à carte (PT-L780NTU seulement) S’assurer qu’aucun corps étranger ne se trouve à l’intérieur de la fente lors de l’insertion de la carte mémoire SD ou d’une carte sans fil en option, sinon, cela peut 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.

B 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:

B 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-LA780

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 1 500 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 1 500 heures d’utilisation risque beaucoup plus d’exploser. Afin d’éviter que la lampe explose, celle-ci est éteinte automatiquement lorsque la limite de 1 500 heures d’utilisation est atteinte.

REMARQUE:

B 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.

B Bien que le délai de 1 500 heures

soit l’intervalle de remplacement prévu, l’obtention de cette durée n’est pas couverte par la garantie.
