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.

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.

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.
