NOTE:

• You will need to purchase the separate ceiling bracket (ET-PKB50) when using the ceiling installation method.

• Do not set up the projector vertically or tilted horizontally, otherwise it may cause damage to the projector.

• It is recommended that you set up the projector in a place that is tilted at less than ±30" vertically. Setting up the projector in places that are tilted at more than ±30" vertically may shorten component life.

Connections

Notes on connections

• Read the instruction manual for each peripheral device carefully before connecting it.

• Turn off the power supply for all peripheral devices before making any connections.

• If the cables necessary for connection are not included with the peripheral device or available as an option, you may need to prepare a proper cable for the device concerned.

"'5l

• If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal, the projected image may flicker. t:: In such cases, it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).

l'Cl

• Refer to the list on page 68 for details on compatible signals which can be

'lii

input to the projector. Cl

• Only one audio system circuit is available for each of the PC AUDIO IN

and AUDIO IN L-R connectors, so if you change the audio input source,

you will need to remove and insert the appropriate plugs. G

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.

• If the remote control unit is held so that it is facing directly in front of the remote control signal receptor, the operating range is within approximately 7 m (23') from the surfaces of the receptor. Furthermore, the remote control unit can be operated from an angle of

±30' to the lell

or right and

±15' above or below the receptor.

• If the buttons on the remote control unit are kept pressed, the battery power will be consumed rapidly.

• If there are any obstacles in between the remote control unit and the receptor, the remote control unit may not operate correctly.

• If strong light is allowed to shine onto the remote control signal receptor, correct projector 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.
